Answer:

The enzyme Topoisomerase functions to prevent super-coiling of the  DNA molecule during replication.

Explanation:

  • During replication, topoisomerases are required to relieve the positive supercoiling that arises from DNA unwiding mediated by Helicases.
  • A DNA topoisomerase is a nuclease that breaks a phosphodiester bond in a DNA strand.
  • All topoiomereases are classified as  Topoisomerase I and Topoisomerase II  depending on whether they cleave one or two strands respectively.
  • Topoisomerase I do not use ATP as a source of energy, the reaction is powered by energy stored in super-coiled DNA.
  • Topoisomerase II also do not require external energy but it utilizes ATP hydrolysis to drive conformation changes in the protein during reaction cycle.

What do the results of the agar blocks indicate about the relationship between cell size and diffusion rate
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Knowledge of the relationship between the size (volume) of cells and their surface area helps explain the process of diffusion. Agar blocks and cells with the largest surface area to volume ratio (the smaller cubes) have the highest diffusion rates.

If your blood sugar level is low from skipping lunch what reaction will occur in your liver cells
Vadim26 [7]
The answer is Glycogenolysis

When we are hungry or skipped a meal our  glucagon, <span>an hormones</span> that regulates blood-sugar levels, is released to avoid glucose levels in the blood to decrease to a risky value.

Glucagon makes the liver, but also the muscle, to breakdown accumulated glucose called glycogen into glucose to increase blood-sugar levels. This process is called Glycogenolysis and can also be  stimulated by an increase in epinephrine during  fight-or-flight responses.

Vesicles that come from the trans-golgi can fuse with which organelles?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Transport vesicles, containing partially processed proteins, fuse with the folds of the <u>Golgi apparatus (cisternae)</u> on the cis face and bud from the cisternae on the more distal side (trans face).

Explanation:

Some of the matrix proteins form long, filamentous tethers that are thought to help retain Golgi transport vesicles close to the organelle. When the cell prepares to divide, mitotic protein kinases phosphorylate the Golgi matrix proteins, causing the Golgi apparatus to fragment and disperse throughout the cytosol.
