Altering protein structure

Biology
2 answers:
scoray [572]3 years ago
5 0

The alteration in the protein structures can take place due to many reason. Once, the structure of the protein is altered, it cannot perform its function, as it cannot bind to the site for which it is designated.

Most of the biological processes use proteins in their completion. In case, the protein cannot perform its function, the metabolic process associated with that particular protein may stop and cause severe illness.

The heat can cause the denaturation of the proteins. The proteins are made up of amino acid sequences, the heat can break the peptide bond present between the amino acids present in protein, which can result in alteration of protein.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d). all of them are correct.

The correct answer is d. all of the answers are true.

The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional (3D) structure, so when it structure is altered its function is altered too. Disruption of the protein  structure is called denaturationo f the protein and it can be achieved by changing the pH, changing the temperature (usually heating), changin the salt concentration... Consequence of denaturation is loss of biological activity which can lead to seriuos medical consequences.

Describe temperate grassland ecosystem characteristics. Include climate, an example of a producer, and an example of a consumer
Aliun [14]

Answer:

A grassland is a biome where dominant vegetation is grasses, a consumer of this biome can be a herbivore (e.g., a rabbit). Coral reefs are home to millions of species of marine animals.

Coral reefs, seaweed and forest biome

Coral reefs are fundamental for protecting wildlife in marine ecosystems.

Seaweed is a common plant in the Euphotic Zone (Sunlight Zone, also called Epipelagic Zone), along with algae and phytoplankton.

Temperate broadleaf forests are represented by areas with marked warm and cool seasons that show moderate annual average temperatures (3 °C  to 25 °C).

Examples of producers in a temperate broadleaf forest may be Eucalyptus species, whereas consumers may include, for example, elk

Suppose there is a protein "A" which binds to a DNA sequence and increases transcription of the gene CBC23. In the presence of m
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also  known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.

Give an example of a sports performer that would require a high level of CV endurance.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability to exercise without becoming overly tired because your heart, lungs and blood vessels are healthy. Exercise examples include walking, jogging, cycling, dancing, running and bike riding. Distance swimming is also a good cardiovascular endurance exercise.
