Altering protein structure

Biology
2 answers:
scoray [572]2 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.

What are hydrogen bonds and how do they affect the physical characteristics of water?
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is a common type of chemical bond in organisms. As the name suggests, this type of bond involves a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen is attracted to a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen of a polar covalent bond in the same or another molecule.

This gives water unique properties, such as a relatively high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion and density.

Eukaryotic cells. Classify each statement according to whether it occurs in eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, or both.
frutty [35]

Answer:

<u>Both</u>:

  • The start codon is often AUG

<u>Eukaryotic cell only:</u>

  • The larger subunit of the ribosome is 60s.
  • The ribosomes initially binds the 5' end of mRNA.

<u>Prokaryotic cell only</u>:

  • The ribosome is 70s
  • Translation occurs in the cytoplasm
  • There are multiple ribosome binding site

Explanation:

  • AUG is the common start codon for both eukaryotic as well prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cell, it codes for methionine . While in prokaryotic cell, it codes for formyl methionine.
  • In prokaryotic cell, ribosomes are found in cytoplasm, hence the translation occurs in cytoplasm.
  • Eukaryotic ribosome consists of two subunits; 40s and 60s(larger subunit)
  • Prokaryotic ribosomes have 70s ribososme, which consists of 50s and 20s subuints
  • in eukaryotic cell, 40s ribosome initially binds to the cap at the 5' end of mRNA.
  • Bacterial mRNA contain multiple ribosome binding sites.

List the eight categories of biological classification of organisms from the most general category to the most specific.
NARA [144]

Answer:

Classification of biological organisms from most general to most specific is -

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Explanation:

A hierarchy system of taxa or ranks of living organisms up to species level is known as taxonomic classification. It includes a higher and most generalized rank domain consist of archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. Second most generalized ranks kingdom that consist of various kingdoms.

Less generalized ranks are in order of a decrease in general and an increase in specificity are phylum, class, order, and family and the most specific ranks are genus and species.
