Treadmiling contributes to actin based motility

Katena32 [7]3 years ago

La actina es una familia de proteínas globulares que forman los microfilamentos, uno de los tres componentes fundamentales del citoesqueleto de las células de los organismos eucariotas (también denominados eucariontes). Puede encontrarse comomonómero en forma libre, denominada actina G, o como parte de polímeros lineales denominados microfilamentos o actina F, que son esenciales para funciones celulares tan importantes como la movilidad y la contracción de la célula durante la división celular.

De la importancia capital de la actina da cuenta el hecho de que en el contenido proteico de una célula supone siempre un elevado porcentaje y que su secuencia está muy conservada, es decir, que ha cambiado muy poco a lo largo de la evolución.2 3Por ambas razones se puede decir que su estructura ha sido optimizada. Sobre ésta se pueden destacar dos rasgos peculiares: es una enzima que hidroliza ATP, la "moneda universal de la energía" de los procesos biológicos, haciéndolo muy lentamente. Pero al mismo tiempo necesita de esa molécula para mantener su integridad estructural. Adquiere su forma eficaz en un proceso de plegamiento casi dedicado. Además es la que establece más interacciones con otras proteínas de cuantas se conocen, lo que le permite desempeñar las más variadas funciones que alcanzan a casi todos los aspectos de la vida celular. La miosina es un ejemplo de proteína que une actina. Otro ejemplo es la vilina, que puede entrelazar la actina en haces o bien cortar los filamentos de actina, dependiendo de la concentración de catión calcio en su entorno.<span>4</span>

What prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium​
irina1246 [14]

The Mitral valve which is also known as left atrioventricular prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium.

Explanation:

  • Human heart is four chambered.
  • Two of these are receiving chambers known as atria and the other two are distributing chamber known as Ventricles.
  • Atria are superior chambers and ventricles are inferior chambers.
  • The heart has four valves broadly grouped as Atrioventricular valves and Semi lunar valves.
  • Atrioventricular valves allows flow of blood from atria to ventricle. These are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.
  • Semi-lunar valves allow blood to pass out of the heart. These include the pulmonary and aortic valves.
  • The pulmonary valve allows blood to flow from right ventricle  to the heart while aortic valve allows blood to flow from left ventricle to the Aorta.
  • The Tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle allows blood to flow from right atrium to the right ventricle.
  • The Bicuspid valve ( Mitral valve)  located between the left atrium and left ventricle allows the blood flow from left atria to left ventricle.
  • Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood and thus prevent its back flow.

Which of the following is the largest and most inclusive of Linnaeus's taxonomic categories?
ElenaW [278]
The correct option is B.
The Linnaeus' taxonomic classification of organisms categories all living organisms into seven different groups, which are: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and kingdom. The smallest group is the specie while the largest group is the kingdom. The kingdom is divided into two, the animal kingdom and the plant kingdom. The kingdom is the larges and most inclusive of Linnaeus taxonomy; the animal kingdom is made up of all animals while the plant kingdom is made up of all plants.
