What is the process by which heat or acidity disrupts the normal shape of a protein chain?

Biology
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
4 0
The process wherein acidity or heat disrupts or destroys the normal shape of a protein is called denaturation. It involves the losing of nucleic acids their quaternary, tertiary and secondary structure. However, this reaction is not enough to break the peptide bonds so the primary structure remains.

Which hormones are involved in building and maintaining healthy bone tissue? select all that apply?
gavmur [86]
Answer;
Insulin and the growth hormone
The hormones that are involved in building and maintaining healthy bone tissues are Insulin and growth hormone


Explanation;
Insulin has some anabolic properties for bone. It is uncertain whether insulin stimulates bone directly or indirectly by increasing muscle work and thus skeletal loading. 
Growth hormone is a peptide hormone secreted from the pituitary gland under the control of hypothalamus. It directly and through IGF-I stimulates osteoblast proliferation and activity, promoting bone formation. Additionally it stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activity,promoting bone resorption.

Investigator Benton uses several methods to analyze hair samples found at the crime scene. He examines the physical features of
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Medulla.

By analyzing the DNA extracted from the hair follicle, the medullary index and the pattern of medulla in the hair samples obtained from a crime scene, an investigator can identify the owner.

Explanation:

The hair consists of follicle and shaft. The follicle is the part of the skin, where the hair grows and the hair shaft has three layers: an inner medulla,  a cortex, and an outer cuticle.

The morphology (physical characteristics) of hair provides a broad detail on the racial background of  an individual and an investigator can identify a  group of people who share similar  traits. But the hair without follicle cells attached to it, cannot  be used to identify a specific individual. If the follicle of a hair is present, then it can lead to individual identification by DNA analysis. Also the medulla of animals is larger than that in the humans. By comparing the medullary index (the ratio of the diameter of the medulla to the diameter of the entire  hair), it can be determined if the hair obtained from crime scene belongs to animals or humans. The macroscopic (length, color, and curliness) and  microscopic characteristics ( pattern of the medulla, pigmentation of  the cortex, and types of scales on the cuticle) of the hair samples are studied during a crime investigation. If the entire hair follicle (follicular tag) is present in the hair samples found at the crime scene, the blood and tissue attached to  the follicle is extracted and analyzed using DNA profiling. DNA analysis of the hair follicle provides  an identification with greater accuracy than the hair shaft.

Which statement is true regarding monocytes
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: <u>Option C, they digest pathogens</u>

Explanation: Monocytes are involved in the process of digesting pathogens and infected cells, termed as phagocytosis.

Monocytes don't produce antibodies, only B cells can produce antibodies. So, option A and D are incorrect. Also they appear colorless when observed under the microscope. They don't appear granular, so option B is also incorrect.
