Biological muscle cells can be thought of as nanomotors that use the chemical energy of ATP to produce mechanical work. Measurem

ents show that the active proteins within a muscle cell (such as myosin and actin) can produce a force of about 8.0 pN and displacements of 8.0 nm. How much work is done by such proteins?

Answer:

The answer is 6.4 × 10^{-20} Joules

Explanation:

This question wants to effectively test your knowledge of the names of the negative powers of 10, so first of all, before calculating, let me explain what each of the symbols in the units given in the question means:

Force = 8.0 pN = 8.0 × 10^{-12} N

displacement = 8.0 nm = 8.0 × 10^{-9} N

Now let us calculate the work.

work = Force × Displacement

work = 8.0 × 10^{-12}  × 8.0 × 10^{-9} = 64 × 10^{-21}

= 6.4 × 10^{20} Joules (in standard form)

) what basic principles of antibody-mediated immunity are utilized in an elisa assay
Komok [63]
<span>The most crucial principle of ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) is a highly specific antibody-antigen interaction.</span>
ELISA is a biochemical technique used to detect the presence of an antibody or an antigen in the biological sample. Simply described, in an ELISA, an antigen is immobilized on a solid surface and then a specific antibody is applied over the surface so that it can bind to the antigen. The antibody is usually linked to an enzyme, and in the final step, a substrate for that enzyme is added. The enzyme can convert it to some detectable signal, most commonly a color change. <span>Medical usage of ELISA is in the diagnosis of HIV infection, pregnancy tests, measurement of cytokines…</span>

All embryos appear female during early development. <br> a. True<br> b. False
guapka [62]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Geneticists have discovered that all human embryos start life as females. In the early development in the embryonic stage, this is true both for humans and mammals. This changes only at the 2nd month (in the case of humans, since different mammals have different gestating periods) if the embryo can elaborate enough androgens (dominant male hormone) to offset the maternal estrogens (dominant female hormone) then, maleness develops.

Survival of the fittest. If one organism thrives better in an enviornment and the other organism struggles, the one that is more adapted will obviously play a part in helping the less adapted organism die out. Food is a major point along with other aspects
