Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca

ncer and birth defects in animals and humans. It apparently acts by entering cells by simple diffusion and binding to proteins in the cytoplasm, then altering the pattern of gene expression. Which of the following are likely to be the cytoplasmic proteins to which dioxin binds?

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  •  growth factor receptors
  •  DNA polymerase
  •  transcription factors
  •  enhancers
  •  nucleosomes

Answer:

Transcription factors

Explanation:

The dioxin is an organic by-product formed from the chemical reaction of the organic compounds.

The dioxin is one of the causes of cancer in organisms and the can acts as teratogen during the development of the prenatal child.

The dioxin shows it affects by binding to specific receptors which can activate the transcription of genes and are thus called transcription factors. The dioxin binds these transcription factor called AH receptors and can cause cancer.

Thus, the Transcription factor is the correct answer.

Use the data to calculate the percentage remaining for samples Y and Z to the nearest tenth of a percent.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Y= 98, 0% , Z = 94,7 %

Explanation:

We use simple 3 rules to find the percentage of purity, using mass data:

Sample Y =

85g----100%

83,30g----X = (83,30gx 100%)/ 85g= 98, 0%

Sample Z =

95g----100%

90g----X = (90gx 100%)/ 95g= 94, 7%

Which of the following statements is true about passive transport?
user100 [1]

Answer:

No cellular energy is needed in the Passive transport.

Explanation:

A movement of atomic molecules and ions throughout the cell membrane is known as passive transport. In this transportation of molecules no cellular energy is used.

As this movement is influenced by the tendency to grow as entropy, the energy is not in need unlike the active transport. Its rate depends on the permeability of cell membrane. There are four types of passive transport- facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion osmosis or filtration.
