Explain the difference between a wave's period and frequency.

Biology

mash [69]4 years ago

Period and frequency are related - one is the reciprocal of the other.

Period is the number of seconds per wave. Frequency is the number of waves per second.

In other words, the period is how long it takes one cycle of something to occur. The frequency is the number of cycles that occur per unit time, often seconds.

If 5 waves pass a point in a second, the frequency is 5Hz and the period is 0.2s (each wave took 0.2s to pass the point).

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

The physiology of the brain is closely related to how we think and feel. The limbic system in the brain, for example, is the center of all our emotions. Understanding how this part of the brain functions will greatly help in understanding the psychology of the human being. There are certain hormones that have an affect on our moods and behavior so it is important to gain knowledge of physiology and genetics in order to grasp the science behind emotional responses, memory etc.

Starting with a protein that has been inserted into the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane with the Amino (N) terminal in the E
Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

Ribosomes are the primary structure for protein synthesis. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.  

Free ribosomes are not attached to any cytoplasmic structure or organelle. They synthesize proteins only for internal cell use. Other ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and they are in charge of synthesizing membrane proteins or exportation proteins. Free and attached ribosomes are identical and they can alternate their location. This means that although free ribosomes are floating in the cytosol, eventually, they can get attached to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  

Synthesis of proteins that are destined to membrane or exportation starts in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a <u>signal aminoacidic sequence</u>. This signal sequence varies between 13 and 36 amino acids, is located in the <u>amino extreme</u> of the synthesizing protein, and when it reaches a certain length, it meets the <u>signal recognizing particle</u>. This particle joins the signal sequence of the protein and leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. When they reach the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the signal recognizing particle links to a receptor associated with a pore. Meanwhile, the ribosome keeps synthesizing the protein, and the enlarged polypeptidic chain goes forward the reticulum lumen through the pore. While this is happening, another enzyme cuts the signal sequence, an action that requires energy from the ATP hydrolysis. When the new protein synthesis is complete, the polypeptide is released into the reticulum lumen. Here it also happens the protein folding (which is possible by the formation of disulfide bridges of proteins are formed) and the initial stages of glycosylation (the oligosaccharide addition).  

Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged into vesicles and sent to the Golgi complex, where it occurs the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. The Golgi complex sends proteins to their different destinies. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organelle. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.  

There are certain signal sequences in the <u>carboxy-terminal extreme</u> of the protein that plays an important role during the transport of membrane proteins. A signal as simple as one amino acid in the c-terminal extreme is responsible for the correct transport of the molecule through the whole traject until it reaches the membrane.

How does the prey population benefit when individuals in this population are eaten by a predator?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Not well

Explanation:

A large prey population means there's plenty of food for predators, the predators are more likely to survive and reproduce A large predator population means that the prey population will start to fall as individuals are killed and eaten As the prey population falls, there is less food for predators, so they too decrease in numbers
