What are some functions of protein

Biology
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago
7 0
Proteins also have structural or mechanical functions, such as actin and myosin in muscle and the proteins in the cytoskeleton<span>, which form a system of scaffolding that maintains cell shape. Other proteins are important in cell signaling, immune responses, </span>cell adhesion<span>, and the cell cycle. hope that helped</span>

What 3 molecules that aren't DNA helps us learn about evolution?
max2010maxim [7]
We know, DNA is the main molecule by which scientists can learn about evolution by comparing the DNA structure between two different organisms. 
But, in addition to DNA (which is most helpful & important) still, there are 3 molecules that can help us, They are:

1) RNA : - It is found in cytoplasm, as DNA transfers it's codes into RNA during Central dogma, it can help us in evolution studies.

2) Proteins: - Another helpful feature, into which RNA transforms in Central Dogma.

3) Pseudogenes: - It is also known as "Non-coding DNA" It is extra <span>DNA in a genome that do not get transcribed into RNA to synthesize proteins. They can also help us in Evolutionary studies.

Hope this helps!</span>

How do the hormones of the pancreas maintain homeostasis?
faust18 [17]
Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.

GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.

INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
