The change of potential energy into kinetic energy.
Nothing can photosynthesize in the night time even if the temperature goes up. But even then temperature has nothing to do with Photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
Hospolipid bilayer, with some protein, is what makes the cell membrane selectively permeable.
The statement above is FALSE. In the scenario given above the doctor is working at the organ level. This is because, he is working with lung which is an organ that participates in breathing. The lung is an organ because it is made up of different tissues which are in turn made up of different cells.
Working at the cellular level involve working with cells. For instance, when a microbiologist is growing a cell in a culture, he is working at a cellular level.
Answer:
The events in chronological order are:
- Abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells
- Abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
- Abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome.
- Ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides
- Protein synthesis halts in many tissues
- Multiple organ systems fail
- Victim dies
Explanation:
Abrin is a toxic protein obtained from the seeds of Abrus precatorius, it is highly toxic, with an estimated human fatal dose of 0.1-1 microgram/kg, and causes death after accidental and intentional poisoning.
When ingested the abrin would enter the victim's body and travel through the blood and eventually enter a cell's cytoplasm (abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells). Once there it would interact with the ribosomes and reacts with them on a molecular level (peptide bond catalytic enzyme) (abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm), which results in the ribosome exhibiting its toxic response to abrin (abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome). As a result of the ribosome reacting to abrin (ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides), protein synthesis within that cell is affected (protein synthesis halts in many tissues). Once multiple cells are affected by abrin the organ will exhibit its toxic response (multiple organ systems fail), and the victim would die.
