Aquaporins are proteins that control the passage of water molecules across a cell membrane. The protein forms a pore, or opening

, in the membrane. You isolate what you think are two different molecules of aquaporin and determine that one of the proteins has a larger pore diameter than the second. Which of the following do you conclude?

The two different molecules of aquaporin will have different sequences of amino acids

Explanation:

Aquaporins are an integral type of membrane proteins. They act as water channels and their function is to transport water and other solute materials across cells membranes and thereby control and regulate the water content of the cells.

They are formed by clustering of four water channel monomers forming a tetramer.

Each aquaporin is made up of a specific linear sequence of amino acids and variations in the sequence leads to formation of different aquaporins.

There are more than 10 types of aquaporins are known. The sizes of the aquaporins differ according to their pore diameter of each type and this difference leads to the selective permeability of water across cell membranes.

Answer:

1. Asexual Reproduction (If there is only one organism reproducing)

2. Selective Breeding

Explanation:

1. If there is only one parent organism that means the offspring it is a carbon copy of its parent.

2. Selective breeding is breeding to bring out more desirable traits out of the species, like how dog breeders breed for better sense of smell or hearing.

Proteins that bind to cells and stimulate cell division are called
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

when G1/S cyclin-CDK is activated. Expression of G1/S cyclins is regulated by E2F proteins 

Explanation:

I've found this on Google

Commitment to cell division occurs at Start when G1/S cyclin-CDK is activated. Expression of G1/S cyclins is regulated by E2F proteins in conjunction with pRB proteins.. Mitogens stimulated cell division by increasing the amount of G1 cyclins.

PLEASE HELP, BIOLOGY!!!!
julsineya [31]

Unlike natural selection, genetic drift does not depend on an allele’s beneficial or harmful effects. Instead, drift changes allele frequencies purely by chance, as random subsets of individuals (and the gametes of those individuals) are sampled to produce the next generation.

Every population experiences genetic drift, but small populations feel its effects more strongly. Genetic drift does not take into account an allele’s adaptive value to a population, and it may result in loss of a beneficial allele or fixation (rise to 100\%100%100, percent frequency) of a harmful allele in a population.

The founder effect and the bottleneck effect are cases in which a small population is formed from a larger population. These “sampled” populations often do not represent the genetic diversity of the original population, and their small size means they may experience strong drift for generations.

Which of the following is correct? Which of the following is correct? Most of the ATP are produced by substrate-level phosphoryl
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Each FADH2 yields about 1.5 ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Most of the ATP molecules are produced by oxidative phosphorylation, not by substrate-level phosphorylation. During glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules per glucose are produced by substrate-level phosphorylation. Similarly, Kreb's cycle also yields 2 ATP per glucose by substrate-level phosphorylation.

For each pair of electrons transferred to O2 from FADH2 via electron transport chain, 4 and 2 protons are pumped from matrix towards the intermembrane space by complex III and complex IV respectively. It generates the proton concentration gradient required to drive the synthesis of 1.5 ATP molecules. Since oxidation of FADH2 is coupled to the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP, the process is called oxidative phosphorylation.
