Sindrei [870]

The correct answer is The shape of a PROTEIN molecule resembles a messy group of coat hangers.

To function, proteins must have the necessary amino acids in a specific sequence and be folded into a specific shape. A sequence is a continuous series. Proteins loop, coil, and crinkle into complicated shapes. The shapes appear more like messy groups of wire coat hangers than stacks of neatly folded dish towels.

Fantom [35]
<h2>Lac operon </h2>

Explanation:

Lac operon present in prokaryotic chromosomes whose product involves in transportation and catabolism of lactose

  • Lac operon consists of three structural genes called Lac Z,Lac Y and Lac A and a regulatory element(promoter and operator)
  • Lac I gene is present outside the Lac operon,act as regulatory gene and control the expression of Lac operon genes
  • Lac Z codes for β galactosidase which converts lactose into allolactose
  • Lac Y codes for Lac permease which act as a membrane transporter and transport lactose into the cells
  • Lac A codes for transacetylase which neutralize the toxic effects of lactose

Lac operon in absence of lactose

  • In absence of lactose Lac operon exists in switch off state
  • Lac I gene produces Lac repressor which binds to operator region and prevent binding of RNA Polymerase thus blocks transcription

Lac operon in presence of lactose

  • In presence of lactose Lac operon exists in switch on state
  • In presence of lactose few molecules of Lac operon enzyme catalyse conversion of lactose to allolactose
  • Allolactose act as an inducer,binds to the Lac repressor and induce conformational changes causing dissociation of Lac repressor from operator
  • In absence of Lac repressor RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter and starts transcription of genes which catabolize lactose

Lac promoter is a weak promoter and direct transcription of Lac operon genes in very low level in presence of lactose

  • For higher level expression of Lac operon genes,operon system require conversion of weak promoter to strong promoter which is always mediated by catabolite protein-cAMP complex(CAP-cAMP complex)
  • CAP cAMP complex binds to the upstream of promoter called CAP binding site and stimulate expression of Lac operon genes by facilitating binding of RNA Polymerase
  • Catabolite activator protein(CAP) or cAMP receptor protein(CRP) activate when cAMP binds
  • cAMP is a secondary messenger synthesized from ATP and act as co-activator of CRP
  • With respect to CAP cAMP complex Lac operon system is positively controlled
  • In prokaryotic cell cAMP is very low when glucose concentration is relatively high and vice versa
  • At high concentration of glucose the growth rate is maximum and lactose catabolism is repressed called catabolite repression

As a general rule, it takes people between the ages of 20 and 29 two weeks to adapt to a cardiorespiratory activity workload.
Maru [420]

Answer:

As a general rule, it takes people between the ages of 20 and 29 two weeks to adapt to a cardio-respiratory activity workload.

  • True

Explanation:

  • Cardio-respiratory activities are those activities which are done to provide strength to our heart and lungs. These activities include running, bicycling and swimming.
  • It takes only two weeks for the people of ages between 20 and 29 to make them comfortable in a cardio-respiratory activity.
  • There are four components of the cardio-respiratory activities/ training:
  1. Frequency
  2. Intensity
  3. Time
  4. Type

tigry1 [53]
Actually, the mitochondria does not MAKE the energy, it just makes it usable to the cell! It is through cellular respiration that this can take place.
