Answer:

A. The shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.

Explanation:

Proteins are organism compounds that participate in countless biological processes in living organisms, in addition to being able to generate tissues and organs essential for the survival of a living being (however, the protein is not responsible for the storage of genetic information).

Proteins are made up of amino acids, and in order for their function to be performed, they need to assume a specific shape through a folded structure. That is, the shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.

The correct answer is option A- The shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.

Justification: Let's take an example of sickle cell anemia in which the structure of hemoglobin changes due to a change in one amino acid. A small change in amino acid will change the bonds which will affect the structure and folding of the protein. A single change of amino acid can results in the change of protein’s function and structure.

How has human interaction affected the Mississippi Delta?
BaLLatris [955]

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

Provided that there's no diagram, most molecules have particular areas on the molecules, called the "active area" that act as a lock to a particular substrate's molecular structure, providing the key. 
An enzyme's active area is only able to be "unlocked" by a certain substrate's "key".

Answer:

Flexor Group- group of five muscles mainly in charge of movements of forearm, hand and fingers.

Peroneal Group- these muscles play a role in the movements of the ankle joint  and support of the foot.

Hamstring Group- The hamstrings are a group of muscles and their tendons at the rear of the upper leg. They include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. The hamstrings flex the knee joint and extend the thigh to the back side of the body.

Gluteal Group- The gluteal muscles are a group of three muscles which make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The three muscles originate from the ilium and sacrum and insert on the femur.

Quadricep Group- The Latin translation of 'quadriceps' is 'four headed,' as the group contains four separate muscles: the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and the rectus femoris. Each of the vastus muscles originates on the femur bone and attaches to the patella, or kneecap.

Extensor Group- The superficial extensors of the forearm are a group of six muscles situated in the superficial posterior compartment of the forearm. These muscles include the brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digitorum, extensor carpi ulnaris  and extensor digiti minimi.

Sartorius Group- couldnt  find anything

Adductor Group- The adductors are a group of muscles, as the name suggests, that primarily function to adduct the femur at the hip joint. Although they are all located somewhere along the medial side of the thigh, they originate in different places at the front of the pelvis.
