Deamination occurs mostly in the brain. T/F

Biology
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is false.

Deamination is the process (reaction) in which an amine group is removed from a molecule of amino acid. The enzymes that are involved in this reaction are called deaminases. Deamination can be used for energy(break down of amino acids), when there is too much protein intake. Amine group is converted to ammonia that is then converted to urea or uric acid in the urea cycle and at the end excreted through the urine.

In the human body, deamination occurs mostly in the liver (e.g. urea cycle), but also in the kidneys (deamination of glutamate).

What happens after activation of T cells<br>​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Helper T cells are arguably the most important cells in adaptive immunity, as they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. They not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, but they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.

Explanation:

Helper T cells become activated when they are presented with peptide antigens by MHC class II molecules, which are expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Once activated, they divide rapidly and secrete cytokines that regulate or assist the immune response.

Radda [10]

Answer is given below :

Explanation:

  • When the beta-globin gene is inserted into the bacterial chromosome, during insertion, beta-globin forms a stop codon between the coding sequences of beta globin, resulting in a reduced amino peptide. Acid on translation
  • Furthermore beta-globins form a tertiary protein complex with alpha-globin, which in addition to the ham-subgroup forms functional hemoglobin.
