Answer:

a) Ubiquitin is a relatively small protein that is widely expressed in eukaryotic cells.

b) It is covalently attached to target proteins in an ATP-dependent reaction. d) Target selection is determined by ubiquitin-protein ligases.

Explanation:

Ubiquitin is a small and highly conserved eukaryotic protein. It is involved in targeting an intracellular protein for degradation by proteasomes. For the purpose, ubiquitin is ligated to the target protein that is to enter proteolytic degradation. The ubiquitin molecules are covalently attached to a Lys residue in the target protein.

Ligation of ubiquitin to the lysine residue of the target protein is mediated by a ubiquitinating enzyme which in turn uses ATP as a source of energy. For example, inactivation of the active cyclin-CDK complex is carried out by ligation of several molecules of ubiquitin. The ligation is triggered by specific recognizing proteins that recruit the ubiquitin ligase to add ubiquitin to the cyclin-CDK complex to target it for destruction by proteasomes.

Why don’t magnets affect gamma rays as they pass over it?
daser333 [38]
We may apply Fleming's Left Hand Rule of Electromagnetism to determine how a charged particle behaves in a magnetic field. However, because the gamma rays do not have a charge on them, like alpha particles and beta particles do, they are not deflected. 
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves and its is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves that they have no charge.

The function of which cell part is most similar to the human excretory sytem?
Radda [10]
<span>Lysosomes are organelles which are responsible for breaking down and digesting wastes in the cell.

Lysosomes and vacuoles have the same functions. Both are enclosed organelle compartments within a cell  and are recycling centers responsible for breaking down substances or complex molecules that goes into a cell. Both are sacs which contain digestive enzymes for breaking down foreign materials, food, and pathogens. Vacuoles are found in plant cells and lysosomes are in animal cells. Vacuoles play an important role in plant’s food production. It stores water and hydration of plants.<span>

How are vascular plants and nonvascular plants different?
BigorU [14]
Vascular plants is the phloem, (vessal) that transports food and the xylem transports water. Nomvascular plants are small with no vascular system. Which means non vascular plants do not have a phloem or a xylem.
