How many different amino acids are responsible for making up the thousands of different proteins found in a cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

20 amino acids.

Explanation:

Amino acids are the monomers that combine together to form a protein. Two main types of amino acids are non- essential amino acids and essential amino acids.

Thousands of different proteins can be made by the simple 20 amino acids present in the cell. The amino acids can combine in different ways to form all the proteins present in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (5).

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: The correct answer is- B)They are single cells that lack a nucleus and tend to live in extreme conditions.

Archaebacteria are the oldest life forms, which are found on earth. They are unicellular ( made up of one cell) prokaryotes ( lacking nucleus and membrane  bound subcellular organelles) belonging to the kindom, Archea. They are found in extremely harsh environmental conditions such as hotsprings, boiling mud surrounding volcanoes.

Example- Methanogens, halophiles.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Imagine that scientists have discovered an industrial pollutant that modifies the structure of a cell cycle checkpoint protein s
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Carcinogenic

Explanation:

A carcinogenic substance is able to modify or damage the genome in a way which promotes the formation of cancerous cells. Cell cycle checkpoint proteins are very crucial for the progression of normal cell cycle. They check for any anomaly in their designated step and halt the process if it is detected. Repair mechanism is activated and cell cycle does not progress till the damage has been repaired.

Here, the pollutant alters the structure of these proteins such that they lose their function. They are not be able to stop cell cycle from progressing even if there is some damage in the genome. The cell divides and gives rise to more damaged cells. Eventually these cells lose their normal function and just keep dividing due to which their division rate becomes double of the normal rate. It can ultimately give rise to cancer which is why the chemical is carcinogenic.

Consider this reaction: HCO3− + H2S → H2CO3 + HS−
Kaylis [27]

Answer: The correct option is HCO_3^-

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base pair, an acid is a substance that donates protons and a base is a substance that accepts protons.

From the given options, HCO_3^- represents a Brønsted Lowry base as it is accepting H^+ and H_2S  represents a Brønsted Lowry acid as it is donating H^+.

HCO_3^-+H^+\rightleftharpoons H_2CO_3

H_2S\rightleftharpoons HS^-+H^+
