How do proteins utilize the energy from ATP?

Rashid [163]

Hello.

TP is a molecule with adenosine and three phosphate groups attached to it (adenosine triphosphate). To get energy from ATP, one of the bonds between the phosphates is broken, yielding energy and the molecule ADP - adenosine diphosphate, a molecule with adenosine and two phosphates.

In order to 'recharge' the molecule, a phosphate group is re-attached to ADP by ATP-synthase to yield ATP. In other words, energy is stored in the bonds between phosphates, and breaking the bond releases that energy.

What are the three major components of a cladogram?

Dimas [21]

A cladogram is a branching diagram that shows the cladistic relationship between a number species. It comes from the greek clados meaning branch and gramma meaning character. It is not to be confused with an evolutionary tree since it does not show the relationship between ancestors and descendants plus it also lacks the ability to show how they have changed over time. The major components of a cladogram are the tip (the start of the lineage), root (the end of the lineage) and node (where two or more lineages combine).

Proteins may be classified according to their three-dimensional shapes. Determine whether the following examples and description

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

-often function as enzymes or transport proteins ⇒ globular proteins

-peptide chains arranged in long strands, or fibers ⇒ fibrous proteins

-peptide chains highly folded into spherical shapes ⇒ globular proteins

-keratins ⇒ fibrous proteins

-hemoglobin ⇒ globular proteins

-water-soluble ⇒ globular proteins

-collagens ⇒ fibrous proteins

-insoluble in water ⇒ fibrous proteins

-generally function in structure and support ⇒ fibrous proteins

Explanation:

Fibrous proteins are composed by large polypeptide chains which interact each other and form large structures. They have water insoluble and have structural and protection functions- they are components of cells and tissues. Examples are: collagen, fibronectin, keratin, elastin, actin.

Globular proteins have a spherical compact structure in which hydrophobic aminoacids are buried inside the structure and hydrophilic aminoacids (which can interact with water molecules) are exposed to the exterior medium. For this, they are water soluble. They have often transport and catalytic functions. For example: hemoglobin, mioglobin, albumin, enzymes in general.

In a dihybrid cross with genotypes JjQq and JJQq, what is the probability of getting an offspring with genotype JjQq?

valentina_108 [34]

There is a 1:4 chance of getting JjQq. The parent JjQq can produce four genotypes: JQ, Jq, jQ, and jq. the parent JJQq can produce two genotypes: JQ and Jq. When we do a punnett square:
JJQQ, JJQq, JjQQ, JjQq,
JJQq, JJqq, JjQq, and Jjqq
There are two JjQq.
Two out of eight is one out of four.
