Answer: A B C
Explanation:
The synthesis of ATPS takes place in the mitochondrial and chloro plasts of cells.It is an exergonic reaction that involves the use of energy released from influx of protons to for the catalysis of in organic phosphate and ADP by enzyme ATP Synthase in the stroma and matrix of chloroplasts and mitochondrial respectively.
The 3 bonds that connected phosphate ions to ADP to form ATP must be broken down(hydrolysis) with water to release the energy for biochemical activities of the cells.
The first bond hydrolysis releases first phosphate and ATP changed to ATP,
The second bond releases breakage changed the ADP to AMP with the release of more energy.
The incorrect among the choices is "<span>direct signaling involves the activation of g proteins"
This is incorrect because direct signaling does not involve the activation of g proteins rather it involves the activation of ion channels resulting to either an excitation reaction (depolarization of the membrane) or an inhibition reaction (hyperpolarization of the membrane); and this will ultimately affect the action of the organ the nerve is innervating.</span>
The answer is; catalyst
These proteins are called enzymes. They work by lowering the activation energy of reactants and hence speed up the biochemical reaction. They are not affected in the process hence one enzyme molecule can catalyze many reactions. An example of such an enzyme is carbonic anhydrase that enables carbon dioxide to dissolve in blood plasma as carbonic acid.
Answer: The calcium ion binds to troponin, and this slides the tropomyosin rods away from the binding sites.
Explanation:
Contraction and relaxation of muscle cells brings about movements of the body. The contractile myofilament called sarcomeres are bounded at each end by a dense stripe called the Z - line, to which the myosin fibres are attached, and lying in the middle of the sarcomere are the actin filaments, overlapping with the myosin.
When action potential spreads from the nerve along the sarcolemma (muscle cell membrane), it penetrates deep into the muscle cell through the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm of muscle cell), and releases CALCIUM from the intracellular stores.CALCIUM triggers the binding of myosin to the actin filament next to it forming CROSS BRIDGES.
For this to occur, ACTIN BINDING SITE has to be made available. TROPOMYOSIN is a protein that winds around the chains of the actin filament and covers the myosin-binding sites to prevent actin from binding to myosin. The first step in the process of contraction is for calcium ions to bind to troponin so that tropomyosin can slide away from the binding sites on the actin strands.
Answer:
Lichens are not parasitic when they grow on trees, they just use the tree bark as a home. They enrich the soil by trapping water, dust and silt. When lichens die they contribute organic matter to the soil, improving the soil so that other plants can grow there.
