Answer:

16.66 %

Explanation:

The receptors that are bound with the ligand can be calculated by the formula as follows:

Kd = [R] [L]/[RL]

Here, Kd is dissociation constant = 1.5 mM

R is free receptor concentration = 10 mM

L is free ligand concentration = 2.5 mM

The values needs to be constitute to find the percentage  of receptors that are bound to ligand.

Put all the values

1.5 = 10 × 2.5 / RL or RL = 25 /1.5

So RL = 16.66

Hence 16.66 % of receptor is bound to substrate.

Thus, the answer is 16.66%

Natali [406]

We can confirm that the reintroduction of the wolf to the ecosystem would most likely cause a decline in the population of coyotes.

<h3>Why would this cause a decline in the population of coyotes?</h3>

The wolf, in most ecosystems, is considered to be the top predator. This means that it will also hunt and consume the coyotes. This alone would cause a decline in the coyote population as they now have an additional predator hunting them. Also, the wolves would be competing with the coyotes for food sources, furthering the impact on the coyote population.

Therefore, we can confirm that the reintroduction of the wolf to the ecosystem would most likely cause a decline in the population of coyotes.

Natali [406]

Answer:

<h2>1. Protein synthesis on attached ribosomes:</h2><h2>Destination:  cell membrane. </h2><h2>One general function : to be a surface receptor.</h2><h2>2. On free ribosomes- destination:  cytosol </h2><h2>One general function: microfilaments.</h2>

Explanation:

Proteins are synthesized by the process known as translation. Translation occurs by ribosomes as they can be attached with endoplasmic reticulum or they can be free in the cytosol.

Protein is synthesized according to the sequence of nucleotide on mRNA.

Newly synthesized protein contain signals  sequence which targets then for their final destination.

1. ONE ultimate destination of a protein produced on an attached ribosome:  These proteins, after synthesis enter into ER and then according to the signal sequence, they reach to their final destination.

Example: cell membrane.

One general function of the protein -  to be a surface receptor

2. One ultimate destination of a protein produced on a free ribosome: cytosol

One general function of the protein: microfilaments
