Biology

Nataly_w [17]2 years ago
5 0


They are composed of long chains of amino acids.

The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Amino acids are organic molecules made up an alpha (center) carbon atom which is linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom and  a variable component  known as a side chain.

Amino acids are joined to each other by peptide bonds  to form either a short chain called an oligopeptide or  a long chain called a polypeptide.  These chains are what forms the protein.

What is the significance of a recombinant plasmid?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

recombinant DNA

A strand of DNA formed by splicing DNA from 2 different organisms is called recombinant DNA

Explanation:

Using the techniques of recombinant DNA technology, certain enzymes known as restriction enzymes capable of cleaving double stranded DNA in the plasmid of bacteria genomes (other organisms like eukaryotes can also be used) are used to obtain specific sequences of DNA bearing desirable traits in the both organisms.

Once the two DNA fragments have been obtained, another enzyme known as DNA ligase is used to seal the point of splicing, thereby constructing a single DNA from the two organisms.

This single DNA is known as Recombinant DNA

Power stroke (myosin head bends) coupled with the release of ADP and phosphate, ATP hydrolyzed to ADP and Phosphate and the Myos
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Power stroke (myosin head bends) coupled with the release of ADP and phosphate

Explanation:

Muscle contraction results from myosin heads adhering to actin and attracting it inwards. It uses ATP. Myosin adhers to actin at a binding site of its globular actin protein and adheres at another binding site for ATP (hydrolyzed ATP to ADP, Pi  and energy)

ATP binding prompts myosin to detach from actin, ATP is changed to ADP and inorganic phosphate, Pi by ATPase. The energy formed at this process orientates myosin head to a “cocked” direction.

The myosin head goes in the direction of the M line, holding the actin with it in the process causing the filaments to orientate nearly 10 nm in the direction of the M line--- power stroke (force is produced), the sarcomere reduces in length and the muscle contracts.

Note: The power stroke is seen when ADP and phosphate disattaches itself from the myosin head.

At the terminal point of the power stroke, the myosin head as low-energy, followed by ADP release.

The attached image shows the cross-bridge muscle contraction cycle, which is activated  by Ca2+ sticking to the actin active site. And how actin moves in relation to myosin.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct order is 3, 4, 2 and 1.

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis refers to the condition in which the plaque gets accumulate within the blood vessels' walls. In the condition, inflammation occurs in the arteries' inner lining. The following is the sequence of events that results in atherosclerosis is:  

1. A huge concentration of LDL cholesterol gets gathered within the inner walls of the arteries.  

2. This causes discharging of macrophages to the site.  

3. The engorgement of WBCs takes place with fatty deposits.  

4. The hardening of plaques takes place, which eventually prevents the flow of blood in the prime arteries.
