I'm answering this super late, but <em><u>the correct options are:</u></em> organic molecules and cations

Many enzymes exhibit the catalytic activity only in the presence of certain non-protein substances called co-factors.

They can be organic compounds such as haem in peroxidase and other example includes NAD and NADP.

Certain metal ions also acts as co factors such as Zn+2 is a cofactor for carboxypeptidase.

Thus the answer is organic molecule and cations.

While studying the function of a G protein-coupled receptor you develop a modified GTP molecule that has the same binding capabi
laila [671]

<u>Answer:</u>

Effects Include:

Activates secondary messengers such as cAMP which further activates number of hormones like

  • ADH: production of this hormone causes kidneys to retain more water inside body.
  • GHRH: release growth factors and stimulates growth of organism.
  • ACTH: produces fight or flight responses i.e rise in heart beat, rise in Blood pressure etc
  • TSH: Stimulate the synthesis of Thyroid hormone and enhances the metabolism of body. In rare cases causes Goiter without the deficiency of Iodine.
  • LH: Stimulate follicle maturation and formation of ovules in women.
  • Calcitonin: Decreases blood calcium level by deposition calcium in bones. This effect weakens the muscles.
  • Glucagon: Stimulates glycogen breakdown from liver and muscles and many more effects.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

GPCR (G Protien coupled receptors) are present inside plasma membrane in huge amount. As name suggest that these receptors are coupled with G proteins during their inactive state present inside of the cell. During their Inactive state these G proteins are bounded with GDP molecule.

Upon receiving signal molecules from outside of cell alters the shape of GPCR. These receptors also triggers change in G Protein, as a result of this GTP get attached with them. This protein further activates reaction cascades inside of the cell.

What happen if GTP cannot be hydrolyzed to GDP + Pi?

If GTP cannot hydrolyzed in to GDP + Pi than, it cannot be able to dissociate from G proteins. Cascade system doesn't stop and produces many effects on body.

Effects Include:

Activates secondary messengers such as cAMP which further activates number of hormones like

  • ADH: production of this hormone causes kidneys to retain more water inside body.
  • GHRH: release growth factors and stimulates growth of organism.
  • ACTH: produces fight or flight responses i.e rise in heart beat, rise in Blood pressure etc
  • TSH: Stimulate the synthesis of Thyroid hormone and enhances the metabolism of body. In rare cases causes Goiter without the deficiency of Iodine.
  • LH: Stimulate follicle maturation and formation of ovules in women.
  • Calcitonin: Decreases blood calcium level by deposition calcium in bones. This effect weakens the muscles.
  • Glucagon: Stimulates glycogen breakdown from liver and muscles and many more effects.

If a scientist is studying the evolutionary relationship between two species of birds, what tool could she use to help her chart
meriva

Scientists collect information that allows them to make evolutionary connections between organisms. Similar to detective work, scientists must use evidence to uncover the facts. In the case of phylogeny, evolutionary investigations focus on two types of evidence: morphologic (form and function) and genetic.
