Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Plants play a major role in the Nitrogen and Water cycles which involves how nitrogen and water is circulated between living organisms respectively in the environment. Plants need water for their life processes and they absorb groundwater via their root hairs which removes water from the environment. They help return back water (in form of vapor) when they lose water through the stomata on their leaves. This process in plants is called TRANSPIRATION. Therefore, via the processes of absorption and transpiration, plants influence the water cycle.

On the other hand, Nitrogen is an important component of structures that make up a plant e.g Chloroplast, Nucleic acids, amino acids etc. They get this nitrogen from the soil where it is absorbed via their roots in form of nitrates (a nitrogen compound usable by plant). When the plant dies, they are decomposed by microbes called decomposers e.g fungi, thereby, releasing the nitrogen back into the soil in form of ammonium, which is used up again in the nitrogen cycle. Therefore, plants influence the Nitrogen cycle when by absorbing it via their roots and releasing it back via decomposition.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Topogenic sequences share a series of structural features, and thereby computational algorithms can be used to predict these protein-membrane segments

Explanation:

Topogenic sequences are protein segments formed by alpha-helical transmembrane domains, which are required for the insertion of membrane proteins. These domains share a series of well-defined features: they are composed of segments of about 20 hydrophobic amino-acid residues. In consequence, computational algorithms can be designed to identify protein patterns that fulfill these structural requirements (i.e. segments with a length of 20 residues, hydrophobic level, etc). The models assign a similarity threshold (threshold value) that predict if the similarity level of the protein pattern is good enough to detect a topogenic segment.

In the nucleus, __________ tell cells what to do and how to change.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The nucleus regulates the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm through the use of messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA is a transcribed DNA segment that serves as a template for protein production. It is produced in the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pores of the nuclear envelope, which you'll read about below. Once in the cytoplasm, ribosomes and another RNA molecule called transfer RNA work together to translate mRNA in order to produce proteins.
