Why is the pituitary gland so important?​

Biology
1 answer:
kifflom [539]3 years ago
7 0

It is the main endocrine gland and a small structure in the head. It's named the "master gland" because it produces hormones that control other glands and many other body functions including growth. It consists of the anterior and posterior pituitary.

Hope that this helps! Also nice username

What can you infer is the reason fruit flies are the most commonly used organism for this type of investigation
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

In the case of genetic investigation, scientists used fruit flies as their model organism since they share 75% of the genes that cause disease with humans.  Fruit flies are also great to work in a research setting because they are relatively easy to take care of, especially compared to larger and more expensive organisms like rats or fish.Answer:

What is the structure of a protein molecule?
Olenka [21]

Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers — specifically polypeptides — formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue (chemistry) indicating a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond. By convention, a chain under 30 amino acids is often identified as a peptide, rather than a protein.[1] To be able to perform their biological function, proteins fold into one or more specific spatial conformations driven by a number of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, Van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic packing. To understand the functions of proteins at a molecular level, it is often necessary to determine their three-dimensional structure. This is the topic of the scientific field of structural biology, which employs techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and dual polarisation interferometry to determine the structure of proteins.

Protein structures range in size from tens to several thousand amino acids.[2] By physical size, proteins are classified as nanoparticles, between 1–100 nm. Very large aggregates can be formed from protein subunits. For example, many thousands of actin molecules assemble into a microfilament.

A protein may undergo reversible structural changes in performing its biological function. The alternative structures of the same protein are referred to as different conformational isomers, or simply, conformations, and transitions between them are called conformational changes.
