You are interested in the detailed effects of cytochalasin D on microfilaments over time. Based on what you know about the molec

ular mechanism of action of cytochalasins, describe what happens to MFs in cells treated with the drug. In particular, explain why existing actin polymers eventually depolymerize.

Answer:

Basically  Cytochalasin D inhibits   the rate of actin polymerization and how  actin filaments  interacts with its barbed end in solution.

It does this by inhibiting the addition of more actin monomers to the 'barbed' or 'unsealed'  end of the filaments meant for rapid addition of monomers. On binding,it blocked or capped the barbed end  of the actin filaments inhibiting,monomers addition and  polymerization.

Thus  the failure of addition  of more monomers  inhibits polymerization and prevent elongation of actin filaments. Generally,Cytochalasin inhibits polymerisation at   low concentration .Thus at low concentration of 2uM  its inhibits actin  polymerization by 90%.

Answer:

Actin depolymerizing factor binds F-actin cooperatively and induces a conformational change in F-actin that causes it to twist further and become more destabilized. This twisting causes severing of the bond between actin monomers, depolymerizing the filament.

Explanation:

Actin filament depolymerization ensures the turnover of actin filaments within these structures and maintains a pool of actin monomers that permits the continual restructuring and growth of the actin cytoskeleton. ADF/cofilin influences actin filament turnover.

Answer:

A. near-Earth objects.

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments.

When scientists discuss objects that might hit Earth, the term which they use to describe them as a group is near-Earth objects.

A near-Earth objects can be defined as a small solar system body such as comets and asteroids whose orbit draws it close or in proximity to the earth's orbit due to the gravitational force of attraction of nearby planetary bodies.

Basically, if the closest approach of a planetary body to the Sun is less than 1.3 AU it is considered to be a near-Earth objects.

Hence, near-Earth objects may pose a collision danger to planet earth.

PLEASE HELP! Describe what you know about enzymes that explains your evidence and your claim.
grigory [225]

Answer:

In the case of catalase, the optimum pH is approximately pH 7.0. That is, catalase works best at a neutral pH. If the solution is too acidic (low pH value) or too basic (high pH value) the catalase is inactive and no longer functions as an enzyme.

hope this helps!!:)
