Why are contractile vacuoles important to unicellular organisms like paramecia

Biology
1 answer:
katrin [286]3 years ago
4 0

A contractile vacuole works just the same as the name suggests, in that it expands and contracts. The point of the contractile vacuole is to pump water out of the cell through a process called osmoregulation, the regulation of osmotic pressure. It occurs in freshwater protists, but mainly in the kingdom Protista as a whole.

If a person consumed a diet containing 2500 kcal, of which 35% came from protein, approximately how many grams of protein would
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

218.75 grams of protein.

Explanation:

If 2500 protein is consumed and its 35% energy is provided by protein then:

2500÷35×100 =875 kcal would be provided by protein.

As one gram of protein provide 4 kcal of energy:

875÷4 = 218.75 grams of potein would be consumed.

<em>Remeber the calories and kcal for food is same.</em>

The dicer enzyme processes dsRNA and forms siRNAs, which suppress the expression of target genes by cutting mRNA. 1) siRNA 2) RNA.

<h3>What are siRNA fragments?</h3>

siRNA means small interfering RNA. This is a silencing RNA molecule involved in the RNA interference mechanism, intervening in the expression of a specific gene.

siRNAs are complementary double-stranded RNA molecules composed of about 20-21 nucleotides. siRNA originates from a long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).

The dicer enzyme cuts dsRNA molecules and produces siRNA. siRNAs suppress the expression of target genes when cutting messenger RNA.

siRNAs suppress the expression of target genes by cutting the complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) into two halves. This is accomplished by the interaction of the siRNA with the RISC complex (RNA-induced silencing complex).

The two mRNA halves are later degraded by the cellular machinery, leading to the suppression of the gene expression.

siRNAs also participate in other pathways related to RNAi, such as in antiviral defense or in the chromatin structure organization.

RNA interference is a mechanism of eukaryotic gene regulation. In this mechanism, the enzyme dicer cuts dsRNA into smaller fragments called (1) siRNA, which form a complex with RISC and degrade specific (2) RNA.
