Answer:

Fe2+ atom has a larger size than Fe3+.

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is important for the production of the ATP molecule. The oxygen molecule acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

The size of the cation is always small as compared with the parental atoms. Two electrons are removed from Fe2+ and three electrons are removed from  Fe3+. This removal of electron increases the attraction force between the electron of the outermost shell and the nucleus and decreases the repulsion force between the electrons and thus decreases in size.

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases).  This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes  condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.
