Answer:

Tertiary structure.

Explanation:

The G protein coupled receptor gets activated and deactivated whether they bound to GTP to GDP. This coupling is important for the initiation of signalling cascades in the cells.

The hydrolysis of GTP to GDP is carried out by the enzyme GTPase. This causes the change in the tertiary structure of protein. The different subunits of G protein gets change due to the hydrolysis. This changes the tertiary structure of the protein and any change in the primary structure of protein is not reversible.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

HELP??? How is convection in the mantle different from convection in the ocean?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Ocean currents result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement- a process known as convection.Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. ... This subducted material sinks through the Earth's interior.
