irga5000 [103]

Antibodies are located in human body,and they are giant protein molecules.

<h3>What are antibodies?</h3>

Antibodies are protein molecules, they are large and are used by the immune system to identify objects that are foreign such as harmful microrganism.

They can also destroy the effect of this foreign body by identifying the pathogens antigens.

Therefore, antibodies are giant protein molecules.

Please help its due in a hour!!!!!

Answer:

1. The difference between the normal hemoglobin protein DNA sequence and the sickle cell hemoglobin DNA sequence is a base to base shift, in this case adenine (GAG) to thymine (GTG).

2. The difference affects the amino acid sequence of the protein by replacing glutamic acid (Glu) with valine (Val).

Explanation:

In sickle cell anemia, a change in the DNA nucleotide sequence is observed, where adenine is substituted by thymine, whose expression is the change in the amino acid sequence of globine β, incorporating valine instead of glutamic acid. This represents a molecular mutation - point mutation - by subtitution, which corresponds to missense mutation.

<u>Normal hemoglobin protein in a RBC</u>

DNA                 CTG ACT CCT GAG GAG AAG TCT

Amino acids     Leu  Thr   Pro   Glu   Glu   Lys   Ser

<u>Sickle cell hemoglobin protein in a RBC</u>

DNA                 CTG ACT CCT <em>GTG</em> GAG AAG TCT

Amino acids     Leu  Thr   Pro   <em>Val</em>   Glu   Lys   Ser

When GAG is transcribed to mRNA, the CUC codon is obtained, which codes for glutamic acid. Thymine substitution causes the DNA sequence to change to GTG, which is transcribed as CAC, the codon that encodes the amino acid valine. The <u>change from glutamic acid to valine in β-globin causes an altered hemoglobin, giving the abnormal erythrocytes observed in sickle cell disease</u>.

Think about a carbon atom that is released into the atmosphere from burning wood in a campfire. If it were to go through the who
Anna35 [415]

The correct order would be:

1. A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis;

2. A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves.

3. A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar.

4. The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.

5. The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere.

The carbon cycle is very similar to the water cycle, though it has its own unique ways. Once the carbon is released into the atmosphere, it will either be absorbed by the vegetation, or go up into the higher parts of the atmosphere. If it is absorbed by the vegetation, the organisms that eat the vegetation will get it in them. When the predators eat those organism they get the carbon into their organisms. When the predators die, they start to decompose. When they decompose, the carbon is released from them and it returns to the atmosphere, and the whole process goes all over again.
