Answer:

The purpose of the structure of a spirillum is to obtain more flexibility, which will facilitate its movement.

Explanation:

Spirillum bacteria are a phylum, the Spirochaetes. And its name is probably because of the spiral shape its body structure has. Due to this body structure, these bacteria have greater flexibility and can move with greater ease and agility. The movement they perform is circulatory wave (usually around the body itself).

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

c. A to K

Explanation:

If the alanine mutation is restored to K or lysine residue, most likely the wild type level of activity can be restored. This is because, arginine and lysine have -NH2 as the functional group. So, functional similarity of arginine can be expected from lysine as well.

Hence the correct option is c that is A to K.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.
