what is the meaning of phosphoryl transfer potential and what does it mean to have a high or low phosphoryl transfer potential?

Phosphoryl-transfer potential is the ability of an organic molecule to transfer its terminal phosphoryl group to water which is an acceptor molecule. It is the “standard free energy of hydrolysis”.

Explanation:

This potential plays a key role during cellular energy transformation by energy coupling during ATP hydrolysis.  

A compound with a high phosphoryl-transfer potential has the increased ability to couple the carbon oxidation with ATP synthesis and can accelerate cellular energy transformation.  

A compound with a high phosphoryl-transfer potential can readily donate its terminal phosphate group; whereas, a compound with a low has a lesser ability to donate its phosphate group.

ATP molecules have a high phosphoryl transfer potential due to its structure, resonance stabilization, high entropy, electrostatic repulsion and stabilization by hydration. Compounds like creatine phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate also have high phosphoryl-transfer potential.

What are the two main differences between capillaries in the periphery and capillaries surrounding the brain
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The options are not given but they are gotten from another websites.

A. Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

B. Capillaries surrounding the brain have pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

C. Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are not surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

D. Capillaries surrounding the brain have pores and are not surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

The correct answer is option A.

Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

Explanation:

Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells because

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels in the circulatory system that connect aterioles to venules. They are the most abundant or they are much blood vessels. They can penetrate the tissues of the body which allow passage of food nutrients, oxygen in the body thereby allowing exchange of nutrients and oxygen between the body tissues and the blood.

Capillaries surrounding the brain have no pores and are surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells while capillaries in the periphery Capillaries surrounding the brain have pores and are not surrounded by membranes of astrocyte cells.

Describe structural changes that can occur to a protein after translation is make it function properly
AVprozaik [17]
The structural variations that can happen in a protein after translation to make it function appropriately are:

• Folding – In the cytoplasm it partakes chaperonin protein that will aid to fold the protein into a purposeful shape. The hydrogen bonds will form to create secondary protein and disulfide bonds will form tertiary structure and hydrogen bonds. 

• Cleavage – The activation into a purposeful protein over cleavage of certain amino acid sequences in which the amino acid order can fold to form the secondary or tertiary structure.

• Chemical Modification – A method of chemically responding a protein or nucleic acid with chemical components. 

• Elaboration – In particulars of folding, chaperones, kinds of bonds, the role of Golgi, combination into current molecular arrays. Etc.
