The Circumstance- PAcific Belt is also known as Ring of Fire, Circum- Pacific Belt or Pacific Ring of fire.
It is called this way because the term" fire" is associated with volcanos and "ring" because of its length.
This is the area in the basin of the Pacific ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic activity happen. The belt follows a chain of islands like the Philipines, Japan, etc.
Answer:
Parotid glands are the largest salivary gland. Each gland is approximately 6 cm long and 3-4 cm wide and can weigh up to 30 grams. They are located within each of our cheeks. In our oral cavity they are responsible for the secretion of about 20% of saliva. This saliva is known as serous i.e. more liquid and fluid. It helps in the first phase of the digestion of food, facilitate mastication "chewing". These glands secrete protein-rich fluid which is a suspension of alpha-amylase enzyme.
Answer:
In human vision, the cone visual opsins are grouped into four photoreceptor protein families LWS, SWS1, SWS2, RH2
.
- SWS1: produce pigments sensitive to very short wavelengths, UV-violet, 360-450 nm.
- SWS2: produce pigments sensitive to short wavelengths, blue, 450-495 nm
- RH2: produce pigments sensitive to medium wavelengths, green, 495-560 nm
- LWS: produce pigments sensitive to long wavelengths, yellow-red, 560-770nm.
Explanation:
Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins that mediate light-induced signal transduction, thus they are involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms.
The photoreceptor proteins are classified based on the chemical structure of the chromophores involved, the light absorption and on the protein sequence.
This photoreceptor proteins are located at the cone photoreceptor cells and are responsible of photopic vision.
For scotopic vision, rhodopsin is responsible. Rhodopsins are the visual pigments (visual purple) of the rod photoreceptor cell in the retina. They are responsible of human vision in dim light, as it contains a sensory protein that converts light into an electric signal.
Answer:
A. Rifampicin is an example of an enzyme inhibiting drug, since it acts on the bacterial RNA polymerase, preventing the transcription and synthesis of proteins, so the bacteria is not viable and a human disease is controlled.
B. The drugs have specificity by microorganisms —target organisms— which are also smaller and more susceptible, while their effect is minimal or null in human cells and are not poisonous for them.
Explanation:
Bacteria, viruses, parasites and pathogenic fungi are microorganisms capable of producing disease in humans. One of the ways to fight infectious diseases is the use of drugs called antibiotics, capable of interfering with the development of microorganisms.
<u>Antibiotics or antibacterials are capable of preventing the synthesis of the bacterial wall or its reproduction, intervening in the synthesis of proteins</u>. They do this through enzymatic inhibition of these processes.
- Rifampicin is a drug capable of coupling itself to one of the sub-units of the RNA polymerase enzyme, changing its configuration and preventing its affinity for its substrate, the bacterial DNA. Rifampicin thus prevents the synthesis of proteins necessary for the development of the bacterium, which dies and thus manages to control an infectious disease.
- Drugs such as antibiotics act on specific bacterial functions —their target organism— by affecting the functions that allow them to live that allow them to live, as if they were poisoned. These same <u>drugs have little or no effect on human cells when administered in appropriate doses</u>. The few effects that are observed in human cells are not sufficient to kill them, but they do produce effects or secondary reactions, usually called adverse effects.
