A ligand can bind to two receptors, A and B. The Kd for receptor A is 0.001 nM and the Kd for receptor B is 1 nM. Based on the e

quation below, if the ligand concentration is 0.1 nM, which receptor will have the highest percentage bound to a ligand?
Biology
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is: Receptor A because the ligand concentration is greater than the Kd.

Explanation:

Receptor A because the ligand concentration is greater than the Kd., because the conformation of a receptor protein composes the functional state. Ligands include substrates, inhibitors, activators, and neurotransmitters. So, Affinity is a measure of the strength of attraction between a receptor and its ligand.

imagine a cell-surface receptor protein is being newly synthesized. How can it get into the membrane that it will ultimately be
motikmotik

Answer:

the steps for a new receptor synthesis:

Explanation:

Do not forget the steps vary from an eukarityc cell to prokarityc one.  

IN AN EUKARYOTIC CELL:

1- Transcription: in the nucleus, mRNA is synthesized from the DNA sequence that codifies the protein. Exons are spliced if needed by spliceosomes.  

2- From nucleus into cytoplasm: mRNA goes through nuclear membrane into the cytoplasm were ribosomes, substrates for protein synthesis and other organelles are.

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)  

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- (The mRNA has a signal that is recognized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum) The peptide goes into this reticulum (RER) and then into Golgi apparatus. (more chemical modifications are made if needed). By this moment the protein has an inserted portion in a lipid membrane.

6- The protein is transported in a vessel that finally fusions with cytoplasmic membrane and the receptor is in destiny. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

IN A PROKARYTIC CELL:

1- Transcription (no splicing is needed, there are not exons)

2- There are not nucleus and cytoplasm divided (no transport)

3- Ribosomes recognize a signal in mRNA and start reading the genetic code, three consecutive nucleotides at a time and adjust the correspondent tRNAs (tRNAs carry the aminoacids)

4- Peptide bonds are formed between consecutives aminoacids, and a polypeptide is build up according to the mRNA sequence.

5- The mRNA has a signal that is guides the growing protein to cellular membrane. Hydrophobic aminoacid sequences are inserted in membrane.

Describe the three main properties of a population​
Tamiku [17]

Population refers to an array of organisms of the similar species, which thrives in a particular geographical region and interbreed. The three main characteristics of a population are density, size, and dispersion.  

The density signifies towards how many organisms are thriving in a specific region. The size refers to how big a population is, and dispersion signifies towards the degree of spreading of the particular population.

Gorter and grendel extracted lipids from human red blood cells. they calculated the total surface area for these red blood cells
Anastaziya [24]
<span>The calculated to surface area for red blood cells by Gorter and Grendel found to be 36u2.

 The surface area that would be covered once they spread across the surface of the water is 72u2.

If they spread across the surface area will double. This is because the lipid bilayer with phospholipid the head faces the water on each surface of the membrane.
 It clearly shows that there must be more to membranes than lipid bilayer because membranes grew and the surface tension of membranes is much lower than those of pure lipid structures.</span>

When pollen moves from the stamen of a flower on one plant to the pistil of the flower of a different plant this is called what?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Its pollination

Explanation: The process by which pollen is delivered to the ovule of a gymnosperm or the stigma of an angiosperm. And a pollinator is an organism or other agents such as wind or water that transfers pollen from one plant to another; most commonly applied to organisms. hope this helps!
