Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.
Latitude influences your weather by determining which type of weather systems will cross the area and how frequently, elevation influences your weather because higher elevations have lower air pressure than lower elevations, thus allowing the air to be colder on average. Local geography influences your weather due to different areas being nearby mountain ranges, bodies of water, and other things that can create or dissimilate different weather systems.
Answer:
B. the action of microRNAs that block translation of specific mRNA molecule
C. the action of RNA–protein complexes that degrade the regulatory proteins responsible for initiating transcription.
Explanation:
RNA interference occurs what RNA prevent the translation of some gene this is done by neutralizing target mRNA molecule. It suppresses the effects of some desires genes through its action.
MicroRNA and small interfering RNA (miRNA and siRNA) are the major RNA that controls interference. siRNA and miRNA prevent translation by directing some enzmes complexes to denature the mRNA molecule needed for translation. They intiate post transcriptional splicing.
RNA interference is found in eukaryote and some animals and its initiated by enzyme Dicer that inhibits translation by degrading the enzymes action.
