Answer:

The lower respiratory tract is essentially sterile because epithelium lining is the respiratory tract that covers the bottom respiratory tract sterile. It basically prevented the mucus accumulation in lungs. The macrophages is the immune system part that can digest or inhaled any harmful substances.

Connective tissue is the tissue of a living organism that does not directly correspond to the work of any organ or organ system, but plays an auxiliary role in all organs, accounting for 60-90% of their mass. Performs basic, protective and trophic functions. Connective tissue has three main components: cells, fibers, and ground substance. Connective tissue is classified into two subtypes: soft and specialized connective tissue. Its main functions are connecting function, keeping water balance, healing function, protection, and trophic function.

How many possible open reading frames (frames without stop codons) are there that extend through the following sequence? 5'... C

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

There are 4 reading frames without stop codons.

Explanation:

1) To find the possible reading frames you need to separate your sequence in codons (trios) for the 5'-> 3' sense, first, excluding the first nucleotide, then excluding 2 nucleotides and then not excluding nucleotides.

5'... C TTA CAG TTT ATT GAT ACG GAG AAG G... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CT TAC AGT TTA TTG ATA CGG AGA AGG... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CTT ACA GTT TAT TGA TAC GGA GAA GG... 3'

2)Then you find the complementary sequence (which you already have)

3'... GAA TGT CAA ATA ACT ATG CCT CTT CC... 5'

3'... GA ATG TCA AAT AAC TAT GCC TCT TCC... 5'

3'... G AAT GTC AAA TAA CTA TGC CTC TTC C... 5'

3) Next, you have to obtain the reverse complementary

CCT TCT CCG TAT CAA TAA ACT GTA AG NO STOP CODON

CC TTC TCC GTA TCA ATA AAC TGT AAG NO STOP CODON

C CTT CTC CGT ATC AAT AAA CTG TAA G

4)Now you need to find start (AGT in terms of DNA) and stop codons(TAA, TAG, TGA, also in terms of DNA), in 5->3 and de reverse complementary.

As you can see, you have for open reading frames that lack of stop codon, unfortunately, they also lack of AGT, the start codon.

I added a table where you can find thestart and stop codons as well as the proteins that they translate to in terms of RNA.

I hope you find this information interesting and useful, good luck!

Why does the plant have to convert the glucose it makes in photosynthesis into starch

katrin2010 [14]

Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves. They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose. The glucose is used in respiration, or converted into starch and stored. Oxygen is produced as a by-product.
