What would likely happen to a cell treated with a compound that causes lysis (breakage) of peroxisomal membranes? Ca++ would lea

k out and trigger exocytosis. Proteins would leak out and fail to be secreted. Probably not much, because peroxisomes have pores in their membranes anyway. Proteins in the cytoplasm would be damaged from the release of compounds damaging to the cell.

Answer:

The correct answer is: Proteins in the cytoplasm would be damaged from the release of compounds damaging to the cell.

Explanation:

  • Peroxisome is an organelle that remains enclosed in a single membrane, made up of a lipid bilayer.
  • Eukaryotic cells possess them.
  • They produce and store a large number of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species like, hydrogen peroxide, super-oxide radical and nitrogen oxide radical.
  • These are necessary for catabolising or breaking down fatty acid molecules having long carbon chains by the process of beta oxidation.
  • They also contain enzymes that catalyse oxidation reactions, like D-amino acid oxidase, catalase and uric acid oxidase.
  • Rupture of the peroxisomal membrane will cause the release of these oxidative enzymes and oxidative radicals into the cytoplasm.
  • This will cause the oxidation of amino acids in the proteins resulting in the protein to get denatured, damaged and non-functional.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. the two strands of DNA must separate.

Explanation:

DNA is a double-stranded structure. The two strands are joined together by the formation of hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides. So before the replication takes place these two strands must be separated.

The separation of DNA strand is accomplished by the action of a helicase enzyme which breaks the hydrogen bond between complementary nucleotides and separated the two DNA strands.  

After separation, the DNA polymerase binds to separated DNA and replicating the DNA. So the right answer is B.

How is the cell structure related to its function in your body
Nastasia [14]

<span>A cell with a large surface area or with microvilli (which increase surface area) are specialized for absorption. Many cells have different protein markers on their surface to accept certain specific hormones and allow them into the cell, like muscle cells reacting to adrenaline. Muscle cells are long and able to contract, allowing for overall muscle contraction and body movement. </span>

<span>I guess the hormone part I mentioned applies to chemicals; endocrine cells produce hormones that other cells would not. </span>

<span>For organelles, muscle cells don't have many of the organelles that other cells do because of their very specialized functions. </span>

<span>I hope this helps, it would literally take volumes of text books to answer this question completely.</span>

How does DNA affect genetics?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Over our lifetime, our DNA can undergo changes or mutations that result in differences in the DNA sequence and may affect the proteins that are made. Mutations can occur as a natural consequence of errors in DNA replication or as a result of exposure to environmental factors such as smoking, sunlight or radiation.
