What are biological proteins that lower the activation energy for chemical reactions?

These proteins are called enzymes. They are very shape specific and therefore will usually lower the activation energy for a specific reaction.

Many bedbugs are highly resistant to insecticides, but the scientist’s bedbugs aren’t resistant. Explain why this happens based
Nutka1998 [239]

Wild Bedbugs become insecticide resistant because of the mutations and natural selections.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

As the huge amount of pesticides and insecticides are sprayed in the rooms for cleaning, the pests and insects like bedbugs dies in huge portions because of the toxin. But some of the bedbugs remain alive as they have mutations that help them to detoxify the toxins given, or bypass the metabolic processes so that the toxins don't hamper them much.

Now as the population becomes very small(bottle neck effect), the nature selects these organisms over the other to propagate more sufficiently and enormously. As the nutrients and supplies are also available, so the bedbugs don't suffer any lack of nutrition which can be a determining factor of their population.

Thus the wild bedbugs become resistant to insecticides while the experimental one remain succeptible to insecticides.

What two processes must take place in order to go from a gene to a protein?
yanalaym [24]

Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce other molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.

During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus. Both RNA and DNA are made up of a chain of nucleotide bases, but they have slightly different chemical properties. The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm. The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases. Each sequence of three bases, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.) A type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time. Protein assembly continues until the ribosome encounters a “stop” codon (a sequence of three bases that does not code for an amino acid).

The flow of information from DNA to RNA to proteins is one of the fundamental principles of molecular biology. It is so important that it is sometimes called the “central dogma.”

Through the processes of transcription and translation, information from genes is used to make proteins.

Which particles are located<br> in the nucleus?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Protons \ and \ neutrons }}

Explanation:

In an atom, there is a dense center known as the nucleus. It is made up of two subatomic particles: <u>protons</u> and <u>neutrons</u>. The protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge, so overall the nucleus is positively charged.

The third subatomic particles, negatively charged electrons, are located around the nucleus in a cloud.

The particles in the nucleus are \tt protons \ and \ neutrons.
