The PCD is an abbreviation used for the primary cilia diskinesia disease. This condition result in the reduced motility of the cilia.  

In respiratory tract, the cilia help the mucus to flow above the respiratory tract. In case, the cilia is damaged, or it is not able to move, then the mucus cannot move out of the respiratory tract  and cause many respiratory abnormalities, such as congestion, infection, bronchitis, cough, short of breath, ear infections etc.

What are characteristics of allosteric enzymes?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

(B) They may have binding sites for regulatory molecules that are separate from active sites.

(C) They generally have more than one subunit.

(E) They interconvert between a more active form and a less active form.

Explanation:

Allosteric enzymes are the regulatory enzymes that have a specific site for binding of modulator or effector molecule. The activity of these enzymes is altered by the noncovalent binding of modulators at the allosteric site. The binding of the modulator brings about a conformational change in the allosteric enzymes.

The relatively inactive conformation of these enzymes is called T state while the active conformation is the R state. Most of the allosteric enzymes have multiple subunits and deviate from Michaelis–Menten kinetics and exhibit a sigmoid saturation curve of V0 vs. [S].

Which structure makes proteins using coded instructions that come from the nucleus?
Gelneren [198K]
<span>Fundamentally, the cell would cease to function and possibly die. Proteins are used for cellular repairing and chemical processes. Ribosomes are one of the most important organelles in the cell, mostly part of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It manufactures enzymes such as proteins which will be utilized by many organelles in the cell. Microtubules are one, responsible for the framework and acts as a skeleton of the cell –cytoskeleton needs proteins, also cytoplasm and other organelles of the cell. For a prokaryote or a eukaryote cell to survive, they need protein.<span>
