An antibody has been isolated that binds to F-actin but not to G-actin. What structural feature(s) of F-actin do you suppose the

antibody binds (i.e., how is the antibody able to distinguish between these two forms of actin)?

Answer:

F-actin is a double helical filament as opposed to G-actin,which is a globular protein .Each actin filament has two ends,called the plus and

the minus ends, which makes it recognizable from each other.This gives the structure a distinct polarity.

Explanation:

Actin is the most abundant protein that is found in almost all eukaryotic cells.Its a most important part cytoskeleton as its a monomeric subunits(size 42kDa) of two types of filaments i.e. microfilaments and thin filaments in cells. Actin is essentially required to maintain stability and morphogenesis of cell.It is involved in numerous significant processes such as endocytosis,cell division and migration.Actin is present in two forms:

•G-actin

•F-actin

The two forms of actin are different structurally.

G- actin is a globular shaped protein,usually present in free form(a monomer),having a tight binding site for another actin monomer.Each monomer has ATP. Upon polymerization of G-actin monomers, a polymer called F-actin filaments is form. This process is driven by hydrolysis of ATP.

Which of these ideas correctly states a relationship between the practice of conserving energy and the effect that it has on peo
Bess [88]

The idea that correctly states a relationship between the practice of conserving energy and the effect that it has on people's health is: Energy conservation promotes less air conditioner use and warmer homes (option B).

<h3>How is energy conserved?</h3>

To conserve means to use judiciously or wisely, therefore, energy conservation refers to the effort made to reduce the consumption of energy by using less of an energy service.

The conservation of energy helps to reduce workload on mechanical devices such as air conditioner, cooker etc.

Therefore, the idea that correctly states a relationship between the practice of conserving energy and the effect that it has on people's health is: Energy conservation promotes less air conditioner use and warmer homes.

Which type of mountain is formed by vertical pressure? Which type is formed by the upward thrusts of Earth's crust?
Triss [41]
Fault-block mountains form when Earth's crust pushes material up and down near a fault line.<span> Rocks that get pushed upward eventually form mountains if there is enough seismic activity. The higher part of a fault-block area is called a horst, while the lower part is called a graben, according to Ducksters.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

It goes to the plants or the predators that ate the organisms

Explanation:

Decomposers will break down carcasses into nutrients and provide nutrients for plants in the form of dirt

However if the organism is killed by a predator, the predator will then receive their share of energy by eating the organism.
