Answer:
Protein B has a higher affinity for ligand C than protein A
Explanation:
Binding affinity is a measure of the strength of the bonds or interactions between a single biomolecule or receptor to its ligand. A ligand is usually a small molecule that binds to a specific receptor.
The receptor is usually a large molecule that contains a specific site for the binding of ligand.
Binding affinity is usually measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). The equilibrium dissociation constant KD is a ratio of the dissociation and the association of ligand to the receptor. The value of KD is used to evaluate and compare the strengths of bimolecular interactions. The larger the KD value, the more weakly the target molecule and ligand are attracted to and bind to one another.
The higher the dissociation constant (KD), the weaker the affinity is between the interacting molecules, whereas, the smaller the KD value, the greater the binding affinity of the ligand for its target.
Protein B has a KD value of 10⁻⁹ M while Protein A has a KD of 10⁻⁶ M.
Ration of KD of protein B to protein A = 10⁻⁹ M/10⁻⁶ M = 10⁻³
Therefore, protein B has a KD value which is 1000 times smaller than the KD of protein A.
Answer:
Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in
a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in the attached PDF.
Explanation:
A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution, a process called cytolysis. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis.

The function performed in F is that,it mixes the food thoroughly with more digestive juices.
The function performed in M is that ,it allows the control of stool.
The best answer is C
The process by which a cell divides is called mitosis. It results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell.
Multicellular organisms, depend on mitosis for growth and repair. Organisms repair some of their tissues using mitosis to regenerate new cells. Not all cells undergo mitosis at the same rate. In man, brain cells are much more difficult to regenerate than cheek cells which are constantly being replaced.
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. There are three different states of matter- solid, liquid, and gas.
