Answer:

The most correct answer would be "all individuals exposed to cold temperatures".

Explanation:

Body fat can be divided into white fat and brown fat.  

White fat cells (adipocytes) have a <u>single lipid droplet</u> and this fat is a result of an excess of calories. White fat, when storage around abdominal area, increases cardiovascular risk. Therefore, an <em>obese person has a great proportion of this type of fat. </em>

On the other hand, brown fat has <u>many lipid droplets</u> and <u>mitochondria full of iron</u>, which give its brown color. Brown fat is useful to generate heat, it does so by burning calories. This type of fat can usually be found in adults in the back of the neck and above the collarbone and its amount <em>decreases with age.  </em>

This is a DNA mutation that does not result in a change to the amino acid sequence of a protein.
ohaa [14]

Answer: silence point

A silent point mutation may be an effect of a base-pair substitution (substitution of one base pair with another in DNA). However, silent point mutations are a special case where no amino acids are affected. As a result, since the monomers of proteins are amino acids, there is no change to the sequence of a protein.

You are researching a cytoplasmic protein associated with a nerve disorder. The native form of the enzyme appears to be globular
kherson [118]

Answer:

This signifies that the protein primarily comprises multiple polypeptide chains connected together with the help of disulfide bonds. The enzymes may be found in the form of dimers, trimers, or tetramers. Various examples of dimers, trimers, and tetramer proteins are known, of them, NEMOs dimers are considered to be held by disulfide bonds.  

Thus, it can be hypothesized that the enzyme under examination is a multimer held in combination by disulfide bonds, with each comprising catalytic sites. On breaking of disulfide bonds, the enzyme dissociates into its many single units.  

This illustrates the reduction in catalytic activity. Each active site in a single unit will work, however, at a gradual rate. This also shows detection of multiple globular proteins after disulfide reduction.
