Biology

Vladimir [108]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

At the base of the oxyntic gland, in addition to the parietal cells, the chief cells (peptic cells) are located, mainly in the lower half of the gastric glands, these cells have large basophilic zymogen granules, more prominent in the apical region and responsible of the secretion of pepsinogen proteolytic enzymes, a relatively constant fraction of pepsinogen I released by the chief cells is absorbed by the blood instead of passing into the gastric lumen. The stomach acid transforms pepsinogen into pepsin, which breaks down proteins in food during digestion.

Therefore, specialists will refer to species that have very specific resource requirement

Whereas those that have broad niches(able to use wide array of resources) are known as Generalists.

What is the product of the psbc gene? what is its function?
Annette [7]
The structure of the rye chloroplast DNA, which contains psbC gene coding for 43-kDa chlorophyll(a)-binding subunit of photosystem II, is determined. The sequence of trnS (UGA) gene encoding tRNA Ser is located at a distance of 140 bp downstream from the stop codon of psbC gene on the opposite DNA strand. The 5'-terminal part of psbC gene, like in other plants, overlaps by 50 bp the 3'-terminal region of psbD gene coding for D2 protein of photosystem II. The amino acid sequence of the psbC gene product reveals common features with the structure of the psbB gene product (CPa-1 protein). The structural similarity of these two proteins seems to reflect their similar functions.

Why do we group artworks with similar characteristics into periods or styles?
fgiga [73]
We group artworks with similar characteristics into periods or styles because it is easiest to do it that way - this way we can find common characteristics in these literary/artistic eras, and name them. For example, the Renaissance had a distinct style, which differs greatly from that of Romanticism.
