A web of proteins in the cytoplasm is known as what?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>The cytoskeleton is a structure found in the cytoplasm that is composed of a web of proteins. It is a network composed of protein microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. They can be found in all living organisms and are responsible for giving them their distinct cell shapes and coherence.

Aside from providing the cell shape, the cytoskeleton is also responsible for cell movement, organelle movement, and cell division.</span> <span>It plays a crucial role in cell division because they provide the movement of chromosomes to the daughter nucleus. The absence of these protein filaments would result to different abnormalities and diseases in the genes. </span>

What are proteins for collagen?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and arginine — all of which help our body's connective tissue, skin, hair and nails stay as healthy as possible.** As we age, and the more stress we put on our body, the greater the impact on collagen production.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Symbiosis is an interaction characterized by two or more species living purposefully in direct contact with each other. The term "symbiosis" includes a broad range of species interactions but typically refers to three major types: mutualism, commensalism and parasitism.

Investigator Benton uses several methods to analyze hair samples found at the crime scene. He examines the physical features of

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Medulla.

By analyzing the DNA extracted from the hair follicle, the medullary index and the pattern of medulla in the hair samples obtained from a crime scene, an investigator can identify the owner.

Explanation:

The hair consists of follicle and shaft. The follicle is the part of the skin, where the hair grows and the hair shaft has three layers: an inner medulla, a cortex, and an outer cuticle.

The morphology (physical characteristics) of hair provides a broad detail on the racial background of an individual and an investigator can identify a group of people who share similar traits. But the hair without follicle cells attached to it, cannot be used to identify a specific individual. If the follicle of a hair is present, then it can lead to individual identification by DNA analysis. Also the medulla of animals is larger than that in the humans. By comparing the medullary index (the ratio of the diameter of the medulla to the diameter of the entire hair), it can be determined if the hair obtained from crime scene belongs to animals or humans. The macroscopic (length, color, and curliness) and microscopic characteristics ( pattern of the medulla, pigmentation of the cortex, and types of scales on the cuticle) of the hair samples are studied during a crime investigation. If the entire hair follicle (follicular tag) is present in the hair samples found at the crime scene, the blood and tissue attached to the follicle is extracted and analyzed using DNA profiling. DNA analysis of the hair follicle provides an identification with greater accuracy than the hair shaft.
