Sort each of the following descriptions into the most appropriate bin based on whether it accurately describes a cofactor, a coe

nzyme, or a prosthetic group. (Not every answer may be used.)
- the heme group of catalase is an example of one of these

- a small molecule that an enzyme requires to function; can be amino-acid based, a metal, or an organic compound

- a metal, such as iron, that is not permanently associated with an enzyme may be an example of one of these

- a coenzyme that is permanently associated with an enzyme

- it is usually derived from vitamins

- a cofactor that has an organic component, but no amino acids

Answer:

(1) It is known as a prosthetic group as heme consist of a protoporphyrin ring and a central iron atom. A prosthetic group is a specific non-polypeptide unit which is required for some protein's biological function.

(2) Coenzyme.

(3) It is known as an example of a cofactor as it is not a permanent part of the enzyme.

(4) It is known as a prosthetic group as it is permanently attached to the enzyme.

(5) Coenzyme-A.

(6) Cofactor.

(7) Cofactor.

Which condition or statement exemplifies the concept of genomics rather than genetics?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A. The gene for insulin is located on chromosome 11 in all people.

Explanation:

Genomics includes the study of the content, organization, function and evolution of genetic information in a complete genome. The genomic term is relatively recent. It is considered that it was coined by Thomas Roderick, in 1986, to refer to the subdiscipline of genetics dedicated to the study of cartography, sequencing and analysis of the functions of complete genomes.

Insulin is formed as pre-proinsulin of the precursor protein. This is encoded by a 14kb series in the INS gene. In most animals including humans, a single gene for insulin is found. The human gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 11 at position 15.5 (11p15.5).

The insulin gene has recently been decoded in its complete form in genomic studies. The human and rat insulin genes have been reproduced and the DNA has been sorted. It has been shown that mouse and rat insulins are identical and have similar gene series and organization, which are similar in genetic series to humans.

Since beans contain the essential amino acid methionine, beans are considered complete protein sources.
Leni [432]
The above statement is false.
A complete protein is a source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of all nine essential amino acids necessary for the dietary needs of humans.
For example, meat, seafood, eggs and dairy are all complete proteins, while plant foods like beans, whole-grains and brown rice are incomplete proteins.

Examine the photographs of 16 species of anole lizards and sort them into as many groups as you want according to how they appea
n200080 [17]

Answer:

On the basis of physical appearance.

Explanation:

We grouped the lizards into various groups on the basis of similarities and differences in the body structure, appearance and colour etc. The legs of anole lizards are small legs with pads on their feet for gripping surfaces which give them the advantage to climb up the trees while on the other hand, these small legs can't help in the survival on the land because they can't run too fast from their predators with these short legs so these legs has benefit in climbing the tree but disadvantage in running on the land.

A total of _____ amino acids compose the majority of protein in living things and nine are _____ to human
Delicious77 [7]

Most proteins in living organisms are composed of 40 amino acid residues in total, and nine of those are crucial for human health.

Which majority of amino acids make up proteins in living things?

  • Only twenty different amino acids, each with a distinct side chain, make up proteins. Different chemistries can be found in the side chains of amino acids. The majority of amino acids contain side chains that are nonpolar.
  • There are nine essential amino acids:
  1. tryptophan
  2. valine
  3. isoleucine
  4. leucine
  5. lysine
  6. methionine
  7. phenylalanine
  8. threonine
  9. methionine

What Constitutes Proteins?

  • Amino acids are the basic units of proteins. They are tiny chemical compounds with an alpha (central) carbon coupled to an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, hydrogens, and a changeable element known as a side chain.
  • A protein is made up of a lengthy chain of amino acids that are connected by peptide bonds. The biological process that links the carboxyl unit of one amino acid towards the amino group of a nearby amino acid results in the extraction of a water molecule, forming peptide bonds. The main structure of a protein is thought to be its linear amino acid sequence.
