Hey, there!!

There is no place for virus, virions, prions in kungdom classification. The reason is they show both living and non living characters, which don't define them whether they are living beings or non living things.

As in 5 kingdoms, the only living organisms are classified.

Kingdom Monera mostly deals with the organism which contains prokaryotic cells.
Kingdom Protista deals with the organism which have eukaryotic cells.
Kingdom Fungi deals with various fungal organism.
Kingdom Plantae deals with various type of plants.
Kingdom Animalia deals with various type of animals.

So, you can see that there is non of the kingdoms which deals with the organism which have similar characteristics like viruses, virions and prions.

Hope it helps...

Why is it important to have MET at the beginning of mRNA?

astra-53 [7]

The Beginning of mRNA Is Not Translated
Interestingly, not all regions of an mRNA molecule correspond to particular amino acids. In particular, there is an area near the 5' end of the molecule that is known as the untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence. This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein (Figure 3).

So, what is the purpose of the UTR? It turns out that the leader sequence is important because it contains a ribosome-binding site. In bacteria, this site is known as the Shine-Dalgarno box (AGGAGG), after scientists John Shine and Lynn Dalgarno, who first characterized it. A similar site in vertebrates was characterized by Marilyn Kozak and is thus known as the Kozak box. In bacterial mRNA, the 5' UTR is normally short; in human mRNA, the median length of the 5' UTR is about 170 nucleotides. If the leader is long, it may contain regulatory sequences, including binding sites for proteins, that can affect the stability of the mRNA or the efficiency of its translation.

What is the molecule in this image?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Protein.

Explanation:

In the image above, we see a molecule that is made up of several amino acids. The molecule that is made up of amino acids is protein.

Proteins are the most abundant organic macromolecules in cells, fundamental to cell structure and function. They are found in all cell types and viruses.

They are formed by amino acids linked together and joined by peptide bonds, as shown in the image above.

Of extremely high molecular weight, proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, practically all of them have sulfur. Elements such as iron, zinc and copper may also be present.

All proteins are made up of a set of 20 amino acids, arranged in varying specific sequences.

Learning objective: 12.08.05 describe the initiation and propagation of depolarization and repolarization.

denis-greek [22]

Depolarization is initiated when there is an influx of sodium inside the cell as opposed to repolarization, where potassium exits the cell (occurring after Na+ gates close). Remember that for every 3 Na+ in, there is 2 K+ out. This imbalance helps to stabilize the membrane.

Imagine a microbial cell that normally carries out aerobic respiration has encountered a low oxygen environment and may die if t

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a. Oxygen performs an essential role in the mentioned microbial cell in a manner that it takes part in the procedure of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain, which eventually assists in the production of energy from food substrates and this generation of energy helps the cell to survive.

In the existence of oxygen, sugar gets dissociated through glycolysis to generate pyruvate, which again in the existence of oxygen is transformed into acetyl CoA. This moves into the Krebs cycle and gets dissociated to water and carbon dioxide generating ATP through ETC. This generation of ATP helps the cell to survive.

In low oxygen surrounding or in the absence of oxygen, some of the aerobic microbes can switch their respiratory pathway and carry on the process of fermentation and anaerobic respiration to produce energy and thrive. However, the mentioned microbial cell, which when it comes in contact with the low oxygen environment cannot carry out fermentation process and would die eventually.

b. This organism can be classified as obligate aerobes as they always need oxygen and do not possess the tendency to carry out the process of anaerobic respiration or fermentation under the absence of oxygenic environment.

Why is there a delay between the ecg pattern and the resulting beat of the heart?

Rama09 [41]

There would be a delay between the ECG pattern and the resulting beat of the heart because it takes time for the pulse to travel from the systole (ventricular contraction) to the radial artery. Pulse cannot be felt in the finger. It can be felt with a pulse oxymeter.
