<span>The role of the negative feedback loop is,

that the output is being reduced so that the body can maintain homeostasis.

The negative feedback loop is a homeostatic control mechanism through which levels of hormones are maintained within a narrow range by feeding the product back to decrease its production.</span>

Answer:

The output is reduced so the body can maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

Our body tends to maintain a stable state under all conditions by utilizing the various physiological processes and this maintenance of stability is termed as homeostasis.

Negative feedback loop is one of the ways through which the body can maintain its homeostaiss.

This loop is regulated by itself and it functions to decrease the output when it increases to a greater level by inhibiting its production from the source.

For example, if the levels of the pituitary hormones increases then the negative feedback loop will signal the pituitary to inhibit the production of the hormone and this negative feedback will be provided by the increased product itself.

A protein biochemist attempted to determine the amino acid sequence of a decapeptide. Use the results from the trypsin, chymotry

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The possible sequence of the decapeptide is Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.

Explanation:

The cyanogen bromide cleaves the carboxyl end of Met (methionine and non-peptide). Trypsin cleaves on the C-terminal of Arg and Lys, however, not on the N-terminal of Pro, which signifies that Lys is the last amino acid in T2. Hence, Met-Val-Lys----. The middle part of the sequence can be predicted from the digestion done by chymotrypsin.

The chymotrypsin cleaves on the C terminal of Phe, Trp, Tyr, however, not on the N side of Pro. CT3 exhibit Lys, Met, Tyr, Val, as Met-Val and Tyr are the initial three amino acids, therefore, Tyr must be the fourth one. Now the sequence will be Met-Val-Lys-Tyr...

CT1 possesses Ala, Arg, Phe, Pro, as chymotrypsin cleaves the C side of the Phe, thus, the last amino acid should be Phe. Also, CT1 has Ala as the first amino acid. Also, trypsin does not cleave on the N-end of Pro. Thus, the sequence of CT1 strands will be Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.

In CT2, chymotrypsin cleaves on the C-side of trp. Thus, the sequence of CT2 strands as Thr-Trp is found in the middle. Thus, the whole sequence of the decapeptide strand will be:

Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.

The quantity of each type of organelle in a cell varies depending on the tasks the individual cell must perform. If a scientist

tester [92]

The correct answer is option C. A leaf growing in full sunlight

The chloroplast is an organelle, which helps the plants to carry out the process of the photosynthesis. The leaves are the main site of the photosynthesis in the plants, hence, they have an abundant number of chloroplasts present in the cells. In the presence of the sunlight, they perform the light dependent reactions of the photosynthesis process. In case, a scientist find out the cell, which have a high number of chloroplast, then the cell must be specialised to perform photosynthesis, hence, the cell would belong to the leaves, which are growing in full sunlight.
