However, he often sees trash left near the lake, such as plastic bags floating near the shore.

allsm [11]

Answer:

Protein B has a higher affinity for ligand C than protein A

Explanation:

Binding affinity is a measure of the strength of the bonds or interactions between a single biomolecule or receptor to its ligand. A ligand is usually a small molecule that binds to a specific receptor.

The receptor is usually a large molecule that contains a specific site for the binding of ligand.

Binding affinity is usually measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). The equilibrium dissociation constant KD is a ratio of the dissociation and the association of ligand to the receptor. The value of KD is used to evaluate and compare the strengths of bimolecular interactions.  The larger the KD value, the more weakly the target molecule and ligand are attracted to and bind to one another.

The higher the dissociation constant (KD), the weaker the affinity is between the interacting molecules, whereas, the smaller the KD value, the greater the binding affinity of the ligand for its target.

Protein B has a KD value of 10⁻⁹ M while Protein A has a KD of 10⁻⁶ M.

Ration of KD of protein B to protein A = 10⁻⁹ M/10⁻⁶ M = 10⁻³

Therefore, protein B has a KD value which is 1000 times smaller than the KD of protein A.

58:57 What would most likely happen to life on Earth if the carbon cycle stopped? Life would continue unchanged. Life would ceas
Naddik [55]

Answer: Life would cease to exist.

Explanation:

The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.

Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.

Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:

--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.

--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes

--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.

All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.
