<h3><u> Full Question:</u> </h3>

After a search of nucleotide sequence databases, researchers identified an IRE in the 5' untranslated region of a gene encoding aconitase, an enzyme involved in the Krebs cycle. Which of the following pieces of experimental evidence best supports the claim that the synthesis of aconitase is controlled by a mechanism similar to ferritin regulation?  

(A) IRP binds to aconitase mRNA in the presence of iron.  

(B) The relative amount of aconitase protein increases in the presence of high levels of iron. NADH and FADH2, increase in the presence of high levels of iron.  

(C) Oxygen consumption by cells increases.

(D) The levels of reduced electron carriers.

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The relative amount of aconitase protein increases in the presence of high levels of iron. NADH and FADH2, increase in the presence of high levels of iron which best support the claims.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

Iron induced toxicity deals with the excess intracellular iron. The excess amount of iron are binded by Ferritin that is an intracellular iron storage. The cells are protected from the iron induced toxicity by the presence of ferritin.

When the iron levels are high, the intracellular iron binds to the IRP. The iron-IRP dislocates from IRE releasing ribosomes to proceed with the translation of ferritin mRNA. When iron levels are low, a repressor of translation, iron response protein (IRP), binds to an iron response element (IRE), which is a stem-loop structure near the 5' end of ferritin mRNA.

If a sample of DNA has 16% adenine(A) then what is the percent of guanine?
Anastasy [175]
39%. Adenine would have the same percentage as Thymine, meaning it would he 32% A and T and then subtract that from 100 giving you 72 divide that by 2 and you get part Guanine and part Cytosine.

What part of the respiratory tract is considered the respiratory zone?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D. Alveoli

Explanation:

Functionally, the respiratory system is separated into a conducting zone and respiratory zone:

Conducting zone consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. These structures form a continuous passageway for air to move in and out of the lungs.

Respiratory zone is found deep inside the lungs and is made up of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. These thin-walled structures allow inhaled oxygen (O2) to diffuse into the lung capillaries in exchange for carbon dioxide (CO2).

The respiratory zone begins where the terminal bronchioles join a respiratory bronchiole, the smallest type of bronchiole, which then leads to an alveolar duct, opening into a cluster of alveoli.

Which factors should scientists measure to learn how each<br> population changed over time?
Doss [256]

Answer:

The statistical study of populations and how they change over time is called demography. Two important measures of a population are population size, the number of individuals, and population density, the number of individuals per unit area or volume.

Ion pumps requires proteins?​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:yes

Explanation:

Ion pumps are assemblies of integral membrane proteins, like ion channels, that modulate ion transport into and out of a cell or organelle, leading to generation of electrical signals. Ion pumps, however, work against their concentration gradient, so require energy input, but the energy can also be derived from the concentration gradient of another ion.
