Protein becomes denatured and cease to perform the work if structural changes occur because protein is highly specific in its function. It is stated that the function of the protein is determined by its structure. The proteins are the product of the continuous process of replication, transcription, translation and post-translational modifications. The information stored in it highly specific.

Protein binds with other molecules and perform various physiological functions as it has specific complementary attachment sites, the alteration in the structure would not let it bind to the target and hence desired result will not come out.

Involuntary muscle contractions which move a bolus through the gastrointestinal tract are called
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

peristalsis.

Explanation:

When the food enters the esophagus, it is in the form of a bolus. During this esophageal stage of swallowing, there are rhythmic contractions and relaxation of the circular and longitudinal layers of the muscularis of the GI tract. It is called peristalsis. This pushes the bolus downwards. Peristalsis in the esophagus is controlled by the medulla oblongata.

As the food enters the stomach, waves of peristalsis pass over the stomach every 15 to 25 seconds. The peristaltic waves in the stomach start at its body and become more intense as they reach the antrum. It moves gastric contents from the body of the stomach down into the antrum, a process known as propulsion.

11. Who suggested that peppered moths were an example of natural selection?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

J. W. Tutt suggested that peppered moths were an example of natural selection.

Explanation: Before industrial revolution, the population of white peppered moth is high as compared to dark peppered moth because white peppered moth can't be seen at night by the birds. After industrial revolution, sooth is spread on the surface of the trees which make easy for the bird to see white peppered moth and feeds on them. Population of white peppered moth decreases while the population of dark peppered moth increased because they cannot be seen in the dark due to black color of sooth.
