<span><span>anonymous </span> 3 years ago</span>Proteins are involved in almost all of the cell's functions. They can act as: Transportation: they can transport hydrophobic molecules in blood for example Regulation: protein hormones and enzymes Receptor: can act as receptors on cell surface and in the subsequent signal transduction (G-protein for instance) It is true that all proteins are made up of up to 20 amino acids, but there are several reasons for their diverse actions: -One reason is the possible sequence and number of amino acids: Met-Ser-His is different from Met-His-Ser for example. Besides, you have different chain length, for a protein is made up of long chain of polypeptide (longer than 50-70 amino acids) and can have any of the 20 amino acids with repetition, so using simple probability, this can provide up to practically unlimited combination with proteins that have chains of thousands of amino acids. -Another very crucial reason for the diversity of protein action is the conformation. A protein passes by at least 3 conformational stages before becoming mature. The straight amino acid chain is the primary structure of the protein that can never be active. Spatial modification of this primary structure results in a secondary structure, Helix or Beta-pleated sheets (or other coiling structure), that is also inactive. Further coiling and bending of the secondary structure produce a 3-dimentional conformation that is the active form of the protein. Moreover, many proteins can undergo further conformational rearrangement and combination with other protein sub-units producing a quaternary structure.

What are the visible legs that appear when DNA strands coil and condense
sammy [17]

The answer is; chromosomes.

During interphase, the chromosomes are usually hard to visualize even under a microscope becaue they are long thin threads called chromatin. During the initiation of mitosis, the chromatin undergo structural changes that condense and shortens them  and they becomes visible to even a light microscope.

Which natural methods remove CO2 from the atmosphere? respiration ofa. living organisms B.photosynthesis by plants C.evaporation
zysi [14]

Answer;

A) respiration of living organisms.

D)absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere by ocean water.

Explanation;

-The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained by several processes, including photosynthesis, respiration and combustion.

-Green plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by photosynthesis. Living organisms - including all plants and animals - release energy from their food using respiration. Respiration and combustion - burning - both release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
