How does the structure of a protein affect the functions of muscle contraction

1 answer:

6 0

Since muscle contraction depends on interactions between actin, myosion and some intermediate molecules, the primary protein structure of such proteins and their spatial conformation are fundamental for their functioning. For example, actin and myosin, both filamentous proteins that slide past each other or troponin/tropomyosin interactions that blocks the binding of myosin to actin.

Two organisms have analogous structures. A student concluded that these organisms must have a common ancestor is the student cor

arsen [322]

Answer:

The student is wrong, just because the analogous structures of any two organism may have the same structure or even have the some relation between there way of operation or functions.

Explanation:

Analogous Structures:

As the similarity between two or more different organisms structure or any organ does not means that they have same ancestors or have the common origin from which the evolve into two different species. Now analogous structures are very much similar in there structure physically, but two different organisms may use them for the same function, which is astonishing to see or observe in way different species.

For example:

As the structure of the flipper of a Dolphin has similarity with the phalanges of a human being and with the wings of the bat. As all of them functions for the basic need of movement or locomotion from one point to another. While, all the three species are very much different in there features and are not the same obviously.

While assessing a neonate’s temperature, the nurse observes a drop in the body temperature. what is the most appropriate reason

Novosadov [1.4K]

The right answer is decreased nonshivering thermogenesis.

The increase in metabolism allows an increase in the production of heat. Newborns use their brown fat as a source of heat, it is a non shivering thermogenesis.

The second mechanism for increasing heat in humans is increased muscle tone and shivering, but in the newborn there is no chill.
