Answer:
No, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 binds to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release.
Explanation:
The O2 molecule is reversibly combined with the heme portion of the hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, as in the case of pulmonary capillaries, for example, the binding of O2 to hemoglobin and the release of carbon dioxide are favored, this is known as the Haldane effect. If, on the contrary, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 is bound to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release, this is known as the effect Bohr.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
If the earth was tilted, there would be small changes in temperature, but there will be no seasons. The Earth's axis is now inclined at around 24 degrees. This is the main reason for the changing of the seasons. The Northern Hemisphere is in the warm season when the Earth is slanted toward the sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is in the cold season when the Earth is slanted away from the sun. The cycle repeats itself every year because the Earth rotates around the sun at a known and generally constant rate. The sun is higher in the sky during the warm season, making it warmer, and lower in the sky during the cool season, making it colder.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
For both actin and microtubule polymerization, nucleotide hydrolysis is important for decreasing the binding strength between subunits on filaments.
Explanation:
Cytoskeletal filaments are common to eucaryotic cells and are impotartant to the spatial organization of cells. Intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength and resistance to shear stress. Microtubules determine the positions of membrane-enclosed organelles and direct intracellular transport. Actin filaments determine the shape of the cell's surface and are necessary for whole-cell locomotion. A large number of accessory proteins are present that link the filaments to other cell components, as well as to each other. Accessory proteins are essential for the assembly of the cytoskeletal filaments in particular locations, and it includes the motor proteins that either move organelles along the filaments or move the filaments themselves.
Actin filaments and microtubules are assembled with expenditure of energy i.e the ATP/GTP tightly bound to actin/tubulin is irreversibly hydrolyzed to ADP/GTP during the assembly process, and liberation of Pi in the medium occurs subsequent to the incorporation of subunits in the polymer. Pi release acts as a switch, causing the destabilization of protein-protein interactions in the polymer, therefore regulating the dynamics of these fibres. The progress is made in four areas: the chemistry of the NTPase reaction; the structure of the intermediates in nucleotide hydrolysis and the nature of the conformational switch; the regulation of parameters involved in dynamic instability of microtubules; and the possible involvement of nucleotide hydrolysis in the macroscopic organization of these polymers in highly concentrated solutions, compared with the simple case of a equilibrium polymers.
