The clear protein of an egg become opaque and firm when cooked because the heat CHANGES THE PROTEIN STRUCTURE BY DENATURING THE PROTEIN.
Each enzymes has its own range of temperature at which it remains active, when this temperature is exceeded the protein becomes denatured and loses its three dimensional structure which determines its functions.
Answer:
The answer would be C. An organism is able to better withstand a toxin!
Explanation:
This is most likely because if it is a beneficial mutation, it has an effect that allows the organism to better survive and thrive, and being able to withstand a toxin can definitely support survival and reproduction.
I really hope this helped you! Have a nice day! :)
The relationship between the fungus and algae of a lichen is known as a symbiotic relationship.
In this kind of relationship, the two organisms work together to create one stable unit.
Answer:
Explanation:
The electron-carrier proteins are arranged in the inner mitochondrial wall. A dehydrogenase enzyme (think of it as the first protein of the electron-transport chain) oxidises NADH2 (which is the reduced coenzyme NAD) and/or FADH2 (reduced coenzyme FAD). The energy from the oxidation process is used to pump hydrogen ions from the matrix to the inter-membrane space of the mitochondrion. Because of this, gradient of hydrogen ion concentration builds up across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which generates a potential difference across the membrane. The protons then flow back to the matrix through an enzyme called ATP synthase (also called ATPase). (This is called chemiosmosis because a chemical substance (H+) moves across a membrane, down the concentration gradient.) This releases energy needed for the ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP, i.e. make ATP (chemical energy for use in the cell) from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
Note: Bolded things are important, everything else is just additional clarification in case you need it. This is the last major phase of cellular respiration. If you want a deeper insight into the process, I suggest you read a bit about glycolysis and Krebs cycle.
