Many proteins destined for the mitochondria are not folded properly prior to their destination. This ultimately means that the p

roteins will be inactive in the cytosol, while active in the mitochondrial matrix. What function do these proteins most likely serve? Why is it advantageous to have them be active in the mitochondrial matrix and not in the cytosol?

Answer: Mitochondrial proteins are generally involved in mitochondrial functioning and the functions they carry out

Explanation:

Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cortisol by the ribosomes and are delivered as precursors to the mitochondria before folding and remodeling processes takes place which are carried out by the chaperones.

Mitochondrial proteins which resides in the matrix and the cristae are involved generally in mitochondria functions such as carrying the reactions in the electron transport chain among others.

The proteins which are already active at the cortisol may remain there, which is why it is advantageous for the proteins to be in their precursor state so that they will be properly targeted to the matrix to be synthesized and to function.

Ecological interactions can be categorized as competition, exploitation, or positive. Describe the types of interactions that fa
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Competition is an interaction between organisms or species in which both the organisms or species are harmed. Limited supply of at least one resource used by both can be a factor. This example is if two lions get into a fight and they end up hurting each other.

Exploitation competition occurs when individuals interact indirectly as they compete for common resources, like territory, prey or food. An example of this is when people are farming and they are trying to get the best food available but someone else might have already gotten it.

Commensalism is a positive type of ecological interaction between two species in an ecosystem. In commensalism, the association occurs between members of two different species where one species is benefited the other is neither benefited nor harmed. An example of this is tree frogs who use trees as protection.

Which of the cell types shown helps determine capillary permeability?
alexira [117]

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.
