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.

The TRUE statements are 'proteins often have more than one transmembrane domain'; 'they are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer' and 'they are usually shaped like alpha-helices'.

A transmembrane domain is a membrane-spanning region within a protein. The transmembrane domains are hydrophobic regions that can be inserted into the cell membrane.

The transmembrane domains are usually shaped like alpha-helices.

This secondary structure (alpha-helices) causes the amino acid R-groups to project radially, thereby these side chains can interact with each other.

Proteins need only a single transmembrane domain to be anchored to the membrane, but they often have more than one.

For example, Acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferases 1 and 2 (ACAT1 and ACAT2)  have multiple transmembrane domains.

The transmembrane domains are regions of a transmembrane protein that actually pass through the lipid bilayer.

These domains contain amino acids with hydrophobic R-groups that pass through the membrane and interact with the hydrophobic tails of the fatty acid chains present in the lipid bilayer.

The transmembrane domains anchor transmembrane proteins to the lipid bilayer.

The interactions between amino acids of the transmembrane domains and fatty acids in the lipid bilayer help to anchor transmembrane proteins and stabilize the cell membrane.

Why is RNA polymerase a good name for the enzyme that carries out transcription
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

RNA Polymerase plays an important role in the process called transcription which result in the in the synthesis of RNA from DNA molecule.

Explanation:

RNA polymerase helps in the addition of ribonucleotides in the growing RNA strans that is synthesized from template DNA .

      one ribonucleotide is joined to the adjacent ribonucleotide by the formation of phosphodiester bond.

      RNA polymerase is named so because this enzyme helps in the polymerization of ribonucleotides leading to the formation of a Primary RNA transcript.
