The order in which the amino-acids are placed within the polypeptide determines the tertiary structure and therefore the function of the given protein. Amino acids have different functional groups like methyl(CH3), phenyl(C6H5). Those functional groups can interact with molecules like glucose determining reactions, the proteins that catalyze reactions are called enzymes. Other functional groups of amino acids can be the sulfate groups. For example, insulin has 2 polypeptide chains(Chain A has 21 amino acids, and chain B, 30). Between the two polypeptide chains, 2 disulfide bonds form altering its shape.
Answer:
The pituitary gland also produces hormones for organs in the body, as well. It creates:
Oxytocin for the uterus and mammary glands to stimulate contractions that aid in birth and milk production
Vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone, for the kidneys
Beta-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that darkens the skin
Endorphins for the brain and immune system to help inhibit pain sensations and regulate the immune system
Growth hormones for muscles and bones
Enkephalins that help inhibit pain sensations in the brain
Prolactin, which stimulates milk production in the mammary glands
Explanation:
Enzymes are the catalyst in the metabolic pathway.
Both viral vectors and bacterial plasmids can be used to transfer genes into an organism. An invitro fertilisation could maybe be helpful, but not with engineered genes, but existing genes.
A) viral vectors is the best answer is viruses can be used to infect plants and change their DNA- bacteria aren't as good, as they can mostly be used to modify other bacteria only
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A) Saliva converting the starch molecules in crackers into simple sugars
B) Digestive enzymes breaking down proteins into smaller fragments
C) bacteria converting lactose into simple sugars in the intestines
D) teeth grinding an almond into smaller pieces in the mouth
The answer is D
Explanation:
A physical change is a change that occurs to a substance without altering its chemical composition. A physical change involved a change in the substance's shape, texture, color, state etc. but not the chemical content of such substances.
In this question involving the processes that occur in digestion, a typical example of physical change is "teeth grinding an almond into smaller pieces in the mouth" because the teeth only changes the shape and texture of the almond. It does not affect the chemical composition of the almond fruit. This is also called mechanical digestion.
Note that, other options involving digestive enzymes breakdown are chemical changes because the enzymes breakdown the chemical components of each substance.
