Carbohydrates are sugars that come in 2 main forms - simple and complex. This is also referred to as simple sugars and starches. The difference between a simple and complex carb is in how quickly it is digested and absorbed - as well as it's chemical structure.

Simple carbohydrates provide energy but for only a short time.

EXAMPLES: foods: fructose – sugar in fruits; lactose – sugar in milk; Sucrose – table sugar.

Complex carbohydrates provide energy for a longer amount of time.

EXAMPLE FOODS: Wheat pastas, brown rice, whole grain breads, cereals.

1.) You are studying P120, a protein of 120 KDa that is continuously synthesized in eukaryotic cells. Its cellular concentration
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1. P120 is degraded in the 26S proteasome

2. The 26S proteasome has a major role in protein degradation and is critical for protein homeostasis

3. Cell cycle and DNA replication are cellular processes regulated by the Ras and NFkB pathways

Explanation:

The proliferation-associated nucleolar protein (p120) is a protein known to be expressed during the interphase of the cell cycle, specifically in G1 and early S phase, where any problem with DNA replication trigger a checkpoint, i.e., a molecular cascade of signaling events that suspend DNA replication until the problem is resolved. In mammalian cells, the 26S proteasome is responsible for catalyzing protein degradation of about 80% (or even more) of their proteins. The 26S proteasome acts to degrade rapidly misfolded and regulatory proteins involved in the cell cycle, thereby having a major role in protein homeostasis and in the control of cellular processes. It is for that reason that inhibitors that block 26S proteasome function have shown to be useful as therapeutic agents in diseases associated with the failure of protein degradation mechanisms (e.g., multiple myeloma). The NF-κB are highly conserved transcription factors capable of regulating different cellular processes including, among others, cellular growth, inflammatory responses and apoptosis. Moreover, the MAPK/ERK pathway is able to transduce different signals received on the cell surface to the nucleus. The MAPK/ERK pathway is activated when a singling molecule binds to a cell receptor which triggers a signaling cascade that ends when a transcription factor induces the expression of target genes, ultimately producing a response in the cell (for example, the progression through the cell cycle).

Siderophores are bacterial proteins that compete with the host's:______.a. antibodies. b. iron-transport proteins. c. white bloo
joja [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is iron-transport proteins

Explanation:

Siderophores are proteins produced by bacteria, and compete with the host's iron-transport proteins. They aim to bind and "hijack" the host's cell iron molecules for their own pathogenic cell processes

what happen if photosynthetic protists disappeared from ocean, how would it affect the food chains in the ocean?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We'll see mostly ever marine life depends on plants in the ocean for example shrimp eat the sea grass and a fish eat that shrimp then a bigger fish eats the fish next a seal eat the fish then a shark eats the seal and sadly my poor sharks are becoming extinct humans evil people hunt them slice up their fins and throw them back in the ocean alive to slowly die
Please save the shark and recycle to keep plastic out of are oceans

How would you calculate the volume of a alligator
ZanzabumX [31]
You can use the volume displacement method. If you had the alligator in a tank and you knew how much the volume of water in the tank was before the alligator was in there you could subtract that from the volume of the water with the alligator in the tank.
