Protein function is directly related to the structure of that protein. A protein's specific shape determines its function. if the structure of the protein is altered because of a change in the structure of the amino acids, the protein becomes denatured and does not perform its function as expected.

Answer: The Quaternary structure

Explanation: Myoglobin and hemoglobin are both hemeprotiens with the ability to bind oxygen.

Myoglobin is mainly found in muscle tissue and plays a vital role as an intracellular storage site for oxygen. Myoglobin is a monomeric heme protein and has a secondary and tertiary structure. Hemoglobin is vital for the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body as needed. Hemoglobin is a tetrameric hemeprotien with secondary and tertiary structures.

Both hemoglobin and myoglobin are absent of a quaternary structure.

Name two examples of catastrophic events which could lead to a mass extinction?
Lemur [1.5K]

Asteroid impact

Volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.

A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.

  • The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
  • The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
  • The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
  • It can cause heating of the earth surface.
  • Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.
