if a protein is heated to a high temperature, what do you predict would be the most likely effect on the protein?a)the protein w

ould become denatured, losing its shape, and would not be able to function properly. b)the protein would work more efficiently as the higher temperature increased the reaction rate. c)the protein would break apart into the individual amino acids that made up the protein. d)the protein would fold into a different shape and catalyze a different type of biochemical reaction.

Answer:

a)the protein would become denatured, losing its shape, and would not be able to function properly.

Explanation:

Proteins have an ideal temperature to do their job efficiently. When this temperature increases or decreases intensely, the protein will undergo denaturation.

Denaturation is the term that refers to the situation where proteins lose their three-dimensional conformity and consequently all of their function is lost. In addition to temperature, pH can also cause denaturation and this process can also happen with other molecules, but it occurs mainly in proteins.

DNA is replicated in the nucleus of eukaryotes, but in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Why is this?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

In prokaryotes (organisms without a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription and RNA undergoes translation in an undivided compartment. All three processes can occur simultaneously.

   In eukaryotes (organisms with a nuclear membrane), DNA undergoes replication and transcription in the nucleus, and proteins are made in the cytoplasm. RNA must therefore travel across the nuclear membrane before it undergoes translation. This means that  transcription and translation are physically separated. The primary transcript, heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA), undergoes extensive post-transcriptional processing to make a messenger RNA (mRNA)molecule that can pass through the nuclear membrane.

7. Why is the visible spectrum important?
kirza4 [7]

This makes it important to use instruments that can detect different wavelengths of light to help us to study the Earth and the Universe. However, since visible light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can see, our whole world is oriented around it.

Asexual reproduction is based on a type of cell division known as _____.
Maksim231197 [3]

Mitosis.

Asexual reproduction is the type of reproduction in which a cell make a copy of itself. In asexual reproduction there occurs simple cell division.No fertilization of egg and sperm can be seen in asexual reproduction. Thus in asexual reproduction offspring have identical genetic material as that of parent. Similarly in mitosis two identical nuclei are formed which are genetically identical to the nucleus of the parent cell.

The contraction of auricular muscles around the ear produces a range of motions in the ears of domesticated animals as well as t
creativ13 [48]
The correct answer is letter C, in most primates, the inability to move the ear has been replaced by the ability to stand upright on two legs. This is because movement was much of a need to these primates than hunting for food. They needed to be agile to locate specific places where sources of food are abundant.
