Which of these pollutants is biodegradable?

Biology
1 answer:
vfiekz [6]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Food waste

Explanation:

Food waste is an organic compound, unlike the other choices. Organic compounds are biodegradable because living organisms, such as decomposers, have evolved mechanisms of breaking down these large carbon-based compounds/polymers into smaller molecules for energy. Food waste is therefore easily recycled into the environment.

The others do not have naturally occurring organisms to break them down or reduce them. They would, therefore, accumulate in the environment. This is exactly what is happening to plastc pollution. Accumulation of plastic in the environment is due to fact that they are not broken down into simpler molecules by any naturally occurring bacteria or organisms in the environment.

Explain how the various domains of the fibronectin molecule or the laminin molecule are important for their function
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The important role of the functions of various domains of the fibronectin molecule or the laminin molecule are-

Fibronectin

-It can bind to fibrin which is important in blood clotting, and fibronectin can  attach to heparin sulfate proteoglycans or collagen for binding it to the Extra Cellular Matrix.

-The RDG-containing cell-binding domain of fibronectin is very important for permitting cells to bind to this molecule, due to the fact that it is site that is attach by integrins on the surface of the cell.

Laminin

-A collagen IV binding site permits it to bind to the basal laminae (the molecule is predominantly found at this site).

-_6_1 integrins  specific integral-binding site

Both Fibronectin and Laminin

-allow to attach to other ECM proteins.
