Debora [2.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Polymers of amino acids can be both fibrous as well as globular protein. Hemoglobin is a globular but the collagen is the fibrous protein both being the amino acids.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <em>Soluble in water: </em>globular protein is soluble in water.
  • <em>intermediate filaments:</em> fibrous protein
  • <em>Insoluble in water:</em> fibrous protein is insoluble in water.
  • <em>function as structural proteins in the cell:</em> fibrous protein.
  • <em>some function as enzymes: </em>globular protein.
  • <em>structure is somewhat spherical;</em> globular protein.
  • <em>structure is rod-like:</em> fibrous protein

Explain the interaction that occurs between a t-helper lymphocyte and a b cell when the b cell is being induced to produce peanu
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

           According to Dr. Ray Schiling (member of the American Academy of Anti-aging medicine) about 1.5 million people suffer from peanut allergies. The seeds of peanut (<em>Arachis hypogea</em>) contain an array of allergens that can induce the production of IgE specific antibodies predisposed individuals. Ara1 and Ara2 are most common seed storage protein that cause allergy. Other allergen proteins such as Ara3 to Ara 17 have also been identified that cause allergy.  


Entry of peanut allergen into body

When peanut allergens enter the body of an individuals it leads to development of different symptoms like itchy skin, tingling sensation, nausea, runny nose and anaphylaxis.  

Allergic response

There are two subsets of T-cells Th1 and Th2. Both invoke different response to allergens. Th1 direct a non-allergic response while Th2 direct allergic response ranging from releasing of histamine to anaphylactic response. The presence of IL-12 cytokines direct a Th1 based, nonspecific response.  


Mechanism of allergic response (interaction between helper T cell and B cell)

Step 1.  

           When allergen enter to body they are encountered by B cells. Immunoglobulin receptors on the surface of B cells recognize antigen (Peanut allergens) and get attached, which are then internalized and processed. Within B cells the fragments of antigens combine with HLA class 2 proteins.  

Step 2

             HLA class 2 with antigen fragments (peanut allergens) then display on the surface of B cells.

Step 3

            Receptors on the surface of helper T cells recognizes the complex of HLA class 2 and antigen fragments (peanut allergen) and is activated to produce cytokines, which activate the B cells.  

Step 4

             B cell is activated by cytokines and begins clonal expansion. Some of the progeny become anti-body producing plasma cells while other become memory B cells.

What do you think would happen if producers did not exist ?
yan [13]
Well for starters, producers are living organisms that produce their own food. Like plants. And plants ironically provide us humans with oxygen as they live off of the carbon dioxide we produce. Some plants are also main vegetables that we eat, so put simply, a world without producers would be practically oxygen-less and vegetable-less.

How does life form from a fertilized egg?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: As a fertilized human egg divides, it first becomes a solid ball of cells, the morula. ... The cells of the outer layer of the blastocyst eventually form part of the placenta. Inside the ball is a small clump of cells, the inner cell mass, that will form all the tissues in the body.
