How do glycoproteins help the mucus to trap substances​

Biology
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The sugar in glycoprotein mix with water in order to form a "smooth mucus." This mucus is responsible for trapping the substances in order to protect the body.

Explanation:

"Glycoprotein" was named according to its composition because it is<em> a simple protein consisting of simple sugar.</em> It can be found in cell's membrane, thus it is directly related to the organs in the body.

Glycoproteins mainly function in the body's<em> "immunology" </em>and<em> "protection."</em> When it comes to immunology, glycoproteins assist the body in blood clot formation. When it comes to protection, they provide a "smooth mucus" that protects the cell linings from agents (e.g. <em>bacteria or harsh acids</em>) such as those in the lungs, stomach and small intestines.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

A. Some speculate that they were blown out to the islands by a massive storm

Explanation:

The common rosefinches are thought to have arrived on the Hawaii islands between 6 and 7 million years ago. As the common rosefinches are not big birds and they can not fly over very long distances, the scientists believe that it is a massive storm that blow some individuals to the Hawaii islands. This is nothing weird, as it has been witnessed numerous times how massive storms manage to carry some smaller birds to places where they are not able to fly on their own. Once there, the birds encountered suitable conditions for living and lot of open niches in the food chain. This resulted in quick diversification of the common rosefinches, with members of the species gradually adapting to a particular niche, experiencing changes to be more competent, and creating numerous new species after some time.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

1. You will be unable to smell

3. Your olfactory receptor cells will no longer be able to respond  to molecules trapped in the mucus.

Explanation:

The Olfactory receptors are the receptors present in the olfactory neurons which detect different odorants or smell.

The olfactory receptors are embedded in the epithelium or mucous lining of the nose in which one extension of the cell body reaches the epithelium surface and branches into cilia like structures which sense the odour.

If the axons of the olfactory cells are broken then the cells will not be able to respond to the molecules trapped in the mucus and thus no detection of odour. The signal will not be generated in response and thus will not be sent to the brain. Thus, the person will not be able to smell.

Thus, Options-1 and 3 are correct.

What happens first when the amount of sunlight decreases?
dezoksy [38]
Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted into chemical energy. Some of this energy is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Some of the chemical energy is used to make ATP from ADP and phosphate (Pi). This chemical energy is stored as ATP.

) is every minimum bottleneck tree of g a minimum spanning tree of g? prove or give a counter example
mote1985 [20]

The answer is false. To explain further, let G have vertices {v1, v2, v3, v4}, with ends between each pair of vertices, and with the mass on the edge from vi to vj equal to I + j. Then each tree has a bottle neck edge mass of as a minimum of 5, so the tree containing of a track through vertices v3, v2, v1,v4 is a least bottleneck tree. It is not a least spanning tree, though, subsequently its total mass is greater than that of the tree with edges from v1 to every single vertex.
