What is the nature of "second signal molecules" in signaling pathways?

Biology
1 answer:
Vilka [71]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The target receptor is expressed in the membrane, the activity of the receptor can instigate the production of small molecules known as the secondary messengers that coordinate and initiate the intracellular signaling pathways. For example, cyclic AMP is a secondary signal molecule.  

When the signal molecules stimulate the receptor, the signal is carried into the cell generally by means of secondary messengers.

Identify how the deletion of a single nitrogen base in DNA can cause a harmful mutation in an organism.
ra1l [238]

Answer:

B. Nearly every amino acid translated after the error will create the wrong protein after the deletion of a base.

Explanation:

Generally, mutations occur in two ways: 1) a base replacement, where one base is replaced for another; 2) insertion or deletion, where a base is either incorrectly inserted or deleted from a codon.

When a nucleotide is wrongly inserted or deleted from a codon, the effects of this change can be extreme. An insertion or deletion can affect every codon in a particular genetic sequence.  For example, given the code:

GAU GAC UCC GCU AGG. It is the codes for the amino acids aspartate, aspartate, serine, alanine, and arginine. If the A in the GAU were to be deleted, the code would become GUG ACU CCG UAG G. It won't produce any right amino acid.

So, if the code becomes changes, it won't produce any amino acid or will produce the wrong amnio acid.

During nitrification, _____.
Serga [27]
<span>During nitrification, ammonia is changed back into nitrate.</span>

Nitrification is a three-step process of oxidation of ammonia. It is an aerobic process performed by small groups of autotrophic bacteria (<span>Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter</span>).
First step- ammonia to hydroxylamine,
Second step-hydroxylamine to nitrite,
Third step-nitrite to nitrate.
Nitrification together with ammonification is part of a nitrogen cycle.

I need to know the hypothesized enzyme
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Hypotheis:

<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>

  • <u>A- Pepsin</u>
  • <u>B- Amylase </u>
  • <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.

Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.

  • Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
  • Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4  glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
  • Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH  is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.

Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.
