Proteins play key roles in olfaction. One kind of protein, called ___________, attaches itself to hydrophobic odorant molecules

so that they may dissolve in watery mucous. A second class of proteins, to which odorant molecules become bound and initiate transduction, are coded by the largest family of genes in mammals and are called ___________ . Group of answer choices

Answer:

The correct answer is "Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs); Olfactory receptors (ORs)".

Explanation:

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are low-molecular soluble molecules that are secreted in high amounts in the nasal mucus layer. The precise biological activity of OBPs remains unclear, however, its solubility and ability to attach to hydrophobic odorant molecules suggest that they acts as carriers. A second class of proteins called olfactory receptors (ORs), act at the genetic level by initiating transduction once odorant molecules attach to them. ORs are coded by the largest family of genes, which include more than 100 genes and pseudogenes that represent around 3% of the genome.

1. What do you notice about the angle of Earth?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

1. Today instead of rotating upright, The earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees. The angle varies a little over time, but the gravitational pull of the moon prevents it from shifting by more than a degree so. This tilt is what gives us seasons.

2.The cooling effects of more indirect sunlight cause autumn and winter. Because of the earth's approximately 23.5° tilt, the season in the northern and southern hemispheres reversed, about six months apart from each other.

Explain how the use of cell technology makes disease eradication possible.
Kaylis [27]

The post-eradication era is a period of history for which there has been no precedent whatsoever in terms of a zero base of immunity. Cessation of immunization will eventually create a population susceptible to widespread infection in the event of accidental or intentional reintroduction or re-emergence of the eradicated virus. Thus, even after immunization ceases, vaccine production must continue.

However, many currently available vaccines may not be appropriate for continued post-eradication vaccine production or reinstatement. Vaccines must be continually improved and ongoing vaccination research maintained. Other potentially useful antiviral strategies—antivirals, prophylaxis, and probiotics—must also be considered as means to strengthen the immune system and serve as adjuvant or prophylactic therapies.

In the case of polio, for example, it remains to be determined which vaccine (oral polio vaccine [OPV] or inactivated polio vaccine [IPV]), or variant thereof, should be produced in the post-eradication, post-vaccination era. A detailed plan for vaccine production will require more information on OPV-derived viral persistence and transmission, as well as continuing dialogue between public health and research communities in order to ensure that appropriate vaccination research continues.
