Answer:

Ice actually has a very different structure than liquid water, in that the molecules align themselves in a regular lattice rather than more randomly as in the liquid form. It happens that the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.

Which organ is crucial for expelling cellular carbon dioxide waste?

Pavel [41]

<span>The lungs are the organs that are most crucial in expelling cellular carbon dioxide waste. Lungs are the most important organ of the respiratory system. They excrete these wastes through the process of diffusion and exhalation. Without the proper excretion of carbon dioxide by the lungs, the blood will be left without oxygen and might be toxic to course through the bloodstream. The lungs are responsible for converting unoxygenated blood into oxygenated blood. Through this process carbon dioxide is expelled as the by-product.</span>

True or false? One possible way to alter chromatin structure such that genes could be transcribed would be to make histone prote

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The histones that are more positively charged, tight hardly to negatively charged DNA. So, enzymes, such as acetyltransferases, that reduce the positive charge of histones promote transcription.

Chromatin structure and its modifications can change the package of the DNA and consequently, alter the gene expression. The most common modifications of the chromatin are covalent modifications such as acetylation/deacetylation (by acetyltransferases and eacetylases), methylation (by methyltransferases), and phosphorylation (by kinases). This is the way of gene expression regulation.

The effects of modifications are different, for example methylation promotes condensation of the chromatin and as a consequence, prevents binding of transcription factors to the DNA (transcription is repressed).

Acetylation loosens the association between nucleosomes and DNA (because it neutralizes the positive charge of histones) and consequently promotes transcription. Deacetylation is a process opposite to acetylation.

Which term is used to classify amino acids in the diet?

Elodia [21]

<span>Amino acids are considered as the building blocks of protein's, so amino acid rich food simply means protein rich food. There are 20 classifications for amino acids but nine of them are essential since our body can't make them. Usually in diet important amino acids are Lysine (C6H14N2O2), Leucine (C6H13NO2), Valine (C5H11NO2), Tryptophan (C11H12N2O2), Isoleucine (C6H13NO2) Phenylalanine (C9H11NO2) and Threonine (C4H9NO3).</span>
