How are potassium and sodium transported across plasma membranes?

Biology
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
3 0
A resting plasma membrane has carrier proteins on its surface. Energy derived from ATP is usually utilized by these carriers to change their shape in order to carry different molecules into or out of the cell. The sodium pump is a membrane protein which uses energy from ATP to carry sodium ions out of the cell and allow potassium ions into the cell to replace sodium.

Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. An individual experiences a mutation that changes a base
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> mutation.

Explanation:

In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.

In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.

For the other options:

  • <u><em>Missense</em></u><em>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs. </em>
  • <u><em>Nonsense</em></u><em>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.</em>
  • <u><em>Insertion</em></u><em>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.</em>

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

A. Biodiversity will decrease .

Explanation:

  • The loss of a keystone species can cause extinction  or mass destruction of other species that are dependent on it because keystone species are those species which significantly influence the existence and survival of other species in an ecosystem
  • Since, beavers are considered as the keystone species, their removal  from the ecosystem will cause loss of many other species in the ecosystem resulting in Decrease in the biodiversity of that ecosystem.
