Which proteins is used as a chemical defense at body surfaces?

Biology
1 answer:
UNO [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Antimicrobial proteins.

Explanation:

Antimicrobial proteins are the type of proteins produced by the keratinocytes on the body surfaces. These proteins acts as the barrier and kills the microorganism which is trying to enter the body.

These are larger proteins containing more than 100 amino acids. They are often lytic in nature.

The cell membrane of the microbes is disrupted by the action of these amino acids or proteins on them.

The appearance of free oxygen in the earths atmosphere led to the "great oxidation event" where did all of this oxygen come from
Alborosie

Answer:

So there's a simple explanation for the Great Oxidation Event. It was the cyanobacteria, pumping out unwanted oxygen, that transformed Earth's atmosphere. ... That means the cyanobacteria were busy pumping out oxygen for at least half a billion years before oxygen started appearing in the air.

Describes how energy is produced from the power of water. In your answer, include the terms: ocean water, turbine, electricity,
lapo4ka [179]

Most hydroelectric power plants have a dam and a reservoir. These structures may obstruct fish migration and affect their populations. Operating a hydroelectric power plant may also change the water temperature and the river's flow. These changes may harm native plants and animals in the river and on land. Reservoirs may cover people's homes, important natural areas, agricultural land, and archaeological sites. So building dams can require relocating people. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas, may also form in some reservoirs and be emitted to the atmosphere. Reservoir construction is "drying up" in the United States  Gosh, hydroelectric power sounds great -- so why don't we use it to produce all of our power? Mainly because you need lots of water and a lot of land where you can build a dam and reservoir, which all takes a LOT of money, time, and construction. In fact, most of the good spots to locate hydro plants have already been taken. In the early part of the century hydroelectric plants supplied a bit less than one-half of the nation's power, but the number is down to about 10 percent today. The trend for the future will probably be to build small-scale hydro plants that can generate electricity for a single community.  As this chart shows, the construction of surface reservoirs has slowed considerably in recent years. In the middle of the 20th Century, when urbanization was occurring at a rapid rate, many reservoirs were constructed to serve peoples' rising demand for water and power. Since  Hydroelectric energy is produced by the force of falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Building up behind a high dam, water accumulates potential energy. This is transformed into mechanical energy when the water rushes down the sluice and strikes the rotary blades of turbine. The turbine's rotation spins electromagnets which generate current in stationary coils of wire. Finally, the current is put through a transformer where the voltage is increased for long distance transmission over power lines.   Hydroelectric-power production in the United States and the world!

For a wrestler to qualify in his weight class, he needs to weigh more than 165 pounds but less than or equal to 185 pounds. He c
fomenos

Answer: To be in the qualifying weight range wrestler have to lose weight for 8 weeks more.

Explanation:

Current weight of Wrestler = 189 pounds

Maximum Weight required to get qualify = 185 pounds

Weight required to reduced by wrestler= 189 pounds - 185 pounds = 4 pounds

0.5 pounds is reduced in 1 week

1 pound will  reduce in =\frac{1}{0.5} weeks= 2 weeks

4 pounds will reduce in = 2 weeks × 4= 8 weeks

To be in the qualifying weight range wrestler have to lose weight for 8 weeks more.

Why does water form large round drops as it falls from a faucet with a slow leak
jarptica [38.1K]
Water molecules are polar. This means that one end of the molecule is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged. Opposite charges attract. Water molecules on the faucet that are eventually pulled away from the others by gravity will themselves pull together and form round drops because the charged portions of molecule attract the oppositely charged portions of another.
