8 0

Answer:

c. a molecule that intiates a signaling cascade in response to hormone binding on a cell membrane receptor and activating a G protein.  

Explanation:

The second messenger is an intracellular signaling molecule that transmits signals within cells. These molecules are involved in the propagation of signals from the external to the intracellular medium.

These molecules promote initiation of intracellular signal transduction cascades. The second messenger needs to be active by some other molecule that is usually a hormone hormone. When activation occurs, a protein called Protein G changes the conformation of the second messenger by separating its alpha and beta-gamma subunits.

Which transplant method would prevent the rejection of tissue after an organ transplant?
balandron [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is (1) using organs cloned from the cells of the patient

Explanation:

Organ Cloning is a method to solve the failures/rejection in organ transplants. It consists of the creation of human embryonic stem cells in order to use them as raw material for different medical therapies. These can be used to produce a large number of different cells, including: tissues, muscles and organic cells. The main research in human organ cloning is aimed at achieving healthy tissues that can be transplanted in people without immunological rejection.

Identify and explain two problems that modern agriculture has caused for the environment.
algol [13]

Two problems that today's agriculture has caused is soil erosion and a decrease in biodiversity in the environment. This is especially due to mono-cropping of large tracks of land.   Lands cleared for agriculture almost immediately begin to erode away, usually by wind or running water. Due to monocropping, the reduced variety of plants on the environment causes a consequent deduction in a variety of animals in the region such as pollinators due to the availability of only one type of plant for pollination.

Protein catalysts which cause reactions to occur at temperatures and pH values which are common to living cells are called
mina [271]
The proteins that helps in decreasing the activation energy of a reaction to occur at a definite temperature range and pH value in a living cell are called as the enzymes. These proteins are considered as the biocatalysts. All these biocatalysts are made up of proteins. All the enzymes are proteins but all proteins are not enzymes. Hence the answer is enzymes.
