Answer:

Deletion and glycosylation.

Explanation:

Proteins is polymers of the alpha amino acids that are directly linked together through the peptide bond. Proteins plays an important role in the metabolic pathways as most enzymes are made of protein.

The same protein can exist in two different size. This might occur due to the deletion of the particular amino acids sequence in one organism and normal in other organisms. The glycosylation of the same protein at different position in the proteins may also leads to the difference in the protein size.

Thus, the correct answer is deletion and glycosylation.

melamori03 [73]
Physical property is the characteristic that can be observed, using the five sense, without changing or trying to change the composition of the substance. Chemical property on the other hand is a characteristic of how the substance reacts. It can not be observed without changing the substance into something else. A physical change is a change in which the form or appearance of matter changes, but not its composition.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The CFTR behaves like a channel for chlorine. Its dysfunction affects both the transport of this ion and other ions and the transport of water, which causes a thickening of secretions, an alteration of mucociliary transport and local defenses, facilitating bacterial colonization and promoting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in the airway

Explanation:

CFTR is a protein expressed in the epithelial cells of the respiratory system, pancreas, bile ducts, sweat glands and genitourinary system. It is made up of a single chain made up of 1,480 amino acids. It contains 12 hydrophobic regions embedded in the lipid membrane and acts as a channel for chlorine.The highest levels of expression of the CFTR protein are found in serous cells of the submucosal glands of the proximal airway. In them, Cl- is released to the outside. In addition, there are channels for Na +, through which this ion is also secreted in the same direction. These movements cause the displacement of water and also of mucins, originating in the submucosal glands, allowing their presence on the surface of the airway. For all this to occur normally, a basolateral Na + - K + - ATPase cotransporter must function, another basolateral cotransporter formed by Na +, K + and 2 Cl-, which allows the latter to enter the cell, and an apical CFTR channel through which it exits the Cl- of the cell towards the acinar lumen. Na + leaves the cell following Cl- by a paracellular pathway accompanied by water. When CFTR malfunctions, Cl- does not exit through this channel and this implies a decrease in Na + and water in the canalicular lumen, with the consequent thickening of secretions.
