The Cell to Mentee
A cell is the basic unit of life of a human. The body cell contains cytoplasm in which organelles are present . There is a nucleus found in eukaryotic cell. It contains the genetic material in the form of DNA with proteins and chromosomes. Inside there is nuclear membrane. Outside the nucleus, there are many other organelles like mitochondria, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and many more.
Answer:
From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>
Explanation:
Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.
Nucleotides comprise:
- a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
- one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
- and a phosphate group.
Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.
Answer:
Both have two circuits for circulation.
Explanation:
- The two circuits of circulations are known as the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit.
- In the<u> systemic circuit</u> oxygenated blood from the heart is pumped to all parts of the body through the blood vessels and then the blood is pumped back to he heart.
- In the<u> pulmonary circuit</u> deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body is pumped from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated and after it is oxygenated it is pumped back to the heart.
TRUE, with also sharp points
Answer: a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification
Explanation:
Metabolic pathways involve all the chemical processes takes place in the enviornment or in an organisms.The metabolic pathways are controlled through the catalytic activities of enzymes.
The availability of enzyme is regulated by substrate and cofactors present in enzyme and enzyme activity is commonly regulated via covalent modification.
Enzymes are highly selective in nature and bind to a specific substarte only. The active site in enzyme binds with the substrate to form enzyme substrate complex. Coactors assist the enzyme activity, without cofactor enzyme can not perform its activity.
Hence enzyme availibility is regulated by substrate and cofactors regulates.
Covalent modifications regulates activity of enzyme as it involves addition and removal of chemical group to synthesis required protein. It can change the chemical properties of the site by targeting one or multiple amino acid.
Thus the correct answer is a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification
