Phosphatases are a family of enzymes that specifically remove phosphate groups from proteins that were added by protein kinases.

Vanadate is an inhibitor of phosphatases in eukaryotic cells. What effect would vanadate have on the response of cells to signals received by receptor kinases

Answer:

It will increase the cells response longer than the normal duration for response.

Explanation:

Generally phosphorylation by phosphatases  is important to protein structure.it brings about confrontational change in the protein structure, to create protein-protein interaction surfaces. The phosphate ion  in the phosphorylated   protein  regulate the formation of  hydrogen bonds among the amino acids residues in the surrounding  cells.

This brings about a confrontational change in the structure of protein, which enable the substrate to have access to active site of  the enzyme (phospatases),Therefore increasing catalytic actions for phosphorylated process.

Now if Vanadate inhibited phosphatases, phosphorylation of protein will be blocked. Confrontational change in the protein structure will not occur. Hydrogen bonds between  amino acid residues will not be present, thus the essential confrontational change which  create protein-protein interactions for  the cell response from protein kinases will be blocked, thus making cell to take longer time to respond

Therefore it will take longer time for the cell to response to  signals by receptor kinases.

Answer:

The cell response to the signal will last longer than normal.

Explanation:

The enzyme, protein kinases does the opposite of what phosphatases does, they add a phosphate group to a protein. Both these enzymes regulate the protein activity in a cell.

What makes water a polar molecule?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

It contains partial positive and negative charges.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is a non-covalent bond between a partial negative charge and a partial positive charge. Hydrogen bonds tend to be weak. Hydrogen bonds tend to be transient.

Which one of the following statements holds true for the induced-fit model?
Andrews [41]
The correct answer is...Once the enzyme binds to the specific substrate molecule, subtle structure changes occur in the active site, which are reverted when the reaction is over.

Hope this helps:)

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, I_{min} =  5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

                                      = 8.5 x 10^{-3} m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x 10^{-3} m

∴ Area of the eye, A = \pi .r^{2}

                                 = 3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}

                                = 5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}

Let P_{min} be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, P_{min} = I_{min} x A

                                              = 5\times 10^{-13} x 5.6\times 10^{-5}

                                             = 2.8\times 10^{-17} W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

N_{min}=P_{min}/E

where E = hc/\lambda

             = \left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}  \right )/548\times 10^{-9}

            = 3.62\times 10^{-19} J

Therefore, N_{min} = \frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}

                                              = 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34
