Biology

Answer:

C. Kinesin hydrolyzes ATP.

Explanation:

The central force-generating element that the two types of motor proteins (Kinesin and Myosin) have in common includes the site of ATP binding and the machinery necessary to translate ATP hydrolysis into an allosteric conformational change. Kinesin must use the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to force a large movement in part of the protein molecule. When kinesin forms a rigor-like tight association with the head location of the microtubule, the ATP is bound to the kinesin, and it is hydrolysis of ATP that promotes release of the motor from its track. Thus, myosins can typically drive filament sliding much more rapidly than kinesins, even though they hydrolyze ATP at comparable rates and take molecular steps of comparable length.

Answer:

b. by increasing the heart rate

c. by increasing the respiratory rate

Explanation:

Increased activity of skeletal muscles would require an increased supply of oxygen to these cells to sustain the muscle contraction. Muscle cells perform aerobic cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen and produce ATP molecules to be used during muscle contraction. Therefore, there is an increase in heart rate to pump sufficient blood to the skeletal muscles which in turn ensures enough supply of oxygen. Also, there will be an increase in the respiration rate to inhale the required oxygen.

Predict how the thickness of cuticle and the number of stomata differ in plants from wet habitats versus dry habitats. drag the
Rzqust [24]
The cuticle decreases water loss and stomata assist gas exchange. The plants from wet habitats must have a comparatively large number of stomata and thin cuticle. The plants existing in dry habitats must have comparatively few stomata and thick cuticle.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is written as the equation p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. What does prepresent?
mart [117]

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg principle can be illustrated mathematically with the equation: p2+2pq+q2 = 1, where 'p' and 'q' represent the frequencies of alleles. ... The principle behind it is that, in a population where certain conditions are met (see below), the frequency of the alleles in the gene pool will be constant.
