Individuals with two copies of a certain loss-of-function PMM2 allele suffer from hypotonia (weak muscle tone), and about 20 per

cent of these individuals will die of multiple organ failure during their first year of life. The PMM2 gene codes for an enzyme that is involved in the process of _______, which adds sugars to proteins on certain amino acid R groups on proteins. The modification of target proteins by this process is necessary for these proteins to fulfill their functional roles.

Answer:

The answer to this question is that the enzyme responsible for this addition of sugars to proteins is involved in the process of Glycosylation.

Explanation:

As the enzyme is protein substances, they are always being coded for by gene located at the genetic loci of the producing organism. The illustration given in this question shows that the enzyme mentioned is responsible for the addition of sugars to proteins in the muscle so that these proteins can perform there a role for signaling, and ATP production. The process of addition of sugars to the proteins is called glycosylation of protein. The defect in the loss of this function in the enzyme leads to dystroglycan.

Damm [24]

Answer:

This will lead to an  decreases  in the ATPs synthesis. This is because low pH , high acidity favours ATP synthesis, because it increases the  proton concentration for electrochemical gradients needed for energy that  ATPase enzymes makes used of   synthesis  of ATPs.

Therefore a rise in the pH(low acidity) lowers protons levels, and therefore reduced electrochemical gradients , with a drop in energy for ATPs synthesis.

which pair shows compounds with the same radical? a. naoh and nacl b. ba(oh)2 and ba(no3)2 c. al(oh)3 and naoh d. ba(no3)2 and a
Hitman42 [59]
The correct option is C.
In chemistry, a radical is defined as an atom, ion or molecule that possess an unpaired valence electron. Generally, radicals are highly reactive chemically. Examples of radicals are hydroxyl, hypochlorite, nitrate, carbonate, oxalate, permanganate, etc. Free radicals combine with one another or with single atoms to produce neutral substances. In the question given above, the two compounds given in option C have the same type of radical, which is hydroxyl radical.
