Individuals without AFS have a glutamic acid at position 487 on the ALDH2 protein, whereas individuals with AFS have a lysine at

this position. Using what you determined in 1.2, provide a plausible chemical explanation justifying why the properties of the enzyme could be so drastically altered by this single amino acid substitution. Keep in mind that the enzyme has two substrates, one of which is acetaldehyde and the other is NADH or NAD+

Answer:

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme required to eliminate toxins such as acetaldehyde and alcohol, thereby mutations in this protein may be associated with the Alcohol flush syndrome (AFS)

Explanation:

ALDH2 is a protein required for ATP generation by catalyzing the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids (i.e., oxidation of NADH to NAD+). Mutations in the ALDH2 gene have been associated with the inactive form of this enzyme, and this specific mutation at position 487 alters its enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of acetaldehyde and alcohol. This amino acid substitution may lead to the active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme.

How are fossil fuels used in the harvesting of fresh apples from an apple tree?
lys-0071 [83]

The correct answer is option B

The use of fossil fuel in harvesting of apples lies at the stage when the apples fall from the tree. When there lots of apple that has to fall from the tree and picked up for sorting. Monster machines are used for the shaking of trees vigorously so that lots of apple fall at a same time. This machine use fossil fuel for its working.

A muscle cell with high concentration of carbon dioxide and a low concentration of oxygen is surrounded by blood with a high con
labwork [276]

Option C is correct.

<h3>What do you mean by muscle cell?</h3>

The cells that make up muscular tissue are referred to as myocytes or muscle cells.

No oxygen is used during anaerobic respiration, hence less energy is released. During intense exercise, the glucose molecule splits into two molecules of lactic acid, which accumulate in the muscles. When the bloodstream cannot provide oxygen quickly enough for aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration takes place.

The option missing is the query is given below:

A. Carbon dioxide will move into the cell by diffusion.

B. Carbon dioxide and oxygen will move out of the cell by osmosis.

C. Oxygen will move into the cell by diffusion.

D. Oxygen and carbon dioxide will move into the cell by osmosis.

What is bacteria flagellum? What is made of and its function? What type of organization can flagella have on cells?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.

A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.

The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.

In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.
