Answer:

DNA is first checked during the G1/S. This is when the integrity of DNA is checked to make sure it's correct and ready to be replicated in the S phase. If the DNA fails the check, it can leave the cell cycle or enter a resting phase called G0, where it stays until the DNA is corrected. Any damage is fixed by proteins, the key one being the p53 protein, a tumor suppressor. It works by halting the cell cycle and activating repair proteins. If the damage is irreparable, it initiates apoptosis, programmed cell death, to prevent the damaged DNA from replicating and dividing into cells. If this gene is missing or mutated, damaged cells continue to replicated rapidly and lead to the rise of tumors and thus cancer. If nothing is wrong or the errors are fixed, the G1/S checkpoint gives the green light, to allow DNA to replicate. The now replicated chromosomes are once again checked in the G2 checkpoint. Here, they're checked again for integrity and whether or not replication occurred correctly. If the DNA fails these checks, the cell once again attempts to fix the problems. If these problems aren't corrected due to mutations in the repair proteins, the cells containing the damaged chromosomes will continue to replicate rapidly and cause cancer. Should no problems occur, cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are activated and allow the cell to continue into mitosis. DNA damage can basically lead to the rapid division of mutated cells and cancer.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Ph that is below or above the optimal range will result in enzyme activity loss.  if the pH changes above or below optimum range affects the charges that is present on the amino acid molecules. Amino acids presrnt in the active  site of enzymes that attracted each other may no longer continue to be attracted. Again, the shape of the active site of the enzyme changes due to the substrate binding will be affected. conclusively, we can say that the enzymes are denatured.

b) researchers are most likely to use a negative control when measuring the rate of reaction in the presence of each organisms. enolase is controlled  with no enzyme.

c) c) Since the C.aurantiacus grows best at 550C , we can say that the enzymes that they produce must be at this temperature and so they must be sensitive to this temperature ; hence they would show more activity at 550C temperature.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a. vitamin d and vitamin b12

Explanation:

Vitamins are groups of organic compounds that are essential in small quantities for healthy human growth, metabolism, development, and body function. Vitamins are found in plants and animal foods or sometimes produced synthetically. Deficiencies of specific vitamins produce specific disorders. Vitamin d and vitamin b12 are important vitamins that the body needs. The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight and it is very essential for strong bones, while vitamin b12 is naturally present in meats. Deficiency of vitamin d in the body can result in bone problems (including teeth) and it has also been linked to depression. Vitamin b12 deficiency can also affect mental functions by causing disorientation, memory loss, depression and confusion.  

From the question, the elderly woman may be developing a deficiency of vitamin d and vitamin b12.
