(4pts) Drugs, medicines, and poisons often work by acting on endogenous proteins. They do this by looking similar to a signal mo

lecule and binding to the endogenous protein. Look up these four examples to fill in this chart. Drug, medicine, or poison Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: Muscarine Acetylcholine muscarinic receptors Prozac Serotonin serotonin transporter protein Ketamine NMDA NMDA receptor Tamoxifen estrogen estrogen receptor

Answer:

Drug, medicine, or poison: Muscarine; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: Acetylcholine; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: muscarinic receptors

Drug, medicine, or poison: Tamoxifen; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: estrogen; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: estrogen receptor

Drug, medicine, or poison: Prozac; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: Serotonin; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: serotonin transporter protein

Drug, medicine, or poison: Ketamine; Looks similar to this endogenous molecule: NMDA; Binds to this endogenous protein/receptor: NMDA receptor

Explanation:

Muscarine is a poisonous natural product found in certain mushrooms. It is similar to acetylcholine and competes with acetylcholine at its receptor binding sites.Signs of muscarine poisoning include salivation, lacrimation, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bradycardia, etc.

Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. It is similar to estrogen and acts by inhibiting the effects of estrogen in the breast tissue. It is used to prevent and treat breast cancer in men and women.

Prozac is an antidepressant which belongs to th class known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It looks similar to serotonin and inhibits its action by competing with serotonin for its binding site. It is used for the treatment of depression disorders.

Ketamine is an NMDA (N-Methyl-D-aspartate) receptor antagonist. NMDA receptor antagonists are a class of drugs that work by inhibiting the action of the NMDA receptor. They are commonly used as anesthetics for animals and humans to induce a state of anesthesia known as dissociative anesthesia.

Put these steps in the order in which they occur in light-dependent reactions. Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to
Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

  1. Light energy is absorbed and transferred to the reaction center.
  2. A water molecule is split.
  3. Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to photosystem I.
  4. ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of  a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

  • Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule.
  • Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
  • the electron moves down an electron transport chain (ti PS I)where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
  • ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule  ATP.
  • The electron gets to photosystem I where it  goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
  • in the ETC,  the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Serggg [28]

The answer is it will allow the water to expand and break the cell wall.  Lysozyme, one of the most powerful natural antibacterial and antiviral compounds known to man, has been used in foods and pharmaceuticals for over three decades as it naturally inhibits the growth.
