Why phage is consider as a nanomachine? ​

Biology
1 answer:
kolezko [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

phages are non-living biological entities that can produce numerous copies of themselves, forming ordered three-dimensional structures on a nanometre scale

Explanation:

A phage (i.e., a bacteriophage), is a virus capable of infecting and replicating within bacteria. Bacteriophages are composed of proteins forming a capsid that encapsulates the genetic material (either DNA or RNA genome), which may contain a variable number of genes. Bacteriophages, and viruses in general, can be considered nanomachines capable of producing numerous copies of themselves with high fidelity by utilizing the molecular machinery of the host bacterial cell. In biotechnology, it has been proposed to exploit the knowledge about bacteriophage reproduction to design diverse nanostructures.

How does deforestation effect the oxygen cycle
sladkih [1.3K]

Trees remove some of this carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis and store that carbon in their tissues and in the soil. Deforestation reduces the removal component of this cycle, further increasing the carbon dioxide in the air. This results in an increase in temperature, an effect known as global warming.

Briefly describe the properties of lipid bilayers and how this dictates membrane permeability. Be sure to mention which types of
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Lipid bilayer can be defined as a polar membrane, which composes two layers, made up of lipid molecules. It shows both hydrophobic (due to non-polar tails of lipid molecules) and hydrophilic (due to polar heads of lipid molecules) nature, and hence is known as of amphipathic nature.

Lipid bilayer shows selective permeability as not all molecules can cross the lipid bilayer. It can pass non-polar, small, uncharged molecules due to its hydrophobic core, such as oxygen, water, urea.

On the other hand, polar, large, or charged molecules, such as glucose, amino acids, and ions cannot pass through lipid bilayer. These molecules require transport proteins for their transport, which are embedded in lipid bilayer.

he lipid bilayer has unique properties. They are formed in sheet-like structures that contain both a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic moiety. The membrane is composed of lipids and proteins and sometimes even carbohydrates. There are two different membrane proteins in the lipid bilayer.
