An actin-binding protein called cofilin binds preferentially to ADP-containing actin filaments rather than ATP-containing actin

filaments. Based on this preference, which is true? Question 7 options: Cofilin binds to the plus ends of treadmilling actin filaments. Cofilin competes with profilin for binding to actin. Cofilin binds to older actin filaments. Cofilin binds to the plus ends of actin filaments.

Answer:

Cofilin binds to older actin filaments

Explanation:

Microfilaments (also called actin filaments) are a class of protein filament common to all eukaryotic cells, which consist of two strands of subunits of the protein actin. Microfilaments form part of the cell's cytoskeleton and interact with the protein myosin in order to allow the movement of the cell. Within the cell, actin may show two different forms: monomeric G-actin and polymeric F-actin filaments. Microfilaments provide shape to the cell because these filaments can depolymerize (disassemble) and polymerize (assembly) quickly, thereby allowing the cell to change its shape. During the polymerization process, the ATP that is bound to G-actin is hydrolyzed to ADP, which is bound to F-actin. ATP-actin subunits are present at the barbed ends of the filaments, and cleavage of the ATP molecules produces highly stable filaments bound to ADP. In consequence, it is expected that cofilin binds preferentially to highly stable (older) filaments ADP-actin filaments instead of ATP-actin filaments.

In order for medicine X to produce the effects that the researchers observed it must have entered into which part of the target
NeTakaya

Answer:

The correct option is option C, nucleus

Explanation:

As the scenario described in the question, the medicine X functions on the DNA as it's characteristic shows that it is damaging the DNA. The DNA is present inside the nucleus of a cell. Hence, for a medicine to function on the DNA, the medicine must enter the nucleus of the cell as it is the location where the DNA is present.

Other options like, option D, is not correct because the process of conversion of mRNA into proteins takes place in the ribosomes and DNA is not present there.

What are the products of photosynthesis?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: During the process of photosynthesis plants break apart the reactants of carbon dioxide and water and recombine them to produce oxygen (O2) and a form of sugar called glucose (C6H12O6).

How does the rock cycle affect the water cycle, no explanations from the internet please!
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

by breaking it down

Explanation:

Rocks are some of the hardest solids in the world, but they don't stay that way forever. Although it seems as if something as gentle as water can't be of harm, when in large amounts it has a very strong effect. Forces such as wind and water break down rocks through the processes of weathering and erosion, which is how the rock cycle affects the water cycle.
