The CFTR protein is made up of 1,480 amino acids linked together in a chain. Some

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The answer is D) It will affect the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of the CFTR protein.

Explanation:

The deletion of phenylalanine (F) in position 508 or F508, disrupts the sequence of amino acids and polypeptides, as seen in the primary structure.

It also affects the secondary structure since it can alter the folding or kinks of the alpha-helices or beta-sheets of the local polypeptide chain.

For the tertiary structures, it will affect the overall shape of the CFTR protein, and ultimately, alter its function in the body which is to produce thin, free-flowing mucus in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive system, etc.

<h3>What is the CFTR Protein?</h3>

Normally, the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein functions as a membrane channel protein that transports negatively-charged ions, such as chloride ions, in and out of the cell. It also transports water which is used to form thin, free-flowing mucus seen in the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems. It can also influence other channels to regulate the entry of sodium ions across plasma membranes seen in the pancreas and lungs.

The CFTR protein mutation found in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is present in almost 70% of CF patients. The mutation alters the structure of the chloride ion channel and movement of chloride ions and water in and out of the cell. Thus, impairing the production of mucus, which is characteristically sticky and thick seen in Cystic Fibrosis.

How energy is changed from radiant energy (sunlight) into chemical energy your body uses (atp)?

Olin [163]

Photosynthesis is the process plantsuse to convert energy from the sun into usable energy for their cells. ...ATP and NADPH provide the energyneeded for the next energytransformation. The plant cells thenuse the ATP and NADPH to assemble molecules of carbon dioxide and other carbon
chains into glucose molecules.

PLS HELP15. Scientists use a system called binomial nomenclature to classify organisms. For example, the

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. Carassius is a group of different organisms with similar structures, while auratus is a smaller group of members that can only breed with another auratus.

Explanation:

Carassius signifies the name of genus. In binomial terminology it is the generic name shared by the collection of nearby families. In this case, Carassius is a genus in the family of ray-finned fishes. Auratus signifies the types of the fish and it is detailed exclusive epithet within the type. Carassius is a type in the ray-finned fish family Cyprinidae. Maximum types in this genus are usually identified as crucian carps, however this tenure often precisely denotes to C. carassius. The most well known is the goldfish (C. auratus).
