Essential amino acids are the ones that your body can’t make on its own. These are ones that come from food and need to be obtained in order to survive. Your body needs these acids because they are like building blocks of proteins and they’re needed for vital processes like building proteins and synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.

Hope this helps

Amino acids make up proteins, and proteins are needed for proper growth in humans. They’re essential because, without them we wouldn’t have the nutrients we need to survive. I hope this helped!

Juliette [100K]

Answer: Both the mouse and human beings are encoding the proteins having similar functions.

Explanation:

The CFTR gene in the mouse and CFTR gene in the human beings encode proteins that perform similar function,this is so because if the results are same then it means that both mouse and human beings are encoding the protein that have similar function.

Option A is incorrect  because both humans and mouse are eukaryotes so they have introns and because of that even if the gene sequences are different they can still encode protein.

Option B is incorrect because  amino acid sequences can be similar inorder to have the similar function. If glutamic acid is replaced by aspartic acid, it won't have different function the function will remain same. So, identical amino acid sequences are not required. They can be similar too.

The light-harvesting complexes of a chloroplast are located in the ________; the enzymes of the calvin cycle reactions are locat
BartSMP [9]

The light-harvesting complexes of a chloroplast are located in the thylakoid membrane.

The enzymes of the calvin cycle reactions are located in the stroma.

Chloroplast, found in plant cells and some protists such as algae and cyanobacteria, is a cell organelle known as a plastid. Chloroplasts are oval-shaped and have two membranes: an outer membrane and an inner membrane.

The enzymes required during the calvin cyle reaction are present in the stroma while, thylakoid System is the internal membrane system consisting of flattened sac-like membrane structures called thylakoids where light energy is converted into chemical energy. Thylakoids contain the light-harvesting complex, including the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids.

If we inserted an anabolic Tryptophan (trp) operon with GFP for amino acid synthesis instead, what would happen if we grew the b
nignag [31]

Answer:

Since there is presence of excess tryptophan, the trp operon will be switched off, since the bacterial need not to synthesize.

Explanation:

Understand the following.

The trp operon is a group of gene that encode biosynthetic enzymes for the amino acid tryptophan.

The transcription gene in the operon is switched off when the tryptophan is in excess but is switched on by the bacterium when the tryptophan is low, so that more tryptophan can be produced.
