The conserved residues in the hemoglobins and myoglobins include the ________ proximal and distal to the heme iron.

Biology
1 answer:
Ilya [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Histidine

Explanation:

A heme group is a prosthetic group composed of a protoporphyrin ring and an iron (Fe) atom that binds to oxygen (O2) in hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein in red blood cells (erythrocytes) that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, which is composed of four polypeptide chains, each with a heme group. Moreover, myoglobin is a monomeric protein located mainly in the muscles, which contains one heme group, being thus similar to hemoglobin monomers. The proximal and distal are evolutionarily conserved amino acid (histidine) residues whose names (proximal and distal) refer to their position with the iron (Fe) atom in the heme group. The proximal histidine connects the heme group with the proteins (either in monomeric myoglobin or in one subunit of Hb), whereas distal histidine contributes to stabilize these proteins while carrying O2.

What would be the best explanation for why myelinated fibers conduct signals faster than unmyelinated fibers?
Sliva [168]

Answer: The diffusion of ions along the axoplasm is faster,in myelinated compare to unmyelinated,

Neurons are the structural and functioning units of nervous system.They are the vehicles for transmission of impulses as electrical signals from one part of the cells,and from one part of the body to another.

The basic structural components of a typical neuron are the cellbody, the axon, and the dendrites.

Based on structure neurons are classified as myelinated and unmyelinated.This is based on the the surrounding layer of myelin sheath around the axon. The myelin provides the insulating layer for the axon.And ensures fast movement of impluses.

In myelinated neurons the myelin sheath are interrupted at intervals by gaps along the length of the axon called Nodes of Ranvier. These gaps contains more Na-K channels for influx and out-flux of K and Na+ ions for transmission of impulses.

The cytoplasm of axon is called axoplasm,Since this is surrounded by myelin sheath which contains Na-K+ channels,The rate of diffusion of ions along  these channels is faster for depolarization to take place than in unmyelinated neurons. Inaddtion as these ions  diffusion increases,its jump faster at the nodes of Ranvier (saltatory conduction) to the next axoplasm which further speed up the rate of transmission.

Unmyeinated lacks myelin sheath,therefore the exchange and  the rate of diffusion of ions along the axons is low.

Jobisdone [24]
You could argue with the fact that a common worker was allowed their own burial tomb. Back in ancient Egypt few were rich enough to have a Tomb built. Also the tomb seams to be a graveyard, which implies that this is a place specifically designated for the dead, which were usually not tombs but in places closer to town.
