Protein microarrays, an emerging class of proteomic technologies, are fast becoming critical tools in biochemistry and molecular biology. Two classes of protein microarray are currently available: analytical and functional protein microarrays. Analytical protein microarrays, most antibody microarrays, have become one of the most powerful multiplexed detection technologies. Functional protein microarrays are being increasingly applied to many areas of biological discovery, including studies of protein interaction, biochemical activity, and immune responses. Great progress has been achieved in both classes of protein microarrays in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and expanded application.
Answer: If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation would not occur and that would mean that there would be a lack of nitrogen and it wouldn't be able to sustain life. Since nitrogen is an essential element in every amino acid, that also means in every protein. It essential to life and without it life would mostly likely not exist.<span />
Answer:
This question lacks options, however, it can be answered based on general understanding of forest layers.
The difference in photosynthetic rate is as a result of the amount of sunlight received by plants in the canopy and the forest floor.
Explanation:
Canopy of a forest refers to the collection of the crowns of trees found above the ground layer of a forest while the forest floor is the ground level of the forest. Plants that grow in the canopy are directly exposed to sunlight and receives most of the light from the sun while plants that grow in the forest floor are least exposed to sunlight as the crowns of the plants in the canopy covers/masks them.
Based on this, the rate at which the plants in the canopy layer photosynthesize will he higher than that of the plants in the forest floor because the amount of sunlight is a determinant of the photosynthetic rate.
Gypsy moth can be contolled through;
- Maintaining a clean yard
- Using Gypsy moth traps
- Using less toxic botanic insectside such as natural pesticides
- Using a Tanglefoot paste barrier.
