If a myostatin protein is not the right shape, it cannot fit correctly into a cells receptor true or false

<h2>This answer would be false</h2>

Explanation: Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8, abbreviated GDF8) is a myokine, a protein produced and released by myocytes that acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle cell growth. In humans it is encoded by the MSTN gene.[6] Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family.[7][8]

Therefore, if the myostatin protein is smaller than a microorganism it would be able to fit into the receptor.

Select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Check All That Apply
Rudik [331]

Answer:

All the given statements are correct except b.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.

It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.

There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:

  1. Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
  2. Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
  3. Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of  para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
  4. Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
  5. Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased

What do paleontologists do when they uncover incomplete fossils
dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Paleontologists are scientists that study the history/existence of past lives by collecting and examining fossils. They use these fossils to determine the history and age an organism has existed. Fossils are remains of dead organisms (plants and animals) which serve as evidence of past lives that have existed on earth in the past. They could include bone remains or footprint of this animals.

Fossils (from bones) are however mostly incomplete because they decompose before they are "stored naturally" by sediments which covers them. When scientists discover this incomplete fossils, they are compared (if there has been similar fossils discovered before then) and are stored and transferred to the lab for examination. This examination includes anatomical comparison (to determine relatedness with other fossils/organisms), carbon dating (to determine age) and data comparison (which includes location and type of soil and habitat).
