An adult giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) has a heart that lies approximately 2 m below the top of the head when its neck is ful

ly extended. Calculate the minimum diastolic pressure that a giraffe must have (in mm Hg). Hint: what is the absolute minimum blood pressure a giraffe could have at the very top of its head

Answer:

159.01 mmHg

Explanation:

position of Heart = 2m  below the top of the head  given that the neck is fully extended

<u>Determine the minimum diastolic pressure </u>

Minimum diastolic Pressure = 1060 kg/m^3 * 10 m/s^2 * 2m

                                               = 21200 kg/m^2

convert the value to Pa

21200 kg/m^2 = 21200 Pa

( 1 pa = 0.00750062 mmHg )

Therefore : minimum diastolic pressure = 21200 * 0.00750062 = 159.01 mmHg

Describe the effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases is that it binds to the RNA polymerases, and reduces the process of translocation which is essential for RNA synthesis that is required for RNA polymerases elongation.

Explanation:

Amanitin is a peptide that is cyclic in nature. It is repelled by water thereby making it an hydrophobic peptide.

Amanitin is a toxic peptide that is found in Amanita ( a type of mushroom).

Alpha Amanitin in particular is the one that affects the elongation rate of RNA Polymerases in the body.

When Alpha Amanitin gets into the body system, it travels straight to the liver and due to its very strong affinity for RNA polymerases, it immediately attaches itself to them.

After the attachment, Alpha Amanitin, is disturbs the bridge helix found in RNA polymerase, preventing the hindering and slowing down the proces of translocation from happening.

Once translocation is hindered, RNA is no longer synthesized. Hence, the elongation of RNA polymerases is hindered and this results in severe illness in the body such as liver failure, cytolysis of the liver
