Answer:

Our body is constitute of several essential molecules such as proteins, fat, carbohydrate, water, and other molecules.

Each molecule has some of the impact of other molecules in the body. Impact of water and other molecules on proteins inside the body are as follows:

Proteins have ligand-binding site and water provide stability to the ligand-binding site of proteins through its hydrogen bonds.
Conformational flexibility and transitions of proteins are due to the presence of water molecules in it.
Disbalance in the pH of body due to changing concentration of sodium-potassium ions can denature the protein.
Enzymes present in the body can control the rate of formation of proteins in the body.

Part A What is a telomere? What is a telomere? the mechanism that holds two sister chromatids together the ends of linear chromo

GrogVix [38]

Answer: B the ends of linear chromosomes.

Explanation:

Based on structure, telomeres are located at the end of chromosomes; they are protective caps that bind the genes at the end of the chromosomes in order to prevent it from interchromosomal fusion (clumping) and degradation (broken down). Simply, they serve the same role as plastic caps to the tip of shoe laces; preventing it from unraveling.

Generally, telomeres becomes short in length with time. At this stage they become weaken, and breaks down. The affected the cells basic replication activites, and therefore the functions. These non-functioning cells accumulated in body organs, and made them to degenerate .This reduced longevity, leading to death of cells. However the shortening of the length is an advantage to prevent the spread of cancer in cells because I naturally stops the uncontrivable growth of cells

Therefore the longer the length of telomeres at the genome end of chromosomes, the higher the rate of replication of the concerned cells, and hence the increase in the age of the cell

Waves crash against the shores of an island, creating beaches and gullies. In this scenario, what is the primary landform and wh

luda_lava [24]

Answer: (A) Primary landform: island, secoundary landform: beach gully.

Explanation: When waves crash, onshore they can make a significant impact on the landscape by shifting entire islands of sand and carving out rocky coastlines. Storm waves can even move boulders the size of cars above the high tide line, leaving massive boulder hundreds of feet inland. Wind is not the only cause of wild waves even tsunamis do, a tsunami is a wave created by a disturbance that displaces a large amount of water, like an earthquake or a landslide, and they often occur in clusters or sets.
