Prokaryotes have a significant role in decomposition of organic matter, bringing back key nutrients into the trophic network. By decomposing dead plant or animal parts, they enable the circulation of elements like phosphorus and sodium.
On the other hand, specialized bacteria have a role in transforming nitrogen compounds in the soil, converting them into chemical forms that are suitable for other organisms to use.
Answer:
false
Explanation:
because there are many minerals such as gold
Answer and Explanation:
the total length of the gene is 6,000 base pairs (or) 6.0 kb and it has five exons, four introns and a 1,000 base pair length flanking region for the transcribed region.
Hence, each exon has (1500/5) = 300 by
each intron has (3500/4) = 875 by and
flanking segment (5' and 3') length for the transcribed region would be (1000/2) = 500 bp.
The gene segment is as shown in the <em>1st diagram attached below </em>
In eukaryotes, transcription takes place in the nucleus which results in the synthesis of hnRNA (heteronuclear ribonucleic acid). This hnRNA (pre-RNA) has both introns and exons, however when it is synthesized or while it is being synthesized the Spliceosomal complex removes introns from hnRNA and becomes converted into mRNA (messenger RNA) in the nucleus itself.
(<em>second diagram explains further)</em>
Now the synthesized mRNA reaches the cytoplasm. So, if mRNA collected from the nucleus and cytoplasm will have the same length of about 2,500 base pairs only. Therefore, after the commencement of northern blot analysis both mRNA will yield the same kind of result and have unique length.
Replacing lysine with aspartic acid is really a change in the primary structure (the sequence of the amino acids - think in a chain). But because they are really different amino acids, the effect is much more profound and will affect the tertiary structure of the protein.
Lysine has a basic, positively charged side chain. Aspartic acid has a negatively charged carboxyl group for its side chain. So, they are two very different amino acids.
Since the tertiary structure of a protein is a result of the interactions of the various interactions of the amino acid side chains, you have to think about what a swap of a basic positive amino acid with a negatively charged amino acid could cause.
For example, if the lysine side chain interacted in ionic interactions (i.e. attraction to a negatively charged amino acid), if you swap it for aspartic acid which is negatively charged it will now repel the other amino acid's side chain and that would disrupt the tertiary structure of the protein. It would also likely cause disruption to the quaternary structure as well.
If this change was in an important part of the protein (e.g. the active site of an enzyme) then it would likely disrupt the proper functioning of this protein.
If you wanted to make the least amount of change to a protein by making a mutation to that lysine amino acid, you would choose other basic amino acids which are histidine and arginine.
You could say the three hyenas who were (shenzi, Banzai, and Ed) were the heterotrophs in the lion king ..... heterotrophs are organisms that get there food from other organisms meaning they don't make there own food.....
