<span><span>anonymous </span> 3 years ago</span>Proteins are involved in almost all of the cell's functions. They can act as:
Transportation: they can transport hydrophobic molecules in blood for example
Regulation: protein hormones and enzymes
Receptor: can act as receptors on cell surface and in the subsequent signal transduction (G-protein for instance)
It is true that all proteins are made up of up to 20 amino acids, but there are several reasons for their diverse actions:
-One reason is the possible sequence and number of amino acids: Met-Ser-His is different from Met-His-Ser for example. Besides, you have different chain length, for a protein is made up of long chain of polypeptide (longer than 50-70 amino acids) and can have any of the 20 amino acids with repetition, so using simple probability, this can provide up to practically unlimited combination with proteins that have chains of thousands of amino acids.
-Another very crucial reason for the diversity of protein action is the conformation. A protein passes by at least 3 conformational stages before becoming mature. The straight amino acid chain is the primary structure of the protein that can never be active. Spatial modification of this primary structure results in a secondary structure, Helix or Beta-pleated sheets (or other coiling structure), that is also inactive. Further coiling and bending of the secondary structure produce a 3-dimentional conformation that is the active form of the protein. Moreover, many proteins can undergo further conformational rearrangement and combination with other protein sub-units producing a quaternary structure.
What forms when one oceanic plate is forced beneath another plate is C. a subduction zone.
The name itself can explain it all - the prefix sub- in Latin means 'under,' and given that beneath and under mean the same, subduction zone is the answer you should pick. The other options do not show such a relationship which is why they are wrong.
Methionine is the first Amino acid in eukaryotic translation.
<h3>What is Amino Acid?</h3>
Amino acid are building blocks of protein.
Amino acid are classified as either essential or non essential Amino acids.
Examples of Amino acid are methionine, lysine,leuscine and so on.
Methionine is a type of essential Amino acids that is found in eukaryotic animals.
It help in metabolism and health in species of animals.
Eukaryotic animals have tRNA that help to recognise the start of codons and it insert methionine and making it the first Amino acids.
Therefore, Methionine is the first Amino acid in eukaryotic.

The
correct answer is The person would develop low blood pressure and feel faint
because the heart will be pumping less blood with each heartbeat.
<span>
The thickening of the heart muscle may block
blood flow out of the ventricle which then must work hard to pump blood. As a
result, the symptoms can include chest pain, dizziness or fainting.</span>
Answer:
Variation, in biology, any difference between cells, individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused either by genetic differences (genotypic variation) or by the effect of environmental factors on the expression of the genetic potentials (phenotypic variation). Variation may be shown in physical appearance, metabolism, fertility, mode of reproduction, behaviour, learning and mental ability, and other obvious or measurable characters.
chromosomes or by differences in the genes carried by the chromosomes. Eye colour, body form, and disease resistance are genotypic variations. Individuals with multiple sets of chromosomes are called polyploid; many common plants have two or more times the normal number of chromosomes, and new species may arise by this type of variation. A variation cannot be identified as genotypic by observation of the organism; breeding experiments must be performed under controlled environmental conditions to determine whether or not the alteration is inheritable.
Genotypic variations are caused by differences in number or structure of Environmentally caused variations may result from one factor or the combined effects of several factors, such as climate, food supply, and actions of other organisms. Phenotypic variations also include stages in an organism’s life cycle and seasonal variations in an individual. These variations do not involve any hereditary alteration and in general are not transmitted to future generations; consequently, they are not significant in the process of evolution.
