Answer:
Explanation:
The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.
Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule. This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.
Nitrogen is a major component by which plants use sun energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide. (It is also a major component of amino acids)
Answer: Loss of biodiversity appears to affect ecosystems as much as climate change, pollution and other major forms of environmental stress, according to results of a new study by an international research team. ... Studies over the last two decades demonstrated that more biologically diverse ecosystems are more productive.hope this helps:)!
Serotonin and n<span>orepinephrine.
Serotonin decreases appetite by activating </span>5-HT2C receptors<span> on dopamine-producing cells which will cause dopamine release to stop. Dopamine is responsible for the increase of appetite, therefore, serotonin decreases appetite.
Norepinephrine by increasing the production of glucose it also causes the body to feel satiety and, therefore, decreases the appetite.</span>
Answer:
In order for a fracture to heal, the bones must be held in the correct position and protected. Soon after a fracture occurs, the body acts to protect the injured area, and forms a protective blood clot and callus around the fracture. New "threads" of bone cells start to grow on both sides of the fracture line.
