A bacteria cell differs from a plant or animal cell by being less complex in structure.
Answer:
A) Calcitonin injection
Explanation:
Parafollicular cells or C-cells of the thyroid gland produce a hormone which is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood. This hormone is Calcitonin. It works in an antagonistic manner with the Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Calcitonin decreases the calcium level in the blood by increasing absorption of calcium ions in bones. In osteoporosis, when the patient is given the injection of hormone calcitonin, it produces and increase in bone mass because it negatively affects the rate of absorption of bone by the osteoclasts.
Answer:
A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.
B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.
C. Prions are proteins.
Explanation:
Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.
Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.
Answer:
The correct answer is - carboxyl group.
Explanation:
Lipids are one of the major macromolecules that are made up of fatty acid and carboxyl groups as two main parts of the molecules. The most common type of lipid is formed with the glycerol associated with the fatty acid chain.
In the provided structure the circled part is the carboxyl group with the long fatty acid chain. However, glycerol belongs to the alcohol group.
Thus, the correct answer is - carboxyl group.
They flow in all directions
