Answer:

a. The protein is internalized by endocytosis.

b. The A chain binds to clathrin. The B chain interacts with SNARES

c. The A chain stimulates autophagy

d. The protein enters through pore complexes in the plasma membrane.

The correct option is a

The protein is internalized by endocytosis.

Explanation:

The protein is internalized by endocytosis because Ricin is a potent toxin gotten from lecithin. It internalised in the intracellular cell by endocytosis or substances are brought inside the cell and translocated into the cystosol which hereby inhibit protein synthesis and kill the internal cells. These internal toxins are transported to lysosomes for degradation

Pie

Answer:

It is a stenotopic species.

Explanation:

Stenotopic species are well adapted to specific environmental conditions. Stenotopic species can't colonize new environments because they are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions. On the other hand, the eurytopic species can survive and reproduce in a wide range of environments.  

In this case, the geneticist has used a hypothetico-deductive framework, where this butterfly was distinguished by species boundaries based on its sampling distribution.

Crank

Answer:

c) methyltransferase. DNAse.

Explanation:

The way DNA is folded can affect gene expression, or which genes are turned on. When the chromosomes are tightly condensed, the DNA is wrapped very tightly which makes it difficult for transcription factors to bind to the DNA.

dedylja [7]

The answer is LH only. Luteinising hormone promotes the release of an egg from an ovary during ovulation. Follicle Stimulating Hormone, on the other hand,  stimulates the maturation of ovarian follicles. When its levels drop and LH surge, ovulation of a mature egg from the mature follicle occurs.

Describe why some water uses are called consumptive
ella [17]

Answer:

Consumptive rates are so high because water that is applied to a field is considered lost to the immediate water system. It either gets evaporated, used by the plants, or leaves the field as run-off. In addition, leaks or evaporation cause loss while water is being transported from the source to the field, often over great distances.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Since the receptor cells is mutated, the adrenal gland might (depending on the type of mutation) no longer be able to activate the receptor protein which will affect water and sodium flow in the kidney cells. Thus, <u>the flow of the downstream components (water and sodium) will be altered in the kidney which will ultimately affect the blood's volume.</u>
