Protein
Proteins are the most versatile
macromolecules in living systems and they play important roles in essentially
all biological processes. Protein makes up the capsid of a virus. The infective
extracellular form of a virus known as a virion contains at
least one unique protein synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid of
that virus. In almost all viruses, at least one of these proteins forms a shell
(called a capsid) around the nucleic acid. Certain viruses also have other
proteins internal to the capsid. Some of these proteins act as enzymes during
the synthesis of viral nucleic acids.
They convert carbon into other 'waste' products like oxygen. To put it simply it removes carbon from the carbon cycle.
Answer:
16.66 %
Explanation:
The receptors that are bound with the ligand can be calculated by the formula as follows:
Kd = [R] [L]/[RL]
Here, Kd is dissociation constant = 1.5 mM
R is free receptor concentration = 10 mM
L is free ligand concentration = 2.5 mM
The values needs to be constitute to find the percentage of receptors that are bound to ligand.
Put all the values
1.5 = 10 × 2.5 / RL or RL = 25 /1.5
So RL = 16.66
Hence 16.66 % of receptor is bound to substrate.
Thus, the answer is 16.66%
The correct answer is option d, that is, leak channels.
The cell membrane comprises protein channels known as leak channels, which permits sodium and potassium ions to leak down their concentration gradients. The membranes of the cell are significantly more permeable to potassium ions in comparison to the sodium ions, due to the presence of more K+ leak channels than Na+ leaks channels.
