Persistence length for a cytoskeletal filament is the minimum filament length at which random thermal fluctuations are likely to

cause it to bend. Which of the following comparisons are true, considering the persistence lengths of (a) an actin filament, (b) a bundle of cross-linked actin filaments, and (c) a microtubule

The provided question is incomplete as the group of choices were not given, however, the choices as follows:

A. (a > b) and (a > c)

B. (a > b) and (a < c)

C. (a < b) and (a > c)

D. (a < b) and (a < c)

E. (a > b) and (b > c)

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. (a < b) and (a < c)

Explanation:

The persistent length of actin filaments,  a bundle of cross-linked actin filaments and microtubules can be compared on their typical persistent length.

The persistent length of actin filaments is 15 µm. And due to the crosslink with one another to make a bundle their length reduced  As the actin filaments cross-link each other their persistent length will be reduced. however, it is still longer than single actin filament around 20 nm.

The persistent length of microtubules is 6mm.

So b > a, a < b and a < c.

So fourth option a < c and b > a is the correct answer.

Cadherin clusters of adherens junctions _____________. 1) connect the external environment to the actin cytoskeleton 2) do NOT r
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Option-1 and 3

Explanation:

Cadherin is the protein complex present in the cell which is responsible for the sticking together of cell in tissue-like in the skin. The cadherin junctions allow the communication between the cells and the loss of the cadherin could cause cancer.

The cadherin junction is involved in the signalling pathway in the cells like in the Rho GTPase signalling, Ras signalling and many others which shows that they are responsible for the biological processes in an organism.

Thus, Option-1 and 3 are correct.

The digestion of polypeptides begins in the mouth with the enzyme pepsin. T/F
lana66690 [7]

The answer is:

False

Here is why:

What makes this statement false is "mouth." Polypeptide digestion starts in the stomach and it ends in the small intestine, in the duodenum to be more specific. Polypeptides cannot be directly absorbed by the body, so they are broken down into either individual amino acids, dipeptides or tripeptides so they can be absorbed.

Which season is the Southern Hemisphere experiencing in the picture?
dlinn [17]

Answer: Summer

Explanation: When the southern hemisphere is closest to the sun, and it receives the most sunlight it is summer time, while in the northern hemisphere it's winter.

The main factor that determines seasons is the way sun rays enter Earth, and not as much proximity, since there is only a 2% variation in the distance overall
