Answer:

Explanation:

Actually the haemoglobin molecule consists of 2 parts, the haem which is a prosthetic group and the other globin which is a protein. So the haemoglobin as is a protein so, is arranged in quaternary structure of protein which contains 4 subunits. The subunits depend upon the organism whose haemoglobin is being talked about. So the normal haemoglobin found in red blood cells contains 2 alpha subunits + 2 beta subunits. At the centre of each subunit there is the haem part attached. To the centre of haem the Fe3+ ion are present which actually attaches to 1 Oxygen molecule. So as 4 subunits are present and each subunit has 1 Fe3+ ion, so total 4 Oxygen molecules can bind to the 1 Hb molecule!!

The ATP that is generated in glycolysis is produced by substrate-level phosphorylation, a very different mechanism than the one

belka [17]

Answer: Phosphorylation reactions involve the addition of a phosphate group to another molecule called ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

Explanation:

Phosphorylation can of two kinds:

I) Substrate-level Phosphorylation which occurs when ATP is produced from the phosphorylation of ADP coupled to the loss of hydrogen atoms from an organic substrate

II) Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs when ATP is produced from the phosphorylation of ADP by using proton pump fuelled by the electron transport system.

Note that the difference between both (I and II) is that the former occurs independent of the electron transport system, UNLIKE the latter.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Similarities And Differences:

If a topic, law or scientific research shares the same origin of study, similar to another topic or term, then they will be compared and further analyzed by the team of scientists and research workers in order to have some conclusions and results.

Explanation:

As there are many scientific research and analyses which is been carried out in order to analyze the different elements in the process of comparison between any two subjects and terms.

There are various subjects and topics of research work. Many of the scientific research work are in parallel to each other as they are somehow compared by other scientists and research workers.

Mutagens such as pollutants and uv light can cause mutations in dna

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

They take nutrients needed by healthy cells, and as they grow they interfere with the function of normal cells and organs.

Explanation:

Many mutations can lead to the formation of cancer. Cancer can be described as an abnormal type of cell division of the cells of the body. As cancer cells are the cells of the body dividing abnormally, the immune cells fail to fight them. These cells keep on dividing and also disturb the functioning of the neighbouring cells and tissues. They even take up most of the nutrients required by normal body cells hence, being very toxic for the normal cells.
