Answer:

Proteins range in molecular weight from 1000 to more than 1 million daltons (Da), but the folded size of a globular protein is not necessary correlated to its molecular weight. Proteins composed of about 250 amino acids or less often have a simple, compact globular shape. Larger globular proteins are usually made up of two or more recognizable and distinct structures, termed domains or modules. These are compact, folded protein structures that are usually stable by themselves in aqueous solution. Typical domain structures consist of hydrophobic cores with hydrophilic surfaces. Individual domains often possess unique functional behaviors and often perform unique functions within the larger protein in which they are found.

Which two species are likely to have the most similar dna base sequences?

saul85 [17]

Based on the attached Image;
The two species that are likely to have the most similar DNA base sequences are C and D.
An evolutionary tree or a phylogenetic tree, like the one shown on the image is used to indicate which ancestors gave rise to which descendants. The tree represents the evolutionary relationships among a set of organisms or groups of organisms, called taxa. The tips of the tree represents groups of descendant taxa and the nodes represents the common ancestors of these descendants.

The poison cyanide binds to the last complex of the electron transport chain and prevents it from accepting electrons. Assuming

Marianna [84]

Answer:

ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will stop.

Explanation:

Cyanide inhibits cytochrome oxidase that passes electrons to the molecule oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase also pumps two protons from the matrix to the intermembrane space during electron transfer. Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase would not allow the transfer of electrons to oxygen and the whole electron transport chain would be stopped. There would not be any generation of proton concentration gradient to drive the process of ATP synthesis. Hence, ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation will be stopped after cyanide poisoning in aerobic cells.
