Answer:

Gene mutations

Low level of transcription

Not enough amino acids

Problems with protein trafficking

Explanation:

Mutations in genes or their surrounding regulatory elements could affect the transcription of the gene or the sequence of the mRNA. For example, mutations in the gene regulatory elements could affect the binding of transcription factors that affect gene transcription. This would in turn affect the abundance of mRNA. Alternatively, a deletion in the gene could result in an incomplete and non-functional protein being produced. While a mutation would only directly affect one protein, it could have a knock on effect on a variety of others

In the nucleus, if gene transcription is low, the cell will not produce enough mRNAs, which are translated into protein. This could happen if, for example, the level of RNA polymerase or another important factor in transcription, are low. If the transcription machinery is not producing enough mRNA, then the protein synthesis machinery in the cytoplasm will not have templates from which to make proteins

Amino acids are important building blocks of proteins. Not all of the amino acids can be produced by the cell, some of them have to be obtained from our diet. For example, valine. If there is not a sufficient pool of valine in the cell, then the tRNA will not be able to deliver valine to the ribosome quickly enough to growing mRNA chains. This means the protein synthesis machinery can't keep up with the demands of the cell, resulting in less protein being synthesised.

The Golgi apparatus is an important organelle in the trafficking of proteins. Proteins reach the Golgi apparatus, and are enclosed in membrane-bound vesicles, where they are delivered to the sites they are required, for example, proteins are secreted outside the cell in this way. A problem with the Golgi apparatus would mean proteins cannot be secreted outside the cell properly. The Golgi apparatus is known to be dysfunctional in Alzheimer's disease, for example.

Pyridoxine contains 11 hydrogen atoms, 8 carbon atoms, 3 oxygen atoms, and 1 nitrogen atom. The chemical formula would be C8H11NO3. A chemical formula of a substance tells the number of atoms of the elements that is involved in the compound. Pyrodoxine is commonly known as vitamin B6. It is mostly found in food like meat, whole grains, nuts and avocados. Also, it is can be present in dietary supplements. It has a number of important functions in the body. Dietary supplements are manufactured to prevent vitamin B6 deficiency. Also, it is used in treating a specific type of anemia or the lack of red blood cells.

the more particles a substance has at a given temperature the more thermal energy it has true or false
Flauer [41]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf True}

Explanation:

Temperature and thermal energy are in a direct proportion which means that if temperature of a substance increases, its thermal energy also increases and vice versa.

Solid aluminum metal reacts with aqueous zinc chloride to produce solid zinc metal and aqueous aluminum chloride
yuradex [85]

Answer:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Al + ZnCl₂    →    Zn + AlCl₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

2Al + 3ZnCl₂    →    3Zn + 2AlCl₃

This is the example of single displacement reaction. Al displace the zinc and form aluminium chloride and zinc metal.

There are two Al three zinc and six chlorine atoms on both side of equation so it is correctly balanced.

Thus it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
