Integral proteins are one type of membrane protein. They are constantly associated with the membrane, carrying out many different functions but <em>they do not maintain the strength of the cell membrane. The sentence is </em><u><em>False</em></u><em>. </em>

-----------------------------------

Plasmatic membranes are composed of lipids and proteins.

Among the proteins, we can find integral proteins and peripheric proteins.

Integral proteins are permanently associated with the membrane.

They accomplish many different functions such as substances transport, cellular receptors, cellular adhesion, among others.

According to how they are incrusted in the lipidic bilayer, integral proteins might be,

Transmembrane proteins ⇒ span the entire membrane

⇒ present in every membrane cells

Monotypic integral proteins ⇒ attached to only one of the lipidic layers

Integral proteins provide structure to the plasmatic membrane, but they <u><em>do not</em></u><em> maintain its strength. </em>

What enzyme found in saliva breaks chemical bonds between the sugar monomers in starches

Kazeer [188]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Salivary amylase breaks the chemical bonds of starch to form sugar monomers.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Amylase is one of the digestive enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of starch molecules into its monomers.
A starch molecule is made of the Glucose molecules which are bonded with each other with glycosidic linkages.
Salivary glands secrete saliva into the mouth cavity.
Saliva contains amylase for the digestion of starch are known as salivary amylase.
Steps in the digestion of sugars start from the action of this enzyme.

Which class of mollusks contain octopi and squids?<br> Anthozoa<br> Gastropoda<br> Cephalopoda

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cephalopods are a group of molluscs that include the pearly chambered Nautilus, squids, and the octopus. They can be divided into three categories: the Nautiloidea (chambered Nautilus), the Ammonoidea (the extinct ammonites), and the Dibranchiata (squids, the extinct belemnites, and octopuses).

How many amino acids could be specified if codons consisted of two nucleotides instead of three? What problem would this present

Greeley [361]

Answer:

This could result in a mutation.

Explanation:

A change in the DNA can affect the work of cells because it can cause a mutation; it can be a good mutation or bad. The three main mutations that occur are Insertion, Deletion and Substitution. Insertion is when DNA base(s) are added in, Deletion is when DNA base(s) are removed. Lastly, Substitution is when DNA base(s) are switched on. All of these mutations can have effects. These effects are Silent effect, Missence, and Nonsense. Silent effect is a mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Missence is a mutation that causes the sequence of amino acids to change. This can cause incorrect protein folding and protein malfunction. Nonsense is a mutation that causes an early stop codon. This effect leads to a protein that is too small. Also a Frameshift can occur. Framshift is when the reading of a frameshift is moved over by one or more bases such that every subsequent amino acid changes. An example of a frameshift is THE CAT ATE THE RAT. If you insert an A at the Beginning this happens ATH ECA TAT ETH ERA T. IN Conclusion there are two Mutations that also play a role in this Point Mutation and Chromosomal Mutaion. Point Mutation is when a single DNA base is either substituted, inserted or deleted from the sequence. Chromocomal Mutation is when large pieces of a chromosome or an entire chromosome is either substituted, inserted or deleted.
