Answer: Un ejemplo de cada uno sería el flagelo presente en un espermatozoide y el cilio en el tejido epitelial de los pulmones que elimina las partículas extrañas. Los cilios móviles y los flagelos poseen la misma estructura de axonemas 9 + 2.
Answer:
Myosin
Explanation:
Myosin are the major components of both muscle and non muscle cells in striated muscles which is responsible for contraction or movement that convert chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical work thereby generating force and movement.
During cellular movement , myosin filament will be the ones that are responsible for attaching and pulling the other filaments along because Myosin binds to actin at a binding site on the globular actin protein,it also have ATP binding sites which hydrolyses ADP to ATP , ATP binding causes myosin to release actin, which make actin and myosin to detach from each other thereby causing attachment and contraction of other filaments
Answer:
Protein B has a higher affinity for ligand C than protein A
Explanation:
Binding affinity is a measure of the strength of the bonds or interactions between a single biomolecule or receptor to its ligand. A ligand is usually a small molecule that binds to a specific receptor.
The receptor is usually a large molecule that contains a specific site for the binding of ligand.
Binding affinity is usually measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). The equilibrium dissociation constant KD is a ratio of the dissociation and the association of ligand to the receptor. The value of KD is used to evaluate and compare the strengths of bimolecular interactions. The larger the KD value, the more weakly the target molecule and ligand are attracted to and bind to one another.
The higher the dissociation constant (KD), the weaker the affinity is between the interacting molecules, whereas, the smaller the KD value, the greater the binding affinity of the ligand for its target.
Protein B has a KD value of 10⁻⁹ M while Protein A has a KD of 10⁻⁶ M.
Ration of KD of protein B to protein A = 10⁻⁹ M/10⁻⁶ M = 10⁻³
Therefore, protein B has a KD value which is 1000 times smaller than the KD of protein A.
Answer:
receptor-mediated endocytosis
Explanation:
- A selective mechanism that is responsible for endocytosis and transcytosis of the small amounts of materials that are present in the extracellular fluid is known as receptor-mediated endocytosis.
- The various molecules that can be taken up by this process include hormones, metabolites, proteins as well as certain viruses.
- This process is also known as clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
- In this process, the receptors that are present on the surface of the proteins are captured by a molecule which is the target site for the protein and internalized by membrane internalization (endocytosis).
- The vesicle formed by endocytosis is a clathrin coated vesicle.
