Multiple transmembrane proteins get inserted correctly into the membrane thanks to signaling sequences.

The amino acid chain of transmembrane proteins (pass through a membrane one or more times) are inserted into the membrane by translocation. Transmembrane proteins must enter the ER before their insertion in cytoplasm and their transport is co-translational (the process of translocation occurs while the protein is still being synthesized on the ribosome). Protein should contain:

• Signal peptide or signal sequence is a sequence of amino acids at the N terminal that gets recognized by signal recognition particle (SRP). This sequence is involved in cotranslational translocation into ER, where the protein should be folded.

• A stop-transfer sequence-signals that translation of the protein should continue in the cytosol (not in ER).

Which activity causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The activity which causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast is:

A. dune grass rehabilitation

Explanation:

This is actually a rehabilitation effort, unlike the other three options that cause land degradation. A dune grass rehabilitation accretes sand and minimizes the rates of beach erosion. The program tries to protect coastal infrastructure and upland properties from storm damage by planting vegetation, fencing off sensitive areas, blocking storm surge, creating dune walkways, and absorbing wave energy. During dune grass rehabilitation, activities that adversely affect the dunes are avoided.

Myocardium, that's because myocardium simply means 'muscular tissue of the heart'. It is not pericardium or connective tissue as these are only small, specific areas of the heart and a heart attack can cause cells to die anywhere in the heart.
