You have recently identified a new toxin. It is produced by a gram-negative bacterium. It is composed mostly of protein, has hig

h toxicity, and is not heat stable. You also discover that it targets liver cells. Based on these characteristics, how would you classify this toxin

Based on the characteristics above, this toxin can be categorized as EXOTOXIN. These toxins (exotoxins) are produced by different types of bacteria.

Exotoxins are a broad category of proteins produced by bacteria that enter host cells in order to alter their physiological properties.

These toxins (exotoxins) can be secreted by Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria.

Examples of exotoxins include botulinum toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium botulinum</em> bacteria, tetanospasmin toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium tetani </em>bacteria, etc.

10 lines about any extinct animal in hindi
Archy [21]

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

डोडो (रफस क्यूक्यूलैटस) एक विलुप्त उड़ान रहित पक्षी है जो हिंद महासागर में मेडागास्कर के पूर्व मॉरीशस के द्वीप के लिए स्थानिकमारी वाला था। डोडो के सबसे करीबी आनुवांशिक रिश्तेदार भी विलुप्त रोड्रिग्स सॉलिटेयर थे, दोनों कबूतरों और कबूतरों के परिवार की उपपरिवार रफैनी थे। डोडो का सबसे करीबी जीवित रिश्तेदार निकोबार कबूतर है। एक सफेद डोडो को कभी रियूनियन के पास के द्वीप पर मौजूद माना जाता था, लेकिन अब रियूनियन इबिस और सफेद डोडो के चित्रों के आधार पर भ्रम की स्थिति पैदा हो गई है।

सबफॉसिल अवशेष दिखाते हैं कि डोडो लगभग 1 मीटर (3 फीट 3 इंच) लंबा था और जंगली में इसका वजन 10.6–17.5 किलोग्राम (23-39 पाउंड) हो सकता है। जीवन में डोडो की उपस्थिति केवल 17 वीं शताब्दी के चित्र, चित्रों और लिखित खातों से ही स्पष्ट होती है। जैसा कि ये काफी भिन्न होते हैं, और केवल कुछ दृष्टांतों को ज्ञात नमूनों से खींचा गया है, जीवन में इसकी सटीक उपस्थिति अनसुलझी बनी हुई है, और इसके व्यवहार के बारे में बहुत कम लोग जानते हैं। हालांकि डोडो को ऐतिहासिक रूप से मोटा और अनाड़ी माना जाता रहा है, लेकिन अब यह माना जाता है कि इसके पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र के लिए इसे अच्छी तरह से अनुकूलित किया गया है। यह भूरा-भूरे रंग की परत, पीले पैर, पूंछ के पंखों के एक गुच्छे, एक ग्रे, नग्न सिर, और एक काले, पीले और हरे रंग की चोंच के साथ चित्रित किया गया है। यह अपने भोजन को पचाने में मदद करने के लिए गिज़र्ड पत्थरों का इस्तेमाल करता था, जिसके बारे में माना जाता है कि इसमें फल भी शामिल हैं, और माना जाता है कि इसका मुख्य निवास स्थान मॉरीशस के सूखे तटीय क्षेत्रों में जंगल रहा है।

What types of bonds hold nitrogenous bases together?
Virty [35]
<span>The nitrogenous base pairs, which are linked by hydrogen bonds that also hold the strands together, are between this backbone. However, the nitrogenous bases, which are adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine, pair up so that cytosine only pairs with guanine and adenine links up with thymine.</span>

Bioflix activity: membrane transport -- vocabulary review can you match the processes involved in membrane transport to their de
Natalka [10]

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>From the diagram with corresponding labels:</u>

  1. Exocytosis
  2. Facilitated diffusion
  3. Endocytosis
  4. Diffusion
  5. Active transport

<u>Further explanation:</u>

Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid by layer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Active transport is a mediated process that requires the use of specialized membrane proteins these proteins require energy in the form of avenues and triphosphate or ATP in order to facilitate necessary conformational changes to the large protein molecules.

Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane. Channel proteins which are pores filled with water versus enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane,  from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is a passive part of facilitated diffusion

<em>...some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport in order to move across the membrane this includes endocytosis and exocytosis</em>

<em> </em>

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of invagination; piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle; different methods of endocytosis such as Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Similarly, in exocytosis, the particles (Protein, Waste material etc.) surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and attaches to the plasma membrane’s interior in a process opposite to endocytosis;  material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.
