Answer:

Mono: Monosaccharide sugars

Di: Disaccharide sugars

Poly: Polysaccharide sugars

The reason for adding the prefixes Mono,Do and Poly Infront of the three types of sugars is to show how many sugars are in each molecule right off the bat.

Hope this helps :)

You have isolated a previously unstudied protein, identified its complete structure in detail, and determined that it catalyzes
Finger [1]

Answer:

An enzyme whose activity is controlled by allosteric regulation.

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that<em> accelerate</em> chemical reactions within the cell. Enzymes bind to the substrate in the active site, catalyzes the reaction, for example the breakdown of the binding molecule, and release the product or products.

The enzyme activity need to be regulated. One of the mechanisms by which this occurs involves effector molecules, usually small molecules which bind to the regulatory site, called allosteric site. The binding to effector molecules may activate or inhibit the enzyme activity, consequently increasing or decreasing the rate of the reaction.  

This mechanism of enzyme control is called allosteric regulation.

The description of the protein isolated fits with this features,  an enzyme whose activity is controlled by allosteric regulation.

Calcium mechanism in muscle contraction
tino4ka555 [31]

 and is prevented in the absence of , which causes calcium to trigger contraction through a response with regulatory proteins.

and filaments of the fibrils glide into one another as a result of calcium diffusing in the cytoplasm, resulting in the of the complete muscle fiber. The SERCAs pump (Sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase) actively pumps ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum when the action potential decays.

Self-portraits can help you learn about positioning people in a photograph.
ahrayia [7]

<em>1.) True</em>

<em>The reason this is true is because adjusting the camera allows you to get an understanding of how someone else should look or how they would likely look best when photographed. It also gives an understanding of how a camera should be aimed to get the best result.</em>

<em>2.) True</em>

<em>While many cameras have this feature, most are configured to only use this feature when the photographer selects it. This feature allows the photographer to adjust the camera in case they feel something isn't quite right with it, and it also allows them to get into the picture themselves if they feel they want to. </em>

<em>Hope this helps you, and have fun with whatever it is you are doing with your camera.</em>

Cacti have sines instead of leaves because they help protect them from getting eaten and they don't need leaves because they store water inside themselves. 
They both have adapteations to help them servive in very harsh conditions. Cacti use their adaptations to survive in scourching heat and pine trees can servive in freezing cold.</span>
