Toluene crosses pure lipid bilayers many hundreds of times faster than a related compound, phenylalanine. Suggest two different properties of these molecules that would account for this difference.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The lipid bilayer is hydrophobic that is hydrophobic and it can easily cross the lipid bilayer.

Toulene is a hydrophobic and neutral molecule compound so it can easily pass through the bilayer. It is an aromatic compound with a methane group attached to the benzene ring. It is smaller in comparison to Phenylalanine.

Phenylalanine-- It is an amino acid with a benzene ring attached to it. This amino acid is less hydrophobic than the aliphatic amino acids. Because of its less hydrophobic nature, it travels slowly compared to Toluene. It is also larger and has amino and carboxyl groups attached to it. On the other hand, Phenylalanine is a polar compound which has -COOH and -NH2 group. which prevents its delay in its transport across the lipid bilayer.

The genetic code is defined degenerate or even redundant because:
A. the same codon codes for different amino acids
B. an amino acid can be encoded by several codons
C is different in all organisms, except in monozygotic twins
D. the sequence of codons is not separated by intervals, but is continuous
E. the structure of the genes is constantly mutating

Answers

Answer:

B. an amino acid can be encoded by several codons

Explanation:

The genetic code refers to the set of rules that govern how the four nitrogenous bases (A,U,G,C) is arranged to form amino acids. The genetic code is a collection of all the CODONS formed. There are different characteristics of the genetic code and one of them is its REDUNDANCY.

Since there are 4 nitrogenous bases combined in three's to form a codon i.e. 4³, there are 64 possible codons that could form 20 maximum amino acids. This means that there are more codons in relation to amino acids. Hence, more than one codon can encode an amino acid, and this is referred to as REDUNDANCY of the genetic code.

For example, LEUCINE amino acid is encoded by 6 codons as follows: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG.

Lactase is an enzyme that is produced in the lining of the intestines. This enzyme helps the body speed up the
breakdown of carbohydrates that are found in dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Which general function does lactase perform?

Answers

Answer:

Regulation of cell processes

Explanation:

Lactase is an enzyme that helps in the breaking down of disaccharide sugar, lactose, found in many foods. It does it by converting the lactose into its component reducing sugars - glucose and galactose. This enzyme is produced by some special cells lining the intestinal walls of humans and forms a kind of chemical barrier known as brush border where foods must pass through before being absorbed. By so doing, foods are screened for the presence of lactose and any lactose is broken down before the foods are given a pass.

Mosquitoes usually become resistant to pyrethroids through the mutation of a sodium channel gene that controls the movement of ions across cell membranes. Mutations in a single gene are enough to make mosquitoes almost completely resistant to the level of pyrethroids used in insecticides.

The respiratory system may be a system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants.

What is the process of respiration?

We have a pair of external nostrils opening out above the upper lips. It results in a nasal chamber through the nasal passage. The nasal chamber opens into the pharynx, some of which are the common passage for food and air. The pharynx opens through the larynx region into the trachea.Trachea is a straight tube extending up to the mid-thoracic cavity, which divides at the extent of the 5th thoracic vertebra into a right and left primary bronchi. Each terminal bronchiole gives rise to a variety of very thin, irregular-walled, and vascularized bag-like structures called alveoli. The branching network of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli comprise the lung.

Thus, we can conclude that the correct option is (e).

The predominant forms of actin inside a cell are ATP-G-actin and ADP-F actin. What would be the consequence for actin filament assembly/disassembly if a mutation prevented actin's ability to bind ATP

Answers

Answer:

If actin is unable to bind to the ATP molecule, it will not be able to assemble into its two dominant forms.

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the two predominant forms of actin are ATP-G-actin and ADP-F actin. As we can see, the formation of these two molecules involves the presence of an ATP molecule, in which case, the concentration of actin inside an organism depends totally on the capacity of the actin to be able to bind to an ATP molecule. If there is a mutation that prevents this binding from occurring, actin will not be able to form its two dominant forms, which will harm the presence of actin in the body.

Given the latitudinal differences in sunlight intensity, how might you expect the carrying capacity of a plant species found at the equator to compare with that of a plant species found at high latitudes? Explain your answer

Answers

Answer:

The carrying capacity of a plant species expect in the equator is higher as compared to the carrying capacity at high Latitudes. This is due to the equator the plants have more light available, so the ecosystem can give them better conditions to survive and reproduce. Remembering that the carrying capacity is the largest population size an ecosystem can support without degrading itself, in the equator would be higher as it can have better conditions of light, so they would survive and reproduce more and the largest population the ecosystem could support would be higher.

Which of the cardiac cell characteristics describes the
ability to initiate an electrical impulse?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: automaticity.

Explanation:

Cardiac muscle has several properties. These properties are: automaticity (given by the pacemaker cells), conductivity (meaning that each cardiac cell can transmit the electrical impulse to the next cardiac cells), contractility (like other types of muscles, cardiac muscle cells can contract), and irritability (each cell can contract on its own without the external stimuli).

Cardiac pacemaker cells are the ones with the capacity to initiate the electrical impulse by creating rhythmic impulses called action potentials, and thus directly regulating heart rate.

Pacemaker cells are located in the sinoatrial (SA) node, in the upper portion of the right atrial wall. In these cells, depolarization of the cardiac muscle begins, and the electrical impulse generated by it is transmitted to the atrioventricular (AV) node, the His bundle and then the Purkinje fibers - this order of events is necessary for the correct contraction of the heart to occur. All of these structures are part of the Conduction System of the heart.
