Answer:

D

Explanation:

A is not possible because osmosis is a term given only for the movement of water down it's potential through a partially permeable membrane.

B is not possible since the molecule is big and since it's an antibody, it's polar. It being polar makes it impossible to passively cross the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

C is not possible because it describes the action of something bulky leaving the cells, not entering them.

Endocytosis is the uptake of large molecules into the cells by forming phagocytic or pinocytic vesicles.

Photosynthetic algae create sugars that will eventually be broken down during which process
Leya [2.2K]
The breaking down of sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix -lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step process in respiration, the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the process of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced.

Firdavs [7]
The factor that creates the most difficulty in predicting the possible consequences of different control methods is called species interactions. An example could be competition, in which one organism fights with another for the same resources.

In E. coli, the primary component of the mismatch repair system is the protein MutS. How does MutS recognize mismatched base pai
nignag [31]

Answer:

The best answer to the question, given the research found on this particular process in E. Coli specifically, would be: D) It identifies hemimethylated base pairs and methylates the unmodified base.

Explanation:

According to research on this pretty complicated topic, in E. Coli specifically, and other gram negative prokaryotes, it has been found that the presence, or absence of methylation will initiate MutS, which is a protein both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes responsible, in a full complex, of initiating and carrying out the full mechanism of DNA mismatch repair. As the daughter DNA strands are produced from parent strands, these first ones arise with several deletions and mismatches which need to be repaired and they are recognized due to the fact that daughter strands are hemimethylated. This circumstance activates MutS in E. Coli, who will then bind to the DNA strand that needs to be repaired and together with other members of the complex, like MutH and MutL, begin the process of repair.

In eukaryotes and other prokaryotes, the exact process by which DNA is repaired by MutS is still not totally known.

2. As a result of your initial efforts you were able to detect the presence of protein K using IgG. However, when your lab mate
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Protein K is a protein that can available in the human cell nucleus that binds to pre-messenger RNA as a part of heterogenous ribonucleoprotein. IgG is one of the five isotypes of immunoglobulin or antibodies.it is the most common antibodies in the blood circulation and makes the 75% of total antibody.

When you heat solution, generally protein k activity increase with an increase in the heat but up to an extent or point called optimum temp. The optimal temperature for activity ranges between 50-65°c. When an increase in temperature help with protein unfolding easing the ability for protein k to break down those proteins.
