Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, cytochrome c oxidase.

Explanation:

A sequence of complexes, which conduct electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors through redox reactions, that is, both oxidation and reduction reactions taking place simultaneously is termed as the electron transport chain. This conduction of electrons is further combined with the mediation of protons across a membrane.  

Four membrane-bound complexes are present within the mitochondria, of these in complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, the withdrawal of 4 electrons takes place from 4 molecules of cytochrome c, and is mediated towards the molecular oxygen, which further gives rise to 2 molecules of water. During the process, 8 H+ are withdrawn from the mitochondrial matrix, which contributes to the proton gradient.

Which of the following claims about the TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 mammalian genes is most likely to be accurate?
Illusion [34]

The TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 genes are located next to each other on a single chromosome and are organized into an operon is most likely to be accurate.

The option a is correct.

Explanation:

The genes for the Tyrosinase, TRP2 and TRP1 are located on the same chromosome and are operons. These are operons because they are controlled by same transcription factors on mRNA.

Tyrosinase enzyme is important for the synthesis of melanin, eye pigments and hair colour. The synthesis of all these is completed in three distinct reactions  catalysed by TRP1, TRP2 and Tyr genes. These work as operon and the protein product is almost 40% similar of the three genes.

The amount of melanin production depends on tyrosinase enzyme activity of all the three genes.

The genetic regulation is done by operons.

oee [108]

Answer:

About composition of water and organisms that lives there.

Explanation:

scientists might be able to learn about the composition of seawater that was present millions of years ago if we study those stones that comes in contact to that ancient seawater because the traces of particles still present on it. This study provides valuable information about ancient times of earth and its natural resources. These rocks also provides animals that were present in that sea water at that time.

The rate of a typical enzymatic reaction is increased by which of the following changes?A. Decrease substrate concentrationB. In
galben [10]

Answer:

D. Increase in temperature from 20 degrees C to 37 degree C

Explanation:

A decrease in substrate concentration might not necessarily lead to an increase in enzymatic activities.

Enzymes are pH specific. Thus increasing the pH of operation from 6.8 to 7.4 might destroy the enzyme.

Reactants need to overcome a minimum energy (activation energy) before they can be converted to products. The higher this energy, the lower the rate of reaction. Hence, increasing in activation energy will lead to a lower rate of enzymatic reaction.

<em>Enzymes work optimally at a temperature that is close to the human's body temperature which is 37.5 degrees. Hence, increasing temperature from 20 degrees to 37 degrees will result in an increased enzymatic activities.</em>

The correct option is D.
