Answer:
Following are the correctly rank steps:
1. The binding of glucose takes place with the transporter on one side of the membrane.
2. The binding of glucose leads to a conformational change, which opens the site of binding on the contrary side of the membrane.
3. The dissociation of glucose takes place.
4. The transporter moves back to the beginning conformation.
Answer:
The traits were linked
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel often called the father of genetics was a priest as well as scientist. He conducted many science experiments and determined the law of independent assortment and segregation. He did however noticed that there were some traits seen in the parents that were passed to the offspring in the same combination. These were termed "linked-traits" and were the first indications that genes may be linked.
Answer:
(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.
Explanation:
The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
Answer:
The problems that can be caused by Expansion or Contraction a;long with the solutions are:
Explanation:
- The railway tracks made of steel expand during the summer and contract during the winter. This can cause them to become curved during the summer thereby causing rail derailment.In order to prevent this, an air gap is kept in between the railway lines so that they get the space to expand without getting curved.
- The electric wires linking the telegraph posts are made up of metals and so they expand in the summer and contract in the winter, which can cause them to tear. This is why the wires are loosely fixed so that they can expand and sag in the summer and contract and tighten in the winter.
- Bridges are constructed with joints where some space is maintained to allow the easy expansion and contraction in summer and winter respectively.
Answer:
Hydrophobic part
Explanation:
A protein is made up of amino acids. Some amino acids such as serine and threonine are polar and hydrophilic in nature as they have polar side chains. The other amino acids such as alanine and proline are non-polar as they have nonpolar side chains.
The polar amino acids of a polypeptide chain are folded towards the inside of the protein to avoid any interaction with the surrounding watery medium. On the other hand, the polar and charged amino acids are oriented towards the surface of a folded protein. This arrangement makes the proteins stable.
