Plasma proteins account at least 8% of the plasma, they contribute to osmotic pressure and maintain water balance in blood and tissues, other functions includes transport and enzymatic activities. Plasma proteins include albumin, fibrinogen and globulin (alpha, beta and gamma). Globulin proteins may be used to fight infections such that gamma globulin antibodies are released by the plasma during immune response.

During dehydration synthesis is 42 water molecules were made how many monosaccharides were joined together to make the complex c
netineya [11]

Answer:

43 monosaccharides will be joined together to make the complex carbohydrate.

Explanation:

The complex carbohydrates are synthesized by the joining of monosaccharide residues by glycosidic linkages.One glycosidic linkage joins two monosaccharide residues by the elimination of one molecule of water.

  In other words it can be said that elimination of one water molecule joins two monosaccharides.By the same way elimination of 42 molecules of water will result in the joining of 43 monosaccaride residues.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

A) Effect of findings on other family members would be most important factor.

Explanation:

Genetic research is done on human DNA to know the genes and environmental factors associated with certain disease.

Institutional review board (IRB) is the regulatory authority to protect the rights of subjects invloved in a resaerch.

The genetic reaerches usually involve families, so the researcher subjects and the result of research is related to all subjects that cause increased information flow between subjects and effect their decision to partcipate independently in research. Also, if the research involve therapeutic studies special precautions would be taken to choose the subject

Which of the following best describes the mechanism by which steroid hormones control gene expression? View Available Hint(s) Wh
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Steroid hormones that enter the cell activate receptors. These hormone-receptor complexes then bind HREs and influence gene expression.

Explanation:

Mechanism of action of steroid hormones is as follows:

  • Steroid hormone enters cell and bind to the receptor.
  • Translocation of activated receptor- ligand complex into nucleus.
  • This complex then bind to another receptor on the chromatin.
  • Steroid receptors form dimers.
  • Act on DNA
  • These hormone-receptor complexes then bind HREs and influence gene expression.
  • Augmentation or Suppression of transcription.
