Why doesn t a skin cell make crystallin protein mastering biology?

Biology

Vanyuwa [196]2 years ago

Answer;

-Skin cells have the crystallin gene but do not express it.

-Skin cells do not need crystallin for their function.

Explanation;

Crystallin protein has a specific function in lens cells, and skin does not make lenses. It would be wasteful to make protein that is not needed, and the crystallin protein might even have a detrimental effect if it were expressed in skin cells. So even though skin cells have the gene to make crystallin, they do not express that gene.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

b. The enzyme and substrate would be stuck together.

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins whose active site binds to specific chemical reactants (i.e., substrates), thereby forming a complex that is similar to the interaction between a lock and its key. This active complex lowers the energy of the reaction and promotes a conformational change in the substrate to break down it into multiple products. When the enzyme contains mutations in its active site, the ability to bind the substrate is altered. In this case, the enzymatic reaction can't occur because the interaction enzyme-substrate doesn't produce an active complex.

You are a scientist who discovers three new species of beetles in the jungles of South America. Describe, in detail, how a prote
Elenna [48]
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1, 4, 5 are true. 2, 6, 7, 9 are not true. 3 and 8 are not known.

Explanation:

According to the information we have gathered from the vehicles sent to Mars and the data they collected and analyzed, "Minerals of types known to form in liquid water" on Mars. There is "abundant water ice" and also "dried-up river beds".These statements actually exist.

"Surface pools of liquid water" does not exist on Mars. "A network of straight-line canals", "cities built by an ancient civilization" and "frequent rainfall and snowfall" also do not exist on Mars according to the data.

We do not have any information to prove the existense of "underground pockets of liquid" and "microscopic life" but they are possibilities.

I hope this answer helps.

Which is true regarding the TCA cycle (Krebs cycle)? A. pyruvate is an end product of the cycle B. energy capture in the cycle i
exis [7]

Answer:

D. some components of the cycle are used as building blocks for certain anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Kreb's cycle starts when pyruvate enters the cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The cycle completely breakdown acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. The released energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2 which enter oxidative phosphorylation to drive ATP synthesis. Kreb's cycle is an amphibolic pathway as it is involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes.

Some of the intermediates of Kreb's cycle serve as precursors for other anabolic pathways. For example, alpha-Ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate from Kreb's cycle enter the anabolic processes of synthesis of amino acids aspartate and glutamate respectively. Succinyl CoA from Kreb's cycle serves as one of the intermediates for the synthesis of porphyrin rings present in "heme" groups. The heme group is a structural and functional part of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins.
