Answer:
a) Ribosomes
b) Please find the justification for the answer in (a) below.
Explanation:
According to this question, Hepatitis C is a virus that causes liver disease by attacking the liver. However, a REDUCTION IN ALBUMIN, which is a protein that regulates oncotic pressure of blood in humans- a process necessary for the regulation of fluids in vessels of the body and tissue repair, has been found to have to do with liver disease.
Since ALBUMIN is a protein produced by the liver, which when diseased causes a reduction to the blood-albumin level, the organelle in liver cells that is most likely being affected by hepatitis C is the RIBOSOME. This is because the RIBOSOME is the organelle/site for PROTEIN SYNTHESIS in any cell. Hence, the ribosome organelle of the liver cells are responsible for synthesis of Albumin protein.
Hence, a diseased liver due to attack by Hepatitis C virus means an attack on the RIBOSOMES of the liver cells producing the protein.
Answer:
Explanation:
This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).
One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.
NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.
Answer:
C. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturation
Explanation:
Temperature is a factor that has a huge impact on cell membrane structure, more precisely its fluidity. So, for example, if temperature increases, the cell membrane becomes more fluid because the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids become less rigid.
Any astronomical body that revolves around a larger body is called SATELLITE. <span>There are two basic types of satellite, natural and artificial satellites. Natural satellites are those that occur naturally such as the moon and the earth while artificial satellites refers to man made satellites. Man made satellites are usually designed for collection of data and for communication. Artificial satellites have the ability to collect more information in a very short time compared to ground instruments. There are many different types of artificial satellites in space.</span><span />
