Proteins play key roles in olfaction. One kind of protein, called ___________, attaches itself to hydrophobic odorant molecules so that they may dissolve in watery mucous. A second class of proteins, to which odorant molecules become bound and initiate transduction, are coded by the largest family of genes in mammals and are called ___________ . Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs); Olfactory receptors (ORs)".

Explanation:

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are low-molecular soluble molecules that are secreted in high amounts in the nasal mucus layer. The precise biological activity of OBPs remains unclear, however, its solubility and ability to attach to hydrophobic odorant molecules suggest that they acts as carriers. A second class of proteins called olfactory receptors (ORs), act at the genetic level by initiating transduction once odorant molecules attach to them. ORs are coded by the largest family of genes, which include more than 100 genes and pseudogenes that represent around 3% of the genome.

Answer:

B. The bird will stop flying because it will quickly use up its remaining

energy.

Explanation:

This is because the mitochondria is known as the power house of cells. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in this organelle and it involves the conversion of ADP to ATP through the hydrogen ions(protons).

When the hydrogen ion channel is blocked, energy production in cells stop.

This is why the bird will stop flying as it would have used up its remaining energy and won’t have a new one to use to continue flying.

A researcher interested in the disappearance of fallen leaves in a deciduous forest carried out a field experiment that lasted nearly a year. She collected all the leaves from 100 plots scattered throughout the forest. She measured the amount of leaves present in November, May and August. The percentages reflect the number of leaves found, using the November values as 100 percent.

Answers

Answer:

Elm:    50 %; 1 %

Hazel: 69 %; 4 %  

Explanation:

Assume the table looked like this.

[tex]\begin{array}{crrr}\textbf{Month} & \textbf{Ash} & \textbf{Elm} &\textbf{Hazel}\\\text{Nov} &\text{4271 g}& \text{3481 g} & \text{1723 g}\\ & 100\, \% & 100\, \%&100\, \%\\\text{May} & \text{2431 g} & \text{1739 g} & \text{501 g}\\& 100\, \% & x \, \% &z \, \%\\ \text{Aug} & \text{1376 g} &\text{35 g} & \text{62 g}\\& 100\, \% & y \, \% & w \, \%\\\end{array}[/tex]

To get the percentages for each species for May and August, you divide that month's mass by the November mass and multiply by 100.

[tex]x = \dfrac{\text{1739 g}}{\text{3481 g}} \times 100 \, \% =50 \,\%\\\\y = \dfrac{\text{35 g}}{\text{3481 g}} \times 100 \, \% = 1 \,\%\\\\z = \dfrac{\text{501 g}}{\text{1723 g}} \times 100 \, \% = 69 \,\%\\\\w = \dfrac{\text{62 g}}{\text{1723 g}} \times 100 \, \% = 4 \,\%\\\\[/tex]

Explanation:

plato

Yes, based on the law of conservation of energy, the description is accurate because plants convert light energy into chemical energy.

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process of making food. It occurs in plants and organisms with chlorophyll, like plants, algae, etc. These organisms convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy.

Here, the law of conservation of energy says that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred, the same happens in photosynthesis. The light energy from the sun converts into chemical energy.

Thus, Yes, the description fits according to the law of conservation of energy since plants turn light energy into chemical energy.

A new species of aquatic chordate is discovered that resembles an ancient form. It has the following characteristics: external armor of bony plates, paired lateral fins, and a bony skeleton. In addition to these, it will probably have which of the following characteristics?
a) legs
b) metamorphosis
c) an amniotic egg
d) no jaws

Answers

Answer:

a) legs

Explanation:

Based on these characteristics it can also be said that this species would have legs. This is due to this new species having paired lateral fins. That is because paired lateral fins refer to the pectoral and ventral fins, which are corresponding to the fore and hind legs of the higher animals. Meaning that this new species would have had to have legs if they had paired lateral fins, and a bony skeleton would help corroborate this finding.

Imagine that a newly discovered species of fish normally has three eyes (E), but the rare mutation (ee) causes "diopthalmic" fish with two eyes to be born. In addition, eye color in these fish is inherited similarly to humans, with black eyes (B) being dominant to blue (bb). Assuming these two genes are carried on separate chromosomes, what must the genotypes of two black-eyed, three-eyed parents be if they have a blue-eyed, diopthalmic son

Answers

Answer:

Heterozygous with BbEe and BbEe

Explanation:

The genotypes of the two parents must be heterozygous.

From the illustration, E codes for three eyes while ee causes diopthalmic. B causes black eye while bb codes for blue eye.

Black eye genotypes could be BB or Bb.

Three eye genotype could be EE or ee.

A black eyed, three-eyed couple produced blue-eyed (bb), diopthalmic son (ee). From the law of inheritance, the son inheritance the alleles for each trait from the two parents, one from each. Hence, it means that each of the parent posses recessive alleles in their genotypes, that is they are heterozygous for the two traits.

Gene expression patterns can be used to test hypotheses based on morphology. For example, the regulatory gene Bapx1 is expressed in the hinge of the developing lower jaw in fishes and reptiles. Where would you predict Bapx1 expression to occur in mammals?
A. in the developing cheekbone
B. in the developing lower jaw
C. in the mature lower jaw
D. in the developing ear bones

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "in the developing ear bones".

Explanation:

The developing lower jaw of fishes and reptiles has a variety of bones that are joined together, forming the mandible that they use to eat their preys. Some bones in the developing lower jaw of fishes and reptiles are equivalent to the developing ear bones of mammals. Therefore we can predict that the Bapx1 expression in mammals will occur in the developing ear bones. About this evolutionary relationship, scientist Zhe-Xi Luo of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh states "Reptiles have [a] jaw full of ear bones from mammals and mammals have an ear full of jawbones of reptiles".

All is correct.

Explanation:

A. can involve the addition of phosphate groups.

b. can activate an enzyme.

c. produces modifications that can sometimes be reversed.

d. affects the activity of an enzyme by adding or removing a chemical group.

Because Covalent modifications are enzymes catalyzed changes in the production of protein that involve the removal or addition chemical groups.

Covalent modifications can target a single or many Amino acids and it will alter their chemical properties.

Addition of phosphate group is a covalent modification because it control enzymes activity.

Covalent modification is reversible because it involves addition or removal of phosphoryl group to enzymes.

covalent attachment of another molecule can affect the activity of enzymes and many other proteins. In these occurence, the molecule that act as donor provides a functional moiety that modifies the properties of the enzyme.

In the study of cancer, researchers have used different types of cells, different environmental conditions, and different experimental designs. But, all researchers have arrived at the same conclusion. What does this say about the conclusion? It is well supported. It is weakly supported. It is inconclusive. It is refuted.

Answers

Answer:

It is weakly supported.

Explanation:

All the factors in each experiment are different. There are not any controls to ensure the results are reliable. When all the factors vary, it cannot be determined whether the factor being tested was the cause of the result, or another factor was the cause. Although all the reasearchers reached the same conclusion, it cannot be proven whether it was caused by the specific factor being tested, or if it was merely a coincidence.

During multiple experiment, if the results are the same or indicate the same conclusion then the reliability of the conclusion increases. Thus option A is correct.

What is the conclusion?

The conclusion is the sum of all the observations during our experiment that gives the outcome of our investigation.

During cancer research on the different types of cells, conditions, and different experimental designs end up with the same conclusion which makes it more reliable. So option A is correct.
