Abbreviation for the disease in which one of the enzymes needed to repair sunlight damsaged DNA is missing?

Ultra violet radiation from sunlight causes Pyrimidines in DNA to bind together in a way they aren't supposed to. This binding most often occurs between two thymines creating a thymine dimer. The dimer must be cut out of the DNA strand and replaced in a process called Nucleotide Excision Repair. In the disorder Xeroderma pigmentosum (abbreviated XP) one or more of the excision repair enzymes is missing leading to extreme sensitivity to sunlight and high likelihood of skin cancer.

What isn't essential for photosynthesis?
you need sunlight water and respiration for a plant to photosynthesise.
What do plants need in their environment to carry out photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. And enzymes like chlorophyll to catalyze the reaction. CO2 (carbon dioxide), 6 H2O (water), enzymes, and sunlight. This is converted to C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2.
What is important for photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis requires chlorophyll in a green plant, a supply of water and carbon dioxide, and energy, normally from sunlight.Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water, and generates oxygen as a byproduct.water
Denatured enzymes are the same as?
Denatured enzymes are the same as enzymes that can no longer function.
What determines the effectiveness of enzymes?
The temperature in which the enzymes are effects the effectiveness of enzymes. Enzymes work best at a temperature of 37 which is the body temperature.
Do ribosomes capture sunlight?
yes.But not directly.They produce enzymes needed for photosynthesis
Tay-Sach's disease is caused by a genetic defect which affects the activity of enzymes?
lysosomal enzymes
Tay-Sachs disease results from the malfunction of?
Enzymes
What does the plant need as a result of photosynthesis?
sunlight, chlorophyll, water and some enzymes
Plants use these to turn sunlight energy into chemical energy?
Photosynthetic enzymes.
What is the disease in which one of the enzymes needed to repair sunlight-damaged DNA is missing?
Xeroderma pigmentosum, whose inflicted are called Children of the Night, are forbidden exposure to any sunlight due to the DNA disorder blocking the ability to repair damage done by ultra- violet light. Squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are the main causes of death from this malady.
Where are the enzymes of photosynthesis?
chlrophyl? CO2+WATER =========== should be an arrow, and on the arrow there is chlorophyl and sunlight cos a plant needs these to photsynthesize
Can rheumatoid arthritis cause eleavated enzymes levels?
Yes. Elevated liver enzymes may have various causes in cases where there is rheumatoid arthritis . ranging from the rheumatic disease itself, as the result of anti-rheumatic medication or it be caused by an associated autoimmune disease.
Why would a child have too many enzymes in blood?
Many cells produce enzymes all over the body, so the answer depends on what the enzymes are. They could be the result of over-production (such as in the case of a hyperactive gland, a tumour or a genetic disease) or they could be released due to tissue damage (such as in heart attack, liver disease, muscle atrophy).
What 4 ingredients are needed by a plant to perform photosynthesis?
water, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll and enzymes
What conditions can reduce the amount of your enzymes?
Digestive diseases such as celiac disease and tropical sprue (which affect absorption in the intestine), as well as intestinal infections and injuries, can reduce the amount of enzymes produced.
How do plants trap the energy of sunlight?
The plant's leaves store chlorophyl in their cells.theses substances have enzymes that traps sunlight and converts them to sugar,which is glucose by other means. Written by Ng bin,a 13 year old scientist
