What does ketamine and pcp do to your body?
No, although similar in the fact that they are both NDMA receptor antagonists, PCP(Phencyclidine) is a completely different chemical then ketamine. No, although similar in the fact that they are both NDMA receptor antagonists, PCP(Phencyclidine) is a completely different chemical then ketamine.
How are molecules similar to atoms?
They are both the smallest component of an element.
How are organic and inorganic molecules similar?
they are both composed of atoms.
What is the similarities between enzyme and hormone?
Both enzymes and receptors have specific sites for the substrates to bind. The receptor causes a response beyond the cell membrane and the enzyme facilitates a chemical change in the substrate. Enzymes can be membrane bound or free floating. Receptors are usually membrane proteins
How is o2 and f2 similar?
Both of these are diatomic molecules which show no polarity.
Are chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody the same?
Chickenpox and shingles result from the same virus, and generate the same antibodies. There is no difference between chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody, and there is only one test (varicella virus antibody) for both.
How are diffusion and active transport similar?
Both serve to transport molecules across cell membranes and both make use of proteins embedded in cell membrane in order to move these molecules.
How are allergens and antigens similar?
Antibodies (Abs), T cell receptors (TCRs) and MHC molecules are all involved in the adaptive immune response. All 3 of these (Abs, TCRs and MHCs) have a range of diversity of structure and are composed of different chains. In most animals (including humans) antibodies are composed of 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains, each of which has constant and variable regions. This is very similar to a T cell receptor, which is composed of an α (alpha) and β (beta) chain - which have a contant and variable region. In both cases, it is the variable region(s) which determines what the antibody or the T cell receptor can bind to. This is very important for their function. T cell receptors (TCRs) and antibodies (Abs) are also similar in that their genes are combined and spliced in different ways to create diversity. It is important that both TCRs and Abs be able to recognise may different things. MHC molecules are responsible for presenting antigens to T cell receptors. Once again, they are composed of an α (alpha) and β (beta) chain, which are different depending on whether they are MHC I or MHC II.
What are the differences between Bcell receptors and Tcell receptors?
there are different types of b cell and t cell. both are lymphocytes, a subclass of white blood cell. the t cells are mainly used in identifying antigens and releasing chemicals which attact macrophages (big immune cells which 'eat' antigens), to destroy the antigen. b cells are used in the production of antibodies. when they encounter a new antigen, plasma cells and memory cells are formed from the division of a b cell. the memory cell remembers the antigen and which antibody to use, while the plasma cell makes the antibodies to fight a particular antigen or class of antigens
How are fermentation and cellular similar?
Both fermentation and cellular respiration release energy from glucose and other food molecules, making them similar in their processes.
How are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?
Both serve to transport molecules across cell membranes and both make use of proteins embedded in cell membrane in order to move these molecules.
Do viruses require specific receptors to infect cells?
Yes, all viruses need to bind to specific receptor molecules on the surface of target cells to initiate infection. Virus-receptor binding is highly specific, and this specificity determines both the species and the cell type that can be infected by a given virus.In some well-studied cases, the virus-binding region on the receptor has been found to be unrelated to the receptor's normal cellular function.
