Proteins in food are genetically programmed to give energy to the organism which eats them once digested, broken into its simplest form( amino acids ) and assimilated into the organism's system.The proteins however, in an organism are meant to either to provide structural strength and integrity to muscles or to digest food.

How many proteins are there in nature?

There are 100s of amino acids, However 20 of them are essential for the body. Of those 20, 10 are produced within the body and10 have to be supplied through diet for good health. Foods which contain all these 20 amino acids are called complete protein foods and those which do not are called incomplete protein foods.


Do animals have prostates, and if so, how do they differ from those of humans?

Yes, animals do have prostates, but they can differ in size, shape, and location compared to those of humans. The function of the prostate in animals is similar to that in humans, which is to produce fluid that helps with reproduction.


What is a embryonic structures?

Embryonic structures are early formations that develop during the early stages of an organism's growth and development. These structures serve as the foundation for the formation of different body parts and systems as the organism matures. Studying embryonic structures can provide insights into the evolutionary history and development of different species.


Why would a change in DNA sequence change that organism?

In an organism, a genetic code is made by the cells, but in that genetic sequence, if one or more letters are change, replaced, or deleted, then those cause mutations in the organism In an organism, a genetic code is made by the cells, but in that genetic sequence, if one or more letters are change, replaced, or deleted, then those cause mutations in the organism


What does DNA provide to a living organism?

Every cell on Earth is made up of DNA. DNA carries the hereditary information of the cell. The hereditary information is copied for passing onto cell to cell and ultimately specify a protein by the instructions in the DNA. Proteins are the work forces of our cell. DNA is a raw material of genes. Genes are arranged on two long nucleotide strands known as DNA strands. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick determined the structure of DNA. Large amounts of DNA are required to get an exact correspondence between the 4 letter nucleotide of DNA and the 20 letter amino acid of proteins. Each human cell contains about 2 meter of DNA and yet it is tucked into very small nucleus.

What role do genetics and environment play in the development of an organism?

Everything that happens in an organism, including its development, depends upon a complex series of biochemical reactions, and those reactions in turn are controlled by proteins which are synthesized by genes.

What do genes proteins and trait have to do with one anthor?

A trait is an inherited characteristic of an organism. One example is eye color. When a gene codes for the trait "brown eye color" we mean that the person has proteins in her eyes that are shaped to reflect the brown color. The reason she has those particular proteins is because she has the gene that is the instructions for those specific proteins. So: the gene is the instruction to make the protein that is the expression of the trait.


Why does a particular vaccine give immunity against one disease only?

That is a good question! In the vaccine, you have few proteins, that are derived from particular organism only. The antibodies are very specific. They act against the particular proteins only. So from the given vaccine, you get specific antibodies. Those antibodies will act against that particular organism only.


How do transport proteins that are pumps differ from that are channels?

Transport proteins that are pumps differ from those that are channels in that when it pumps, it moves materials against concentration gradient. Other wise, from low to high concentration levels. Channels move materials down a concentration gradient, requiring no energy expenditure by the cell. From high concentration to low concentration levels.

Which macromolecule is responsible for directing growth in living organism?

The macromolecule responsible for directing growth in living organisms is DNA. DNA contains the genetic information that guides the production of proteins, which are essential for growth and development. Genes within DNA are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins that carry out various functions, including those related to growth.


What does N1H1 stand for?

Hemagglutanin & Neurominadase are surface antigens. The number '1' refers to the specific sub-type of those antigens. The sub-types differ in their basic structure.
