Is electrophoresis part of biotechnology?

Electrophoresis is used to separate molecules based on size and charge. Since biotechnology depends on knowing what you are working with, electrophoresis of proteins, DNA and RNA is a tool used by biotechnologists.


What happens if the Golgi apparatus doesnt work?

The Golgi Apparatus is the post office of the cell. Proteins are made on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and modified in the Goli complex forming such proteins like Glycoproteins, transmembrane and excreted proteins. On the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Lipids are synthesised. These proteins and lipids are excreted by the cell to be used elsewhere throughout other cells, membranes and signalling in the extracellular fluids of the body. If the Golgi Apparatus was damaged, protein shape, hence function may be altered. This is just one example of what could happen though anything from no proteins being synthesised to lysosomes being released damaging intracellular components. The Golgi complex is necessary for the plasma membrane proteins and lipids and many other things in and around the cell and so damage would most probably cause the cell to undergo PCD (Programmed cell death), but this would only occur if the Golgi complex could not be repaired, which it most likely could be.


Can you ejaculate without knowing it?

No, ejaculation typically requires conscious awareness and physical stimulation.


What is the name of the process when glucose enters cells?

Glucose can move into cells by active or passive transport, in both cases membrane-spanning proteins are required. Active transport (SGLT) uses the concentration gradient of Sodium ions to move glucose against its concentration gradient. Passive transporters (GLUT) are only effective if the concentration of glucose in the cell is lower than outside the cell.


Is 207 amino acids joined a protein?

Without knowing which amino acids you have, it is relatively difficult to say whether what you have assembled is a useful protein or just garbage, but any string of attached amino acids is defined as a polypeptide or protein.
