Biochemistry

A functional feeding group categorizes organisms based on their feeding behavior and ecological function within an ecosystem. It helps to understand how different species interact and contribute to nutrient cycling and energy flow. Categories include shredders, scrapers, filter feeders, and predators.

No, trimethoprim is not an enzyme inducer. It is an antibiotic that works by interfering with the production of tetrahydrofolic acid, which is essential for the growth of bacteria.

The specific term for the process when DNA replicates itself is called DNA replication. This process involves the complementary base pairing of nucleotides to create two identical copies of the original DNA molecule.

Fibrin is insoluble in water.

For a little more background knowledge, fibrin is a fibrous protein meaning that it comes in fibres. It is used by the body in the blood clotting process and creates a mesh around the damaged tissue which it uses to catch blood cells and platelets and form a clot.

Fibrin has to be insoluble to do its job because there is a high concentration of water in the bloodstream. If fibrin was soluble, it would simply dissolve and it would not be able to form a clot.

Hope this helps.

The gel in gel electrophoresis is typically made of agarose or polyacrylamide. It acts as a matrix to separate DNA, RNA, or proteins based on size and charge as an electric current passes through it. Agarose gels are commonly used for DNA analysis, while polyacrylamide gels are often used for higher resolution protein separation.

In the translation of a DNA a stop Codon will help to put a stop to the process of translation.There are three stop codons used in the process when a ribosome reaches one of the Codon it stops.

The Specificity of Cell Signaling and Coordination of the Response

The explanation for the specificity exhibited in cellular responses to signals: different kinds of cells have different collections of proteins. (This is because different kinds of cells turn on different sets of genes). The response of a particular cell depends on its particular collection of signal receptor proteins, relay proteins, and proteins needed to carry out the response. Two cells that respond differently to the same signal differ in one or more of the proteins that handle and respond to the signal. Although cells A, B and C all have the same receptor protein, differences in other proteins account for their differences in responses.

Different enzymes work best at different pH. This is refered to as the ideal pH for the enzyme.

For example, the digestive enzyme trypsin works best at an acidic pH while alkaline phosphatase works best at a basic pH.

Therefore, enzyme activity varies with pH and this variation depends on the enzyme being studied

ATP means Adenosine Tri- phosphate. This means there are three phosphate and one adenine. some people also include ribose as one of the molecule, but i will just say two; Adenine and Phosphate

The nucleotide rung of a DNA molecule is attached to the DNA backbone that consists of alternating deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. The nucleotide rung itself is composed of a nitrogenous base (e.g., adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine) attached to a sugar molecule.

Cells monitor DNA integrity by using enzymes. Enzymes search for errors, for example, double strand breaks. Enzymes provide the function of a catalyst in order to bring about a particular biochemical reaction.

definition of organic 1. Of, relating to, or derived from living organisms: organic matter. 2. Of, relating to, or affecting a bodily organ: an organic disease. Also, DNA would chemically be considered to be organic since it contains carbon as the primary chemical backbone of the molecule.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) works as a negative feedback to aldosterone. ANP is released from the atria of the heart in response to high blood volume and works to decrease sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, opposing the actions of aldosterone.

A sex cell that has only half ("ha" = half) one set of chromosomes. Once this cell were to join with the other haploid cell (either an egg or sperm, dependant on what the original haploid cell was) and fertilisation was to occur it would then become a diploid cell ("d" = double)

DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.

The hypothalamus gland is responsible for producing and releasing most of the releasing hormones in the body. These releasing hormones help control the secretion of hormones from other glands, such as the pituitary gland.

Yes, DNA can be found on old envelopes or stamps if there is biological material present, such as saliva or skin cells. However, the chances of successfully extracting DNA from such items can be lower due to degradation over time and potential contamination. Specialized techniques may be required for extracting DNA from these sources.

This depends on the solubility of these other molecules. Some result in hydrates. If a molecule is dissolved easily in H2O, ions are created;

RX <> R+ + X-

and water itself:

H2O <> H+ + OH-.

The electron transport chain is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of animal cells. This is where the series of protein complexes and coenzymes work together to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is proposed to be a biochemical marker to screen for left ventricular dysfunction. It is released from the heart in response to increased ventricular volume and pressure overload, making it a useful indicator of heart failure.

Some examples of macromolecules include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates (such as starch and cellulose), and lipids (such as fats and phospholipids). These molecules are large biological molecules essential for various cellular functions.

It becomes NAD. This happens during electron transport where NADH drops off its H+ and electrons to be used in oxidative phosphorylation. NAD now must move to glycolysis or citric acid cycle to regain its hydrogen.

HC1 (hydrochloric acid) activates pepsinogen into its enzyme form Pepsin.

The peptide sequence after translation would be a chain of amino acids formed based on the mRNA sequence. The order of amino acids in the peptide would be determined by the genetic code, where each three-nucleotide codon specifies a specific amino acid. This process occurs in the ribosome during protein synthesis.
