Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The free energy source of skeletal muscles, eukaryotic cilia and bacterium flagellum should be compared.
Concept Introduction:
The energy in the biological system is present in the form of chemicals. Different types of cells use different energy sources.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
During the respiration, ATP molecules are formed in the eukaryotic cells. These ATP molecules stores the energy and they give out energy when hydrolyzed. The eukaryotic cells use ATP as their energy source. Hence, skeletal muscles and ciliause the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP.
The bacterium flagellum does not use ATP as an energy source. It uses proton motive force for the propulsion of the flagella. This work by the transportation of the hydrogen ions across the membrane and act like a battery.
(b)
Interpretation:
The components of skeletal muscles, eukaryotic cilia and bacterium flagellum should be compared.
Concept Introduction:
The cells are composed of different structure that helps them in carrying out different functions in the body. All the components of the cells are essential to carry out the physiological process for living.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
The skeletal muscles are made up of two types of filaments. These are actin and myosin. During skeletal muscle contraction, the actin filaments slide over the myosin head.
The eukaryotic cilia are made up of microtubules and dynein. The bacterium flagellum is made of motA, motB, FliG and other ancillary components.

- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardChemistry Please help with this question ASAP.
