(a)
To explain: The role of hydroxyproline in collagen triple helices and also explain the sequence of event which leads to the deficiency of vitamin C.
Introduction: A disease caused due to a deficiency in vitamin C is called scurvy. This disease was very common among the sailors until the nineteenth century. Its symptoms include extensive bruising, hemorrhages, and breakdown of supporting tissue.
(b)
To explain: The cause of susceptibility to scurvy in sailors and also explain the reason for the British sailors to be called “limeys”.

You found out that this enzyme is responsible for converting glucose 1-phosphate (C6H13O9P) to glucose-6-phosphate (C6H13O9P). Based on this action, to which enzyme class does phosphoglucomutase belong? A. Isomerase B. Oxidoreductase C. Lyase D. Ligasearrow_forwardbiosynthesis of Thymidine monophosphate from ATP, HCO3-, Gln, Asp, quinone, and methylene THF.

Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct. If the statement is false, write the incorrect underlined word/s and indicate the correct word/s to make the statement true. Extreme temperatures and pH can cause permanent disruption of the protein primary structure(s) of enzymes that leads to loss of active site shape, loss of binding efficiency and activity.arrow_forward
