Which is common feature shared between the GG-subunit of a G-protein complex and the c-ras protein? Select one: A. intrinsic GTPase activity
B. membrane associated protein
C. signal transduction
D. All of these
E. None of these

C. signal transduction

Explanation:

The GTPase activity is the ability to hydrolyze guanine triphosphate (GTP) to guanine diphosphate (GDP) and thus release chemical energy. The G-proteins are heterotrimeric protein complexes composed by alpha, beta and gamma (GG) subunits that form a complex located within the cell which is activated by protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) localized in the cell membrane. The alpha subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins shares homology with the middle region of the c-ras protein, which is responsible for its GTPase activity. The c-ras protein contains a GTP binding motif that functions in mediating signal transduction pathways, which is attached to the cell membrane. When c-ras is inactive, it is bound to GDP, while c-ras is active when bound to GTP.

depends if youre on plato or another site

answer: ice crystals in air

the water from the water body or another source of water gets evaporated as water vapor as an effect of heat on water. these water vapor rises in the upper layers of the earth atmosphere under high atmospheric pressure. the atmospheric pressure of these water molecules starts to decrease due to the effect of cold air. the invisible water vapor condenses into visible water droplets and ice crystals.these ice crystals and water droplets being less denser than the surrounding air floats on air as clouds.
