The protein ras is involved in 25% of all cancers, and is attached to membranes through a covalent bond to a phospholipid. how does ras associate with membranes?

Through an anchor

Explanation;

-Protein Ras associates with the membranes through an anchor.

-Ras proteins are molecular switches that decide if and when cells divide inside our bodies, thus an impairment of their function may result in the formation of a tumor or cancer.

-Ras proteins require membrane association in order to be biologically active. Membrane anchorage of Ras proteins in the inner leaf- let of the plasma membrane is an important factor in their signaling and oncogenic potential.

they each offer a fresh glut of resources to the organisms that can arrive and exploit them. as individuals and new species continue to appear, they actively and passively alter the environment. competition for shared resources increases, local abiotic and biotic conditions shift, and the relative abundances of species change accordingly. the process is called ecological succession, and it is one of the earliest and most well-known concepts in ecology.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
