As noted in the text, the OmpF porin in E. coli has a constricted diameter that prevents the passage of large substances. The protein loops in this constricted site contain a D-E-K-A sequence, which makes the porin weakly selective for cations. If you wanted to construct a mutant porin that was highly selective for calcium ions, what changes would you make to the amino acid sequence at the constricted site?

small, big, or no change could occur in the phenotype. it could cause something as simple as a cats ears to curl backwards or something as frighting as death. it could also occur in the protien-coding area and have an effect on that but no effect on the amino acids. what has to occur is a changing in the hox gene or the control gene.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
