People who have Alzheimer's disease experience an increasing loss of brain function and cognition over time. Alzheimer's is characterized by a buildup of abnormal protein fragments that damage brain cells. Recently scientists have discovered an enzyme, BACE2, that decreases these abnormal protein fragments in the brain of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Which statement explains how BACE2 most likely works?BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.


BACE2 is a reactant that combines with the abnormal protein fragments.


BACE2 breaks down into smaller pieces that react with the abnormal protein fragments, forming more complex molecules.


BACE2 molecules link several abnormal protein fragments together, forming a complete protein.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

BACE2 speeds up the reaction that breaks down the abnormal protein fragments.

Explanation:

BACE2 accelerates the reaction that breaks the fragments of abnormal proteins that cause Alzheimer's disease. With that, this enzyme is able to quickly cut these proteins, called beta-amyloid, into pieces so tiny that it takes the entire molecule to complete destruction. This is very innovative for the treatment of alzheimer's, although much research needs to be done to improve this process and not cause side effects.

Lord of the rings

Answers

This is for lord of the Rings return of the King

1. Frodo was appointed the task of Ring-bearer to destroy the One Ring by casting it into the fiery depths of Mount Doom and thus to get rid of it for all eternity. however, after all of the indescribable suffering and effort it took to arrive at the actual chasm of Mount Doom and the ability to put an end to all evil was within reach of his hand, Frodo was unable to give it up...instead, he succumbed to the evil power of the Ring and took it for himself. in fact, it was Gollum who ultimately cast the ring into the fire and without the wretched creature, the Ring would not have been destroyed and the entire Quest would have been in vain. Tolkien definitely utilizes irony in this passage.  

2. the Witch-king of Angmar was defeated by two of the most unlikely heroes, a woman in disguise and a Hobbit, namely Éowyn and Pippin. the Witch-king, Lord of the Nazgûl, was Sauron's deadliest and most feared servant who thought he was invincible for 'no man could kill him', according to a legendary prophecy. even Gandalf couldn't even defeat him during a brief showdown between the two (as shown in a scene from the movie before the Rohirrim arrive upon the siege of Minas Tirith). instead, the Witch-king met his demise at the sword of a woman who was forbidden to fight by her kin and of a Hobbit, a creature whom many doubted of their strength in battle.  

oh! and another idea that just popped into my head is how ironic it is that in all these years leading up to the great climactic events of the War of the Ring, Aragorn - the destined King, heir to the throne of Gondor, and the last descendant of the Dúnedain (which is all a pretty impressive lineage if you ask me!) - chose to instead cloak himself in the lifestyle of a Ranger and go into exile, rather than face his fate. of course, Aragorn realizes his destiny and becomes the King he was born to be...thus the "Return of the King"! :D

Whomis a pronoun that refers to the object of a verb or preposition (like to and from), meaning that this pronoun does not perform the main action, but instead, it receives the action.
