No, I don't reckon that water is alive. I don't think that it is "dead" either. It simply just... exists. However, it DOES hold life within it. But the water itself is not alive, because for something to be considered "alive", it must meet the requirements of responding to stimuli, reproducing and growing, and must be dependent on its environment. Water itself cannot be dependent on an environment, because it IS an environment.
The high concentration of urea causes unfolding of protein and thus results in loss of function of a protein. The urea interacts with the protein and prevents the folding of a protein.
During oxidation, the disulfide bonds that are required for proper functioning and stabilization of protein are formed, while in the presence of urea, the disulfide bonds are not positioned correctly. The protein oxidation results in covalent modification of a protein that results in the change of physical and chemical properties of a protein.
The change of physical and chemical properties of protein after oxidation and in the presence of urea cannot be modified even after the removal of urea. Thus, protein does not fold properly.
Hence the right answer is "disulfide bonds are not positioned correctly rather than week bonding interaction"
The water we drink now was the same water the dinosaurs drank. Discuss how the water cycle makes this statement accurate. Include different parts of the water cycle and what processes help move the water through each part.
