A segment of 20 amino acids from a protein chain is called a polypeptide.

<h2>Peptides and proteins</h2>

Peptides are biomolecules consisting of short chains of amino acids liked by covalent peptide bonds. When the chain has 2 amino acids, it is called a dipeptide ('di' meaning 'two'); when it has 3 amino acids it receives the name of tripeptide ('tri' meaning 'three').

A polypeptide, however, is much longer, as it has 20 or more amino acids in its chain and can be considered a polymer of amino acids.

When one or more polypeptides are also folded into a stable structure by non-covalent bonds, that is called a protein.

Proteins have many, many functions. The ones that can accelerate chemical reactions are called enzymes.

Leto [7]

Answer:

A. supplementary motor cortex; premotor cortex

Explanation:

The supplementary motor cortex, also known as the supplementary motor area (SMA), is an area of the cerebral cortex located anterior to the premotor cortex. This area (SMA) is involved in the execution of complex and rapid sequential movements (e.g., typing). Moreover, the premotor cortex is an area of the motor cortex located between the primary motor cortex and the prefrontal cortex. This area (premotor cortex) is activated during motor tasks including, among others, spatial and sensory guidance of movement.

According to the graph, which of these statements is true?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

That's why in the graph the best reaction of the enzyme is on 40° C.

On low temperatures the enzyme activity is too low.

On very high temperatures it fall, so the enzyme works better in the middle temperatures.
