Having a platelet count of 60,000/mirol is below the normal count of 150,000 which is called thrombocytopenia. With this low platelet count, our skin which is part of the integumentary system will show signs of Petechiae. Petechiae are formed and seen on the skin when capillaries underneath leaks blood due to low platelet count. Petechiae is commonly found on a person suffering from Dengue Hemorrhagic fever Disease where platelet count decreases.
Answer:
Two amino acids are joined together by losing a water molecule, or hydrolysis.
Explanation:
A peptide bond is formed by binding two or more amino acids. This is a kind of covalent bond, wherein the <u>carboxylic group</u> of one amino acid and an <u>amino group</u> of another amino acid is linked together with a <u>loss of water molecule or hydrolysis during the process</u>. A polypeptide chain is now then composed of multiple peptide bonds, from binding amino acids (also known as <u>residues</u> at this point), with a linear configuration.
A closer look into this process involves the <u>α-amino group as the beginning</u> of the polypeptide series and <u>ending with the α-carboxyl group</u>. This also serves as the primary structure of the protein.
