The middle cranial fossa ranges from the posterior edge of the lesser wings of the sphenoid bone (anteriorly) to the anterior region of the petrous part of the temporal bone (posteriorly). It houses the temporal lobes of the brain and the pituitary gland.

<h3>Where is the Pituitary gland located?</h3>

Pituitary gland is located within the Mid-brain. It is an endocrine gland, about the size of a pea, that sits in a small, bony cavity at the base of the brain whose secretions control the other endocrine glands and influence growth, metabolism, and maturation.

It lies in the Sella turcica of the sphenoid bone (A compound bone at the base of the skull behind the eyes)

Thus, the middle is the answer.

I would just survey whoever is in my house. And I will be honest I have no idea what the survey is about but obviously your school (k12 maybe?) would not expect you to go around the neighborhood asking random people where their knuckle hair is located. All I can say Is try your best. Hope this helped. XD

The pKa of an acid depends partly on its environment. Predict the effect of each of the following environmental changes on the p
Galina-37 [17]
The pKa represents the pH of the medium at which the zwitterionic amino acid assumes most stable ionic form due to structural stabilization. As the pKa is dependent upon the environmental factors of the solution around the amino acids, a change in their structure and localization can cause change in the pKa of the protein. Thus, the answers can be found as below:

Part A: Decrease (As the lysine is basic in nature, it will tend to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and weak interactions between the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bonds in the viscinity, thus lowering the pH and hence pKa of the protein)

Part B: Increase (As the carboxyl group is acidic in nature, removal of it will tend to increase the pKa since the basic amino acids will tend to accumulate more negative charge in their viscinity)

Part C: Increase (As glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, its shift from outside to a non-polar site will prevents its ionization and hence the pKa will tend to shift from slightly acidic to slightly basic, hence increase)

Two polypeptides, X and Y, have similar tertiary structures. X normally exists as a monomer while Y exists as a tetramer, Y4. Wh
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Due to number of amino acids.

Explanation:

The main differences might be expected in the amino acid composition of X versus Y because the X polypeptide is made up of one smaller unit of amino acid while on the other hand, Y polypeptide is made up of four smaller units of amino acids. The  name of X is monomer which means composed of one amino acids while Y exists as a tetramer which means it has four amino acids. So we can conclude that the main difference between X and Y is the presence of  number of amino acids.
