Entropy, is mainly responsible for the resting state of this protein.

Hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, and dipole-dipole interactions produce the complicated folding styles seen in secondary and tertiary structure. however, if a protein does not have these elements of structure, it'll undertake a kingdom in which its entropy is maximized.

Secondary shape is determined through hydrogen bonding within the amino acid chain backbone. Tertiary structure is the entire protein's form, decided Entropy Interplay and hydrophobic forces. The tertiary shape of a protein is the 3 dimensional shape of the protein. Disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions all affect the form a protein takes.

The nonpolar amino acids have formed the nonpolar center of the protein, weak van der Waals forces stabilize the protein. furthermore, hydrogen bonds and ionic interactions between the polar, charged amino acids make a contribution to the tertiary structure.

Disclaimer: your question is incomplete, please see below for complete question

A. Entropy

B. Hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues

C. Dipole-dipole interactions

D. None of the above

1. A normal mammalian cell will shrink if it is placed into_________. (Assume all solutes are non-penetrating) A. pure water B.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

B. 50 mM glucose; E. 300 mM glucose

Explanation:

In order for the cell to shrink the concentration of solutes in the blood should be above normal or higher than the intracellular concentration, so that water moves from the inside of the cell to the outside by the process known as osmosis.

The normal blood levels of NaCl = ~ 154 mM; therefore A, C and D will not cause any shrinkage.

The normal blood levels of glucose = ~ 3.9 to 7.1 mM; therefore water would move from the intracellular to the extracellular space since the solutes are 10x higher outside the cell, causing shrinkage of the cell.

Why are electrical cords often covered with rubber
Degger [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Most electrical wire is covered in a rubber or plastic coating called insulation. ... The purpose of insulation covering the metal part of an electrical wire is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.
