What is unusual about the peptide bond compared to the other covalent bonds that form the polypeptide backbone?.

1 answer:

7 0

When it comes to stability and the absence of atom movement surrounding the bond, peptide bonds behave like double bonds (peptide bonds are unusually stable compared to other types of macromolecules).

Peptide Bond- The -nitrogen atom of one amino acid and the carbonyl carbon of another create a peptide link, also known as an amide bond. As opposed to -amine or -carbonyl, so-called iso-peptide bonds are amide bonds between sidechain amines or carbonyl carbons.

Macromolecules- An extremely big molecule made up of hundreds or thousands of atoms, such as a protein, colloidal particle, or particularly a polymer. For instance Macromolecules include proteins, DNA, RNA, carbohydrates, and lipids.

How does the structure of water contribute to its unique properties

frutty [35]

So basically water is a polar molicule. So when it comes to the structure, water is able to form many hydrogen bonds and the way the atoms are able to bond together adds to the water's special properties.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The geologic time scale is an important tool used to portray the history of the Earth—a standard timeline used to describe the age of rocks and fossils, and the events that formed them. It spans Earth's entire history and is separated into four principle divisions.

Relate the surface area of a cell to the transport of materials.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

If the size of a cell increases it will be more difficult (all other things being equal) for diffusion to transport materials out of the cell. Therefore, less of the cell's interior will be able to come in contact with the cell's surface. If less of it comes in contact, less of it can cross the cell membrane.
