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.

Sometimes called earth's twins

Serhud [2]

My answer -

There are typically two planets that are dubbed as Earth's twin. The first one, Venus, is called Earth's twin because of its similar size, and how it is the closest planet to Earth. But, scientists discovered that Venus's atmosphere and temperature were totally different from Earth's. The other planet also called Earth's twin is Mars. Mars is believed to have a large ocean on the past. Some even say that life may have developed on Mars for a short period of time. Furthermore, Mars has an average temperature of -70 degrees Fahrenheit, closest to Earth than any other planet. It seems that water and life define the Earth, and if Mars has these characteristics, it would truly be Earth's twin.

Magnification experiment!! explain

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Laboratory is a place where ideas and concepts can be tested through experiments. Biology, like any other discipline of science, is based on experimental work and therefore practical forms an integral part of learning.

Magnification by a microscope is a multiple of the X value of the lenses of the eye piece and objective. For example, a 5X eye piece and a 40X objective will magnify the image 5 × 40 = 200 times the size of the object. Similarly, when a 10X eye piece and a 40X objective are used, magnifying power would be 10 × 40 = 400X. Generally, in a compound microscope, the eye piece lenses are 10X or 15X and the objective lenses are 10X as well as 40X.

Why aren't there any cures for genetic disorders

Afina-wow [57]

Genetic disorders are caused by mutations in genes. These genes consist of DNA and are inherited by the organism by its parents. Genes code for specific amino acids, and they are so complex that we still do not completely comprehend the function of every gene in the human body so we cannot remove them in order to fix a disease. Moreover, every cell in an organism's body has the same genome (except the gametes) so it is not possible to delete the faulty gene from the cells.
