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.

Projection maps of earth are made in a variety of ways , such as the Robinson’s projection , Mercator projection, and conic proj

maxonik [38]

Answer:

C. All projection maps are subject to varying types of distortion.

Explanation:

The only truly accurate representation of Earth is the globe, as earth is a sphere. When one tries to map out a 3-d sphere on a piece of paper, it is impossible without some kind of distortion occurring. This distortion happens with distance, size, and sometimes other factors. Different projections are used for different purposes because some are more accurate than others in terms of distance, size, relative position, etc.

Describe the difference between the lytic cycle and lysogeny when bacteriophage infection occurs.

Shkiper50 [21]

Both are methods of viral multiplication inside the host cell.
Lytic cycle (which is more common) includes steps like:
1. Infection of the host cell-virus attaches to the receptor of the host cell, penetrates it and releases its genetic material into the host cell.
2. Virus Multiplication-Virus incorporated its genetic material into the host’s and uses its metabolism to multiply. Viral genetic material replicates separately from the host DNA.
3. Cell Destruction- Virus releases an enzyme that breaks the cell wall from within, thus destructing the host cell.
Lysogenic cycle also includes steps of infection, penetration and incorporation of the genetic material. But, after the virus integrates its genetic material it becomes dormant, letting the host multiple and continue its normal activities. Viral genetic material replicates within the host DNA during the host cell's division, so the daughter host cells are infected too. At some point, the virus is triggered, it multiplies and ultimately, destroys the host cells.

Which question is a nonscientific question?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: What roses are the best flowers is a non-scientific question.
