a transmembrane segment of a membrane protein is all made up of alpha helix and contains 22 amino acids. what is the thickness o

f the membrane? if the transmembrane segment was made up of beta strand then how many amino acids in that beta strand will be needed to travel through the thickness of the membrane?

Nine amino acids are needed to travel through the thickness of the membrane.

Alpha-axial helix's distance between amino acids is 1.5. A

The number of gaps between the 22 amino acids in the helix is equal to (22-1) = 21.

Therefore, the helix's length is (21 X 1.5) = 31.5.

One alpha helix is sufficient to span the membrane's breadth, hence the formula is: span of the helix = thickness of the membrane = 31.5 A

The thickness of the membrane is determined by the formula above to be 31.5 AA.

In the beta-strand, there is 3.5 AA between each amino acid.

Therefore, (31.5/3.5) = 9 amino acids are needed.

Explain why cold-blooded organisms like reptiles have a higher rate of secondary productivity than warm-blooded mammals.
PIT_PIT [208]
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.

Answer:

Explanation:

A cervical collar was used to avoid movement and prevent further damage incase he has a fracture.

light is focused in one eye,the pupil will constrict as a respond to the light flashed. It is repeated Again and observed.

The vitals were normal until he had the accident as the patient reached hospital his vitals were abnormal he had achycardia, severe hypotension, increased temperature and shallow breathing which is an indicator of C5 injury. After the surgery and the patient was treated he stabilises and achieved his vitals normal ranges in day 4 of admission.

The X ray result shows he has fracture of the 5th cervical bone.

The blood test shows he has a decreased pH level and an alteration in

his breathing pattern shows he has respiratory acidosis

Cranial tongs was uses to immobilize the neck and prevent it from moving it also aid healing

After the operation it was revealed that he has a damage on both sides of of his 5th Cervical bone which has lead to loss of sensation and strength in his upper arms and lower .It leads to incontinence in urine.
