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.

Interstitial cells produce?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E (testosterone).

Explanation:

The interstitial cells or Leydig cells are the individual or group of cells present in loose connective tissues surrounding the seminiferous tubules.

They are usually active in the production of dominant sex hormones in males that is testosterone responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics.They produce hormones in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone released by the pituitary gland.

The high cholesterol content and crystals of Reinke make the leydig cells appear pale in color.

Thus, option E- testosterone is the correct answer.

Aloiza [94]

Xylem and Phloem tissues are present throughout the plant. They begin at the root and then move up to the stem, branches, and leaves. The xylem tissue transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves whereas the phloem tissue transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant.
