Protein is made up of a sequence of amino acids. The shape of the protein is usually characterize by the sequence of amino acids present. The functionality of protein is based on its shape. The shape of the protein can be a primary, secondary and tertiary. Tertiary structure of the protein allows it to interact or bind with other molecule in a specific way to perform a specific task.

Answer:

Proteins are the biomolecule present inside the the living organisms. Proteins are made of the polymers of the amino acids that are linked together by peptide bond.

Proteins are biologically active in its 3D conformation and shape. The 3D shape of the protein is achieved by the proper sequence of the amino acids and its folding. Any change in 3D structure of the protein will result in the loss of biological activity of the protein because of the alteration in the amino acid sequence. The 3D shape of proteins is important as it helps the enzymes to work properly to carry out chemical reactions of the body.

With the knowledge of the nucleotide sequence of a gene, which one of the following could you determine with the most accuracy?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

<u>Primary structure of the protein </u>can be determined With the knowledge of the nucleotide sequence of a gene.

  • Strings of amino acids make up proteins, and strings of nucleotides make up nucleic acids.
  • A water molecule is removed during a biological process that links the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of a nearby amino acid to generate peptide bonds.
  • The main structure of a protein is thought to be its linear amino acid sequence.
  • A codon is a cluster of three mRNA nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid.
  • Each mRNA produces a protein that has a specific amino acid sequence corresponding to it. The start and stop of translation are indicated by two codons known as start and stop codons.

Hook was the first to describe microorganisms accurately. true false
NeTakaya
I believe that the best answer for this question is false. The individual who was the first to describe microbes was Antonie van Leeukwenhoek. He is considered to be the Father of Microbiology and the first microbiologist. Hook was actually his contemporary. I hope this helps.

Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form ammonia What are reactants in this chemical reaction?
krek1111 [17]

1 mol 2 mol  

84g of N2(g) = 84/28 = 3 mol of N2(g)  

From the above reaction 1 mol of N2(g) gives 2 mol 0f NH3(g). So 3 mol of N2(g) should give 6 mol or (6x17) 102 g of NH3(g). But we are getting only 85.0 g of NH3.  

Hence %yield of NH3 = 100x85.0/102 = 83.3%  

Answer D. is correct.  

2. 2HgO (s) --------------------- 2Hg (l) + O2 (g)  

2 mol 2 mol 1 mol  

4 mol 4 mol 2 mol  

As only 1.5 mol of O2 is obtained, so % yield = 1.5x100/2 = 75.0%  

Moreover 603 g of Hg = 603/200.59 = 3.00 molof Hg. Considering this also  

% yield = 3x100/4 = 75%
