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.

List all four body systems that make up the excretory system and give an example of how each body system eliminates waste.

mart [117]

Answer:

Organs of excretion make up the excretory system.

They include the :

kidneys-Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys and leave the body in urine form. They are part of the urinary system, which also includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra

large intestine-By-products enter the intestine and leave the body in the form of feces

liver- breaks down harmful substances. It's by-products are excreted into bile or blood.

skin-Sweating eliminates excess water and salts, as well as a small amount of urea, a byproduct of protein catabolism

lungs- oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled
