A protein's secondary structure is characterized by beta pleated sheets and alpha helices; the primary structure of a protein is the order of amino acids in a polypeptide, which is coded for the DNA of a gene. the secondary structure itself results from Hydrogen bonds, where the electronegative nitrogen and O2 atoms impart the hydrogen atoms with a semi positive charge.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<h2>C. placing carrier proteins in the membrane.</h2>

Explanation:

If there is no barrier preventing molecules from moving molecules, then there will be large movement of molecules  from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This passive process is known as diffusion. The phospholipid bilayer of a cell's membrane works as a barrier to large molecules, ions, and most hydrophilic molecules. Whereas small hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the phospholipid bilayer, other molecules and ions are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Some transport proteins, allowing hydrophilic molecules and ions to passively move through them and across the cell membrane.

Examples: carrier proteins and channel proteins.

Placing carrier proteins in the cell membrane will allow the molecule to reach equal concentrations on the both the sides of the membrane and maintain that way over long time. In contrast, transport proteins known as pumps will use cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.

Placing equal numbers of intracellularly directed and extracellularly directed pumps would also equalize the concentrations of a molecule long over time. Pumps are to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, such as the sodium-potassium pump continuously moves sodium ions out of a cell.  

Through the use of carrier proteins, there is equalization of  concentrations of a hydrophilic molecule. This equalize the numbers of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell, but the pumps would continue moving the molecule inward, eventually resulting in more molecules inside of the cell than out.

Genetic engineering has many applications, including uses in the medical, agricultural, and environmental industries. Describe o
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.

Explanation:

Following are few of it's applications:

<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.

<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize  improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.

<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.

What kind of bonds hold the phosphate groups together in ATP and ADP? Exxplain please
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

These phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called <u>phosphoanhydride bonds</u>.

Explanation:

When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

You are an expert paleontologist reviewing the work of Professor Bonefinder, who recently discovered the remains of a primate fo
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The professor Bonefinder has made a mistake.

Explanation:

I't is true the Hominoid had a long snout, a large orbits that are partially enclosed, but they have no tail. This point is really critical because the morphology of an species is really important. The taxonomists use the information that morphology gave for many years to identify species, nowadays with molecular techniques some of those species are pulled apart, but the important matter is that hominoids had no tail.

So the professor Bonefinder analysis is incorrect because the hominoids have no tail.
