How can amino acids be enabled as buffers in biological tissue?

Biology
1 answer:
gogolik [260]3 years ago
6 0
Amino acids form Zwitterions which means that the -NH₂ group becomes -NH₃⁺ that will remove alkali OH⁻⁻ ions to form water and -NH₂

The -COOH becomes a -COO⁻ which reacts with acidic H⁺ ions to reform the  -COOH group.

Because of this fact and the fact that the zwitterions can be in equilibrium means that it can act as a pH buffer in tissue as the body contains many amino acids.

Hope that helps :)

.. Which of the following mutations would have the potential to affect future generations of
ch4aika [34]

Answer choices:

  • A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
  • A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
  • A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
  • A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.

In landscapes dominated by low-infiltration capacity, what is the first step in erosion?
Oksana_A [137]
Low infiltration capacity means that the soil cannot absorb much water per volume. The first step in erosion in a landscape dominated by low-infiltration capacity is the raindrop splash. This is where raindrops displace the soil from their original place because the soil cannot absorb adequate amounts of water.
