Answer:
False
Explanation:
Oligosaccharides (OS) are short chains of monosaccharides (between 2 and 10) that has a diverse variety of functions in biology.
In the human body, for example, OS can be linked to phospholipids (these are called glycoproteins) and function as cell markers for immunological processes and cell-to-cell interaction.
Answer:
C. 42
Explanation:
A sperm cell is a sex cell which is a haploid cell and thus has half the chromosomes of a somatic cell which is a diploid cell.
Answer:
Explanation:
The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.
Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule. This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.
Answer:
Option-A
Explanation:
Penicillin is an antibiotic drug that is derived from the fungal species of Penicillium molds especially the<em> Penicillium notatum</em>. The penicillin acts by disrupting the formation of the cell wall and thus prevents the growth of the bacteria.
The discovery of penicillin was accidental when he was studying the petridish of staphylococcus and he found that due to avoidance while the experiment, molds grew in the petridish. The area around the mold was clear and clear rings without the bacteria were easily observed. This lead to the discovery of the penicillin compound.
Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
