Diverticula Are Tiny Herniations Of The Mucosa Through The Colon Walls, A Condition Named Diverticulosis. They Are Believed To Form When The Diet Lacks Bulk And The Volume Of Residue In The Colon Is Small. The Colon Narrows Contractions Of Its Circular Muscles And They Become More Potent, Increasing The Pressure On Its Walls. Diverticulitis Is A Condition In Which The Diverticula Become Inflamed. Mrs. Ironfield Has Diverticulitis Due To The Inflammation Of Her Diverticula, As Shown By The Pain And Mass.

polet [3.4K]
The answer would be D - boom and bust cycle. In a biological framework with two predator and two prey species, hypothesis predicts two manners by which the species' populace elements can end up coupled. On the off chance that the two predators eat both prey, at that point prey populaces will waver together, blasting when predators are uncommon and smashing when predators, looked with a prey excess, blast thus. In any case, if every predator eats a different prey, and the two prey species contend, hypothesis says the prey populaces will sway out of adjust from each other, as initial one, at that point alternate, commands assets.

The process of protein folding involves: Select one: a. formation of a number of final structures simultaneously, with the incor
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d. progressive stabilisation of correct secondary structural intermediates, and unfolding of incorrect structures, until the final structure is attained.

Explanation:

  • Protein folding is a sequential process and not a random one.
  • It is necessary that a protein must fold in such a way that in the end it is able to attain the particular conformation which is required for its function.
  • The folding of an amino acid sequence is a process that is thermodynamically favourable.
  • This is because in a folded protein the hydrophobic amino acids escapes from interacting with water molecules and hence gets stabilised.
  • A folded protein has lower energy and is more stable than a linear polypeptide chain.
  • The folding of an amino acid linear chain into a protein takes place in the following way:
  1. The folding of the amino acid sequence begins during the process of translation of the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) by Ribosome. (Co-translational folding)
  2. This is because initially the linear amino acid sequence forms a secondary structure (alpha helix, beta sheet) which is formed between the nearby amino acid residues.
  3. These structures form progressively and sequentially and each structure after formation is checked for its correct conformation before the next  structure (tertiary structure) is formed.
  4. If an incorrect folding has occurred, the folded polypeptide chain opens up and refolds until correct orientation is attained.
  5. Folding, opening and refolding process continues until the correct conformation of the protein is attained.

Answer:

The estimates I've read are similar to yours: 200 to 400 billion stars. Counting the stars in the galaxy is inherently difficult because, well, we can't see all of them.
