Answer

An acid that breaks down completely and gives off many ions, or protons, is considered to be a strong acid. ex H₂SO₄

If you place strong acid into water it dissociate acid into H⁺ ions

Water is polar solvent(H⁺ and OH⁻), which has partial positive charge on one side and partial negative charge on the other side.

Strong acids readily dissociate in polar solvents to give H+ ions.

Where as Oil is a non polar solvent it has same charge all over so no dissociation of strong acid will take place.

Which of the following correctly organizes genetic material from the broadest category to the most specific category?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:A). genome chromosome DNA molecule gene

Explanation: A genome is the totality of the DNA or genes that make up an organism. A genome involves the total number of genes present in all the DNAs of all the chromosomes in an organism. An organism has many chromosomes, for instance humans have 46 chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules. Chromosomes are DNA molecules arranged in a threadlike manner. Chromosomes contains all the genetic information upon which an organism is built. A DNA molecule is made up of coding and noncoding segments. The segments of the DNA that codes for a particular protein or RNA is called a gene.

C.Use of genetic modification to produce laboratory mice with D.Alzheimer's disease.

E.Use of genetic modification to produce a superior race of humans

Explanation: Biotechnology is the use of biology to solve various problems.

Modern biotechnology has provide various technologies to fight debilitating and rare disease, increase food production and the use less and cleaner energy.

The use of Genetically modified organism(GMO)produced through genetic engineering is one of the major biotechnology that is used in this age or generation. GMO's contains genes that are artificially engineered into them that are beneficiary.

Which of the following are best described as short chains of amino acids that are very stable and can have a variety of differen

Anettt [7]

Answer:

antimicrobial peptides

Explanation:

Antimicrobial peptides are short-chained amino acids that are produced as a result of the innate immune defense which can kill various pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

The structure of these antimicrobial peptides consists of a large portion of hydrophobic residues along with positively charged residues such as arginine and lysine.

Antimicrobial peptides employ the use of various mechanisms to combat the pathogens that enter the body. Some of these mechanisms are ;

1. Destabilizastion of membrane.

2. Formation of transmembrane channels

3. Functioning as immunomodulators.
