<span> I think Sea otters are an iconic species, representing the beauty and diversity of marine life found along California’s coastline.  They’re also considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem.  They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp.  Without sea otters, these grazing animals can destroy kelp forests and consequently the wide diversity of animals that depend upon kelp habitat for survival.  Additionally, kelp forests protect coastlines from storm surge and absorb vast amounts of harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.  Sea otters are also considered a sentinel species because their health reflects that of California’s coastal waters.</span>

Nina [5.8K]

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. There are a fixed set of amino acids that are involved in the making of a protein. These amino acids are varied in number and type to give rise to different combinations in a polymer. This creates a diversity of protein molecules.

The amino acids link to other amino acid in the polymer through the formation of a peptide bond between them. It forms when the carboxylic group of one amino acid molecule reacts and binds to the amino group of the other molecule.
