Explanation:
Pepetidoglycans are the structural polymers which make up the cell walls of most bacteria.
It consists of the macromolecule, glycan chains, which are repeating N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues. These glycan chains combine or cross-link with peptide side chains (proteins) to form a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria.
Peptidoglycan is the major structural component and the basic unit of the bacterial cell wall and provides protection to the cytoplasmic membrane, mechanical rigidity and also regulates the passage of fluid, amino acids, sugar and ions, in and out of the cell.
Answer:
The alveolar walls and capillary walls share a membrane. That's how close they're getting. This allows oxygen and carbon dioxide to readily pass from the respiratory system to the circulation. Oxygen molecules bind to red blood cells as they return to the heart.
ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons
Degeneracy
Degeneracy simply means that most of the amino acids produced during protein synthesis from DNA is coded by more than one codon. A codon is a sequence of 3 <span>nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.
Because more than 1 codon can produce the same amino acid, the chances of having the synthesis of proteins affected by mutations (i.e. point mutations) is decreased. For example, if the codon with the nucleotide series GAA, which codes for the amino acid glutamate, becomes the codon GAG, the codon will still produce glutamate because the code is degenerate. </span>
