What percent of the motor cortex of the brain is devoted to the muscles of the hand?

Biology

<span>The motor cortex dedicates a large amount to controlling the muscles of the hand. It is likely that the percentage is around 30%, maybe more. This is followed my the muscles of the face/tongue. This is surprising considering how small these parts are compared to other muscle groups of the body, but these parts require the most intricate control.</span>

Consider three molecules, named X, Y, and Z. When added to a beaker of water they undergo spontaneous reactions. When X is added
harina [27]

Both X and Z will increase in order.

Option D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Here in the question we can see that all the three compounds X Y and Z are in equilibrium as they are put in a water beaker containing water. This phenomenon is Called chemical equilibrium when the substances that are isomers to each other actually forms in water and their relative concentration remains in a particular ratio according to their stability.

Here in the question, the solution contains X Y and Z in equilibrium. But if more Y is added in the solution, firstly the equilibrium constant for X and Y will get disrupted because X will get low in amount with respect to Y. So some Y will get converted to X. Similarly, when Z will also face the same problem and some Y will get converted to Z. Hence the amounts of both X and Y will increase along with Y.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: d.a nonpolar side chain.

Explanation:

  • Protein can be defined as one of the factors which determine the structure as well as the function of a cell.
  • Proteins are composed of polymeric chains of polypeptides, which are made up of amino acid monomers linked to each other by peptide bonds.
  • Amino acids can be broadly categorised into non-polar and polar based on the nature of the side chain.
  • The non-polar amino acids possess hydrocarbon side-chains which are hydrophobic in nature, so they tend to avoid interaction with water molecules and usually remain in the protein interior. They are uncharged and cannot form any hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
  • The polar amino acids possess charged or polar side-chains which are hydrophilic in nature, so they tend to undergo interaction with water molecules and usually remain on the protein surface. They can form hydrogen bonds with molecules of water.
  • Beta sheets can be defined a secondary structure of the protein in which the polypeptide sequence forms horizontal strands which are linked to each other by loops. Each strand interact with each other by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the C=O group of one peptide (amide) bond in one strand with the N-H group of another peptide (amide) bond in another strand.
  • Apart from these bonds, the non-polar side chains of each amino acid in one strand forms hydrophobic or Van der Waals interactions with the non-polar side chains of each amino acid in the other strand. The polar or charged  side chains of the amino acids on each strand form either hydrogen bonds with water molecules or with oppositely charged side chains.
  • In the given question, glycine and alanine are non-polar amino acids but serine is a polar amino acid. The side-chains of the non-polar amino acids will tend to face towards the interior of the beta sheet thereby forming hydrophobic interactions with each other, while the serine will tend to face the exterior of the beta sheet so that it can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
  • As the number of non-polar amino acids is far more than polar amino acids so the effect of non-polar amino acids will prevail in the beta-sheet.
