Which statement regarding protein structure is true? Van der Waals interactions are insignificant. Hydrophilic side chains are n

ever found in the interior. Hydrophobic side chains are usually in the interior of the native structure. Entropy is generally not a consideration when determining stability.

Answer:

The true statement is <em>Hydrophobic side chains are usually in the interior of the native structure</em>.

Explanation:

In the native structure of a protein, the hydrophobic side chains of aminoacids- such as leucine (Leu), alanine (Ala), methionine (Met), and others-are located in the interior of the structure. They are buried inside the structure, whereas polar side chains are exposed to the outside in the structure, and they interact with water molecules.

Regarding the other statements, entropy-as a measure of disorder of a system-is very important in protein stability as we know that native conformations are more ordered systems, with lower entropy and higher stability. Aminoacids in the protein structure interact each other through Van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds.

How are long term and short term environmental changes similar? and how are they different?
netineya [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Environmental changes occurs from time to time, we have the short term changes that do not last for a very long time and the long term changes that last for a while. Accumulate of short term changes can extend to long term as some of the long term effects are as a results of short term changes in the environment.

Short term environment changes can be favourable to some organism and adversely affect others. Raining season causes increase in growth and development of most plant species but a long period of drought and dryness makes its hard for some plant to strive while some plants can strive well in long period of drought. This makes the two changes different, the both have individual effects on plants response.

Around 40% of cats with white fur and blue eyes are deaf. The gene responsible is pleiotropic. What does this mean?
Fed [463]
Pleiotropy occurs when one gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. A single gene is responsible for pigmentation and hearing.
