Amino acids

The function of a protein molecule depends on its shape which is governed by the amino acid sequence of the protein chain. Amino acids are the monomeric units which constitute the polypeptide chain (proteins). Amino acids are consists of a carboxyl group and amine group along with a specific side chain (R-group).  

The maximum number of amino acids has non-polar side chains. 20 different amino acids form the linear chains of protein that are linked through covalent peptide bonds. The protein molecules are formed during condensation reaction where a water molecule is removed between two amino acids and a peptide bond is formed.  

Protein exists in four different structures which include-

1. Primary

2. Secondary

3. Tertiary

4. Quaternary structure

The linear polypeptide chains fold to form the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins. Two different forms of secondary structure are alpha-helix and beta-plated sheets. The tertiary protein structure is a 3- dimensional protein structure.

The function of each protein molecule depends on its shape, which in turn is determined by the protein specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS.
Proteins are a type of macro molecules that are made from amino acids, each protein is a long chain of different amino acids. There are twenty different amino acids in existence. Protein carry out several crucial functions in the cells of living organisms. The specific functions which a protein carries out is determined by its shape and the three dimensional structure of the protein. The shape of the protein depend on the type of amino acids that made up the protein. <span />

What is the advatage of the epidermis being transparent
dmitriy555 [2]
The advantage of the epidermis being clear is that the light can pass by easily without a problem. If we could not let the light pass we would have no pigmentation and that means we would have no skin tone. We would all just be really white and out pigmentation would not be there.

In the area with the largest sea lamprey population, what is being done to reduce this population?
victus00 [196]
In the area with the largest sea lamprey population, a few things are done to reduce and control this population. Lampricide, Currently, the primary method to control sea lampreys utilizes a lampricide, called TFM, that kills sea lamprey larvae in streams with little or no impact on other fish.   Barriers,Barriers have been constructed to block the upstream migration of spawning sea lampreys; most barriers allow other fish to pass with minimal disruption. Barriers have eliminated lampricide treatment on some streams and reduced the stream distance requiring treatment on others. The Sterile-Male-Release-Technique, The sterile-male-release-technique aims to reduce the success of sea lamprey spawning. Each year male sea lampreys are collected and sterilized. When they are released back into streams the sterile males compete with normal males for spawning females. Lastly trapping, Sea lamprey traps are operated at various locations throughout the Great Lakes, often in association with barriers. Traps are designed to catch lampreys as they travel upstream to spawn.
