Advocard [28]

Answer:

Proten W

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE gel is a method used for the separation of proteins in which proteins are separated based on their length (smaller proteins move faster through the gel, due to less resistance).

When treated with proteolytic enzymes, proteins are cut and become short fragment. This means that the fragments formed after the use of proteolytic enzymes, will move faster and thus, migrate a longer distance. Proteolytic enzymes in Set 2 cells will act only on plasma membrane proteins (because they cannot penetrate), while in Set 2 they will act on both, plasma membrane and interior proteins. Control group will have only the large fragments (not treated with enzyme).

Protein W travels the same distance on a gel of proteins from Set 1 and Set 2, but different than control group. It means that the proteolytic enzyme worked the same on Set 1 and Set 2.

Both rocks are different from one another because one rock is formed from small pieces of rock while the other is made of liquid rock. Due to formation from different types of materials both rocks are different from one another. If both rocks are formed from small pieces of rock or liquid rock, then we can say that both rocks are similar to each other in composition.
