The shape of a protein molecule resembles BEADS ON A STRING.

Proteins are macro molecules that are formed from amino acids. There are different types of amino acids, thus, different amino acids combine together to form different types of protein. This means that, proteins are formed from sequences of amino acids; they are long chains of different amino acids, that is why, they are likened to beads on string.

The structures of proteins are in three dimensions, they are primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure refers to the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The amino acids in the primary structure are linked together by peptide bonds.

vesna_86 [32]
So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density

Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.

- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.

- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.

- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.

- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.

- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.

Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)

Phosphagens are a group of molecules that includes creatine phosphate (in vertebrates), and arginine phosphate, lombricine, and
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Phosphagen provides the needed energy for the muscle tissues which can not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation. They supply immediate but limited energy as sudden demands for lots of energy by the muscle tissues arise.

Explanation:

Phosphagens are high energy storage compounds majorly found in muscular tissue of animals.

They allow maintenance of the high energy phosphate stores in its normal concentration ranges which discard the problems associated with ATP-consuming reactions in these tissues as against the presence of adenosine triphosphate.

The muscle tissues are actively working and need constant supply of energy and the energy produced by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation might not sum up to the needs of the tissues. So therefore, phosphagens serve as a stand by mechanism for energy production for the tissues mostly during sustained muscle activity.

The man, the muscle cells' phosphocreatinine concentration is more than three times the concentration of ATP and represent a ready reserve of high energy phosphate that can be donated directly to Adenosine diphosohate to release energy.

Different organisms use different biomolecule as a phosphagen. Majority of animals use arginine as their phosphagen, chordates use creatinine, annelids use lombricine.

They all perform these similar functions described above.

A sample of potassium chlorate (15.0 g) is dissolved in 201 g of water at 70 °c with precautions taken to avoid evaporation of a
zlopas [31]
Answer is: unsaturated.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 30 grams in 100 grams of water.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 10 grams in 100 grams of water.
So if dissolve 15 g of potassium chlorate in 201 g of water, there is less salt than it solubility and solution is unsaturated.
