The correct answers are:

2) Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha - amino nitrogen atom on an alpha - carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid and

4) Peptides are polymers of amino acids.

A peptide bond is an amide type of covalent chemical bond. It is formed between two amino acids:  C1 (carbon end) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen end) of another. Peptide bonds are the basis for the formation of a peptide chain and consequently protein.  Formation of peptide bond is a condensation process, meaning that when two amino acids combine and link, water molecule is released and dipeptide is a product of that reaction.

The statement that is true about peptide bonds is;

"Peptide bonds form from nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha-amino nitrogen atom on an alpha-carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid."

<h2>Further Explanation:  </h2><h3>Amino acids  </h3>
  • Amino acids act as a building blocks of proteins. They are made up of an amide group (NH2) and a carboxyl group (COOH).
  • There are 21 amino acids present in proteins and are classified as either essential or non-essential.
  • Essential amino acids are those that are obtained from the diet as humans can not synthesis them. Non-essential amino acids on the other hand are those that can be synthesized in the body.
<h3>Proteins  </h3>
  • Proteins are among the four macro-molecules in living organisms others being; lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
  • Many amino acids join together through peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains that join to form proteins.
<h3>Peptide bonds  </h3>
  • Peptide bonds are type of amide linkages that join amino acids together to form polypeptides or proteins.
  • Each amino acid in a protein is joined to another by a peptide bond.
  • During the formation of a peptide bond a carboxyl group of one amino acid combine with an amino group of another amino acid and a molecule of water is released.
  • A nucleophilic attack by an electron pair on an alpha-amino nitrogen atom on an alpha-carboxyl carbon atom of another amino acid results to the formation of a peptide bond between two amino acid.
  • Therefore, peptide bond formation is an example of a dehydration reaction due to the release of water molecules.

Answer:

A. Oedema and ion imbalance

Explanation:

The proximal tubule is very important to the maintenance of homeostasis in the renal microenvironment. The alterations of the physiological functions will therefore distort the reabsorption of other ions. The blockage of sodium reabsorption into the channel will leads to an hypotonic internal environment. This will afterward leads to reduction of the reabsorption of water into the organ and increase the reabsorption of other ions into it. This will have clinical effect on the organism. Which is oedema of the extracellular surrounding of the tubules through accumulation of fluids and could lead to imbalance in neurological sense due to the imbalance in other ions.

How salt dissolves in water
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.

Hope this Helps :)

a surgeon is in operating room assisting on a lung transplant. he is working at the cellular level. true or false ?
Nat2105 [25]
The answer is false.

The group of similar cells working together to perform a specific job is called a tissue. The functional group of multiple tissues is called organ. Functionally related organs form organ systems, which all together form one organism.

So, surgeon is working at the organ level. The lungs are the organs of transpiration. Since they are organs, they consist of multiple tissues, which consist of many cells. But the surgeon does not work on one single cell, he works with the whole organ.
