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.

B. Why is there a huge demand of professionals in the field of agriculture​
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

There is an increase in demand for higher quality and quantity of food and other products.

Explanation:

There is an increase in demand for higher quality and quantity of food and other products. So, there is a huge requirement for technological innovation.  Investment is needed in research and development to develop crops that are pesticide-free, resistant to disease, and able to face various weather conditions.  Vertical farming and carbon-capture technology can be used to meet growing world food demands.

Ben Affleck has a cleft chin, but his ex-wife Jennifer Garner does not. Neither one of their two daughters (Violet and Seraphina
kherson [118]

Answer:

Ben - Y Xc

Jen - XCXC

Violet - XCXc

Seraphina - XCXc

Samuel- Y Xc

Explanation:

Given -

Ben has a cleft chin

Let the allele for cleft chin be "c"

and the allele for normal chin be "C"

When Ben with cleft chin mates with wife Jennifer Garner having normal chin, then the two girl child do not have cleft chin but the boy has cleft chin.

This means that the allele C could be X -linked and the mother is not the carrier but the father is

The genotype of father Ben would be Y Xc

Genotype of mother would be XCXC

Genotype of two daughters XCXc  , XCXc which means they are carrier for the next generation

Genotype of Boy - Y Xc

You farm kelp and sell the kelp for food and as fertilizer. The wastes from the kelp can be used in an integrated aquaculture sy
timama [110]
<span>A sustainable system refers to producing less or probably non-existent debris that are caused by the production of a particular material (i.e. produce, energy). This is a sustainable form of production of coupling algae growth and fish farming because you no longer need the supply of fish feed from other sources that are made artificially but rather, you are using the available algae growth that you are culturing. Farm fishing alone is non-renewable because this produces much waste that can directly harm the environment.<span>

"it is possible to combine two or more plant proteins with different essential amino acids to yield a complete protein."
leonid [27]
Yes i believe it is possible. Complete proteins are proteins with all the indispensable amino acids present in proper proportions; for example in foods like eggs, meat, fish, milk. Incomplete proteins on the other hand are food proteins that contain a limiting amount of one or more indispensable amino acids needed for growth; for example corn tortillas are lacking in lysine. It is possible to make a complete protein by combining together two incomplete protein foods in the same meal.
