One method for separating polypeptides utilizes their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water depe

nds upon the relative polarity of their R groups, particularly the number of ionized groups. The more ionized groups there are, the more soluble the polypeptide. Which polypeptide, ( Phe − Met ) 3 or ( Glu ) 20 , is more soluble at pH 7.0 ?

Answer:

Polypeptides are composed of amino acids, and we know amino acids are differently charged, have different R groups, and also have different isoelectric points. Depending on different isoelectric points and charged groups, the polypeptides can be separated and because a protein has its lowest solubility on its isoelectric point.

So in this question,

(a) (Lys-Ala)3 ; this is highly positively charged (polar) at pH 7 than (Gly)20 which is uncharged except for the amino and carboxyl terminal.

(b) (Glu)20 ; it is highly negatively charged at pH 7 whereas (Phe-Met)3 is much less polar and hence less soluble.

(c) (Asn-Ser-His)5 ; at pH 3, because in (Ala-Asp-Gly)5 the carboxylate groups of Asp residues are partially protonated and neutral, whereas in (Asn-Ser-His)5 , the imidazole groups of His residues are fully protonated and positively charged.

(d) (Asn-Ser-His)5; at pH 6.0; both polymers have polar Ser sidechains, but (Asn-Ser-His)5 also has the polar Asn side chains and partially protonated His side chains.

Answer:

The correct answer is c) logistic

Explanation:

Logistic growth occurs during a population growth when the resources are limiting. During logistic growth sigmoid (S-shaped) growth curve is produced when population size is placed over time.  

In logistic growth first the population increases slowly then after some time it increase on the logarithmic phase until it levels off near the maximum carrying capacity due to environmental resistance. Beyond this maximum carrying capacity growth rate does not increase and becomes constant.

This generates an s-shaped curve called a sigmoid curve which shows the logistic growth. So the correct answer is c.
