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.

Identify the structure of the human heart which is a valve that closes during each heartbeat to prevent blood from flowing back
Scilla [17]

The answer is pulmonary

valve. The pulmonary valve is found between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The valve is a semi-lunar valve that opens when the pressure in the right ventricle is higher than that in the pulmonary artery (because the ventricle is filled with blood). When the ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery, the pressure in the artery rises while that in the ventricle lowers. This closes the pulmonary valve preventing the backflow of blood into the right ventricle. Pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

Arrange the process of the water cycle in correct order, starting with the heat from the Sun.
Tanzania [10]

The labelled diagram is attached below & the correct sequence is shown below:

4. Sun Heat - The heat of sun causes water to evaporate.

2. Evaporation- vaporization of water

6. Condensation - The conversion of water vapours from gaseous to liquid state.

1. Precipitation - water falls from clouds in the form of rain, snow or sleet.

5. Run off - The surface water is a major part of the collected water, flows from top of any surface (form rain, snow etc)

3. Collection of water - The rain water is collected.
