Protein folding is determined by a variety of factors, from the amino acid composition all the way through to primary, secondary and tertiary structures of the proteins. Proteins fold in water environments, and how they fold is determined by the hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and charge of amino acids. Amino acids that are hydrophobic will face away from water environments, while hydrophilic amino acids will face towards water environments. This gives rise to primary and secondary structures such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. Among these are a variety of structures that form the tertiary structures. The different types of amino acids play an essential role in this, as they are the building blocks of proteins and can affect the structures of proteins because of their charge and affinity for water.

Which antibiotic would you use to determine if the recombinant dna was taken in?
Brrunno [24]
Antibiotic used include kenamycin, ampicillin and tetracycline. This is useful to determine if and which bacteria took up the plasmid as they were supposed to during the process of recombination. Host bacteria are normally killed by these antibiotics. If the recombinant plasmids were taken up by the bacteria, plasmid may have contained a DNA gene for resisting the effects of one or more antibiotics. Host bacteria are placed in a growth medium containing an antibiotic to which they have a resistant gene in their recombinant plasmid DNA survivor. If they havent taken the plasmid they die.

Harry is driving on the interstate highway for the first time since he obtained his license. He is nervous and wants to get off
likoan [24]

The correct answer is sympathetic nervous system.

In the given case, the harry is experiencing stress, which provokes the flight and fight syndrome. The sympathetic nervous system causes the release of  adrenaline and noradrenaline causing change in physiological responses. During the flight and fight response, a hyperarousal occurs, which leads to the change in physiological responses. It causes the increased heart beat, increased blood pressure, anxiety, increase in pulse, increased sweating etc.

Is diffusion the only way materials can enter the cell? Explain.
Anettt [7]
Of course not! There's lots of ways materials can enter. It also depends on the cell; whether it has cell wall and cell membrane or only cell membrane.

Besides diffusion, there's also osmosis and active transport.

If the cell has only cell membrane, it means it's partially permeable, which means osmosis can happen.

*hope this helps :)
