barxatty [35]

Answer:

Options-(A,B,C,E):

Except "D"(which is associated with the lipid anchor in the cell structure for protein molecules).

Hydropathy plot:

In order to identify the different protein structures and its possible domains or traces on the basis of quantitative analysis.

As the trans-membrane alpha-helix and the amphipathic alpha-helix,along with the membrane-associated proteins.

Explanation:

Amino acids quantitative analysis:

In order to perform the quantitative analyses of the amino acids and its traces inside the different cell structures we draw a plot known as hydrophathy plot for knowing the degree or level of the materials presence.
