When a flu virus enters the body, the immune system creates antibodies made of polypeptide chains to fight the virus. The specif

ic shape of the protein allows it to bind to the virus and deactivate it. How does the antibody’s primary protein structure create the specific shape to bind to flu viruses?
A) The sequence of amino acids determines where hydrogen bonds form between segments of the polypeptide backbone. The hydrogen bonds and interactions between the side chains give the antibody its shape.
B) The sequence of amino acids determines where hydrogen bonds form between the amino acids’ side chains. The peptide bonds and interactions between the side chains give the antibody its shape.
C) The antibody’s primary structure consists of hydrogen bonds formed between segments of the polypeptide backbone. These determine how the amino acids’ side chains will interact, which gives the antibody its shape.
D) The antibody’s primary structure consists of disulfide bridges that twist and bend the polypeptide chain and give the antibody its shape. The antibody’s shape allows it to bind to a protein from the virus.

Answer: Option D

Explanation: The basic unit of antibody includes two identical light and heavy chains represented by L, H respectively. These heavy chains H and light chains L binds together by disulfide bonds to form a flexible Y shape.

Thus, the stem of the Y shaped antibody is called the constant region, and the tips are known as the variable region. It is these tips that bind antigen or protein from the virus.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

How would I explain it?
Zina [86]

Answer:

What would explain the change in reaction rate —degradation of cellulose by the enzyme cellulase—after 75 minutes is the depletion of the substrate on which the enzyme must act.

Explanation:

A chemical enzymatic reaction, such as cellulase degradation of cellulose, occurs until the substrate is consumed.

The solution to which cellulase is added has the same concentration of cellulose, and what is done is to add enzyme. In the graph you can see that the reaction takes place over time, decreasing the amount of glucose obtained. From 75 minutes onwards the reaction rate decreases as well as the amount of glucose obtained from the reaction, which is due to the fact that the substrate —cellulose— is being depleted.

victus00 [196]

Answer to Question 1:

True

Explanation

As indicated in the passage, fruiting bodies of fungi differ structurally. However, different species can appear to be similar and often misleading thus creating the risk of food poisoning.

Question 2:

Many experiments require student-supplied items, such as _____.

1. Chicken

2. Fresh flowers

3. Distilled water

4. All of the Above.

Answer to Question 2:

The correct answer is 3.

Explanation

Water comes in varying degrees of purity. When water that contains other substrates or impurities is used for an experiment, it distorts the results and creates errors. So the scientist's ability to determine the root of a problem becomes enervated.

Using distilled water impurities removes the possibility of such an error. Distilled water is also used for cleaning laboratory equipment.

Cheers
