How many different proteins, each with a unique amino acid sequence, can be constructed with a length of 6 amino acids?

Biology
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago
5 0
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 of them in existence. For this item, we are to identify the number of different proteins that can be formed. 

In the first position in the sequence, we can have 20 amino acids. Then, because one of which was already used for the first position, 19 amino acids can still be written in the second place. This goes on, and the number of proteins can be calculated as follow,
   number of proteins = 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15
   number of proteins = 27,907,200

<em>ANSWER: 27, 907, 200 proteins</em>

List four ways in which members of the same species can cooperate with each other.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Cooperation is common in non-human animals. Besides cooperation with an immediate benefit for both actors, this behavior appears to occur mostly between relatives.[1] Spending time and resources assisting a related individual may at first seem destructive to the organism’s chances of survival but is actually beneficial over the long-term. Since relatives share part of their genetic make-up, enhancing each other’s chances of survival may actually increase the likelihood that the helper’s genetic traits will be passed on to future generations.[6] The cooperative pulling paradigm is an experimental design used to assess if and under which conditions animals cooperate. It involves two or more animals pulling rewards towards themselves via an apparatus they can not successfully operate alone.[7]

4. Describe the cell cycle and cell division and explain their importance to an organism.
Marianna [84]
<span>The main reasons why cell division is important in organisms are reproduction, repair and growth. Cell division is necessary in order for life to continue.
</span><span>
The length of the cell cycle is important because it determines how quickly an organism can multiply. For single-celled organisms, this rate determines how quickly the organism can reproduce new, independent organisms. </span><span>Most of the differences in cell cycle duration between species and cells are found in the duration of specific cell cycle phases. DNA replication, for example, generally proceeds faster the simpler the organisms. One reason for this trend is simply that prokaryotic have smaller genomes and not as much DNA to be replicated.</span>

What happens to electrons when pigments in photosystem 2 absorb light?
gladu [14]

When one of the many pigments in the photosystem II absorbs light, the energy is directed inward from pigment to pigment until and unless it reaches the center of reaction. There, energy is conducted towards P680, thus, boosting an electron to a higher level of energy.
