Almost all amino acids are chiral. The body only uses L amino acids, and proteins are chains of amino acids that in the most sim

ple sense fold up into a single structure by themselves when they are formed. Do you think a cell could live with all D (the opposite of L) amino acids, explain your logic. When I ask 'live', I mean could the organism/cell be composed completely of D amino acids and live (This is just a thought question, don't bother trying to find the answer anywhere…)

Answer:

An organism that is completely composed D amino acids cannot survive.

Explanation:

Most of amino acids in all organism are present in L conformation.As result  in all organism the enzymes are specific for L amino acids but not for D amino acids.

   Bacterial cell wall contain some D amino acids such as D glutamate,D alanine but not entirely composed of D amino acids.

How does a tree speed up erosion? How can it slow erosion down?
GREYUIT [131]
A tree is able to speed up erosion because it break up rocks. This can happen as it’s roots grow through rocks, the water breaks through rocks, etc.
It can slow erosion down because it can act as a barrier to the elements that erode.

explain why the offsrping with Gg genes for pod color look the same as a pea plant with GG genes for pod color
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
This is more a biology question but anyway....
 G = the dominant gene aka. the one that is most likely to be seen because it is stronger than g. GG and Gg will both show the dominant gene's characteristics.

 g = the recessive gene. The only way this one's type can be seen in gg form with no dominant gene to overpower it
