The variations in the physical characteristics between different proteins are influenced by the overall amino acid compositions,

Answer:

Sequence

Explanation:

Physical properties of the proteins are foundation of biological function of them.

A protein molecule is made up from the long chain of the amino acids. Each amino acid is linked to its neighbor by covalent peptide bond. Thus, proteins are also called as polypeptides.

Each protein has unique sequence of the amino acids, exactly same from one molecule to next. Different proteins has its own particular sequence of amino acid. This sequence is responsible for folding and binding of the protein and also its physical characteristics.

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?

Nookie1986 [14]

The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
Hope this helps :)

PLZ HELP ME ASAP!!! 1 which of earths spheres contains most of its mass?

ivann1987 [24]

1. The answer is; C

The geosphere is made up of the physical rocks (composed of metals and minerals) and magma in the different layers. These densities of these rocks surpass those of other spheres such as the atmosphere and hydrosphere.

2. The answer is; B

Destructive forces break down land. Weathering and erosion are categorized as slow destructive forces because they take many years for their effect to be perceptible to the human's scale. Quick destructive forces are forces such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

3. The answer is; B

The atmosphere on earth is mainly composed of molecular nitrogen at 78%. Oxygen takes up 21% and other gases found in the atmosphere are hydrogen, carbon dioxide,ozone, dust, and water vapor at 1%.

4. The answers that apply are ; A & B

The formula for gravity force is given by the equation.; F(gravity) = (G*m1*m2)/d^2 where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and d is the distance between them.

5. The answer is; C

The force of inertia is due to their celestial mass. The larger the mass the higher the inertia. Inertia is the tendency of a moving object to maintain a straight path without an external force applied to it. This, therefore, prevents the moon from being pulled into collision with the earth. Gravity, on the other hand, prevents the moon from flying out of its orbit and away into space.

Omg GUYS I NEED HELPPP

27) Partial pressure of oxygen: 57.8 kPa

29) Final volume: 80 mL

30) Final volume: 8987 L

31) Due to property of water of being polar, ice floats on water

Explanation:

27)

In a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is the sum of the partial pressures:

$p_T = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_N$

In this problem, the mixture contains 3 gases (helium, carbon dioxide and oxygen). We know that the total pressure is

$p_T=201.4 kPa$

We also know the partial pressures of helium and carbon dioxide:

$P_{He}=125.4 kPa\\P_{CO_2}=18.2 kPa$

The total pressure can be written as

$p_T=p_{He}+p_{CO_2}+p_{O_2}$

where $p_{O_2}$ is the partial pressure of oxygen. Therefore, we find

$p_{O_2}=p_T-p_{He}-p_{CO_2}=201.4-125.4-18.2=57.8 kPa$

29)

Assuming that the pressure of the gas is constant, we can apply Charle's law, which states that:

"For an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically,

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$

where

V is the volume of the gas

T is the Kelvin temperature

We can re-write it as

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Here we have:

$V_1 = 42 mL$ (initial volume)

$T_1=-89^{\circ}C+273=184 K$ is the initial temperature

$T_2=77^{\circ}C+273=350 K$ is the final temperature

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$V_2=\frac{V_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(42)(350)}{184}=80 mL$

30)

For this problem, we can use the equation of state for ideal gases, which can be written as

$\frac{p_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1 = 102.3 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1=1975 L$ is the initial volume

$T_1=25^{\circ}C+273=298 K$ is the initial temperature

$p_2=21.5 kPa$ is the final pressure

$T_2=12^{\circ}C+273=285 K$ is the final temperature

And solving for V2, we find the final volume of the balloon:

$V_2=\frac{p_1 V_1 T_2}{p_2 T_1}=\frac{(102.3)(1975)(285)}{(21.5)(298)}=8987 L$

31)

A molecule of water consists of two atoms hydrogen bond with an atom of oxygen ( $H_2 O$ ) in a covalent bond.

While the molecul of water is overall neutral, due to the higher electronegativity of the oxygen atom, electrons are slightly shifted towards the oxygen atom; as a result, there is a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen side, and a slightly negative charge on the oxygen side (so, the molecules is said to be polar).

As a consequence, molecules of water attract each other, forming the so-called "hydrogen bonds".

One direct consequence of the polarity of water is that ice floats on liquid water.

Normally, for every substance on Earth, the solid state is more dense than the liquid state. However, this is not true for water, because ice is less dense than liquid water.

This is due to the polarity of water. In fact, when the temperature of water is decreased to freezing point and water becomes ice, the hydrogen bondings "force" the molecules to arrange in a lattice structure, so that the molecules become more spaced when they turn into solid state. As a result, ice occupies more volume than water, and therefore it is less dense, being able to float on water.

With circulation, the heart provides your body with:

Ivanshal [37]

<h3>Answer: D) all of the above</h3>

Explanation:

The lungs pump oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, which goes through the blood stream to help with the cell's energy needs.

Nutrients pass through the blood stream as well. The nutrients start with the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine) before going into the blood stream. The nutrients are building blocks to help make new cells when old ones die off.

When those cells die off, the body sheds them like dead skin, but internal dead cells are passed off as waste. This waste and other byproducts the body doesn't need passes through the blood stream as well.

In short, the blood stream is basically the highway to help get desired materials (eg: oxygen and nutrients) and get rid of waste (eg: carbon dioxide and other unwanted byproducts or dead cell material)

So that's why the answer includes A, B and C.
