The atomic mass of a carbon isotope that has 6 protons and 7 neutrons is 13

Explanation:

Remember that whilst the atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, the mass number represents the summation of protons and neutrons particles in the atomic nuclei. Therefore, in this case, the carbon will have a mass number of;

6 + 7 = 13

Isotopes of an element usually have the same atomic number but different mass numbers -because they have slightly different numbers of neutrons. An example is isotopes of Carbon; C-14 and C-12

The R group or side chain of the amino acid leucine is non-polar. The R group of serine is polar. Where would you expect to find

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Serine will be on the exterior of the globular protein while leucine on the interior of the globular proteins

Explanation:

The nature or solubility of the side cham determines the poition of amino acid on the globular protein and it is either hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

Serine is an hydrophilic amino acid and so it is position on the surface of the globular protein (Exterior)

While Leucine side chain is hydrophobic in nature is positioned on the interior of the globular protein.
