Because when you live in the middle of one, you have less rocking and less moving of the earth under you. If you were to live near a plate, the plate would move up, down, or side to side and make your house or any building move up and down.

What would happen to the ecosystem if there were no nitrogen-fixing bacteria

Gre4nikov [31]

Essentially all the available nitrogen for life in the form of nitrates and ammonia would eventually disappear. Nitrogen is needed to make proteins and other chemicals so it is required for all life to exist. It gets recycled so it would take many decades in most places before the available nitrogen ran out. Many crops like beans depend on it. Humans can manufacture it but it would be hard on the ecosystems of the world and eventually probably lead to the extinction of all the ecosystems of the world.

Hope this helps!

Indicate the peptides that would result from cleavage by the indicated reagent: a. Gly-Lys-Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg-Ala-Phe by trypsin b.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a. Gly-Lys + Leu-Ala-Cys-Arg + Ala-Phe

b. Glu-Ala-Phe + Gly-Ala-Tyr

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember which peptidic bonds can break each protease:

-) Trypsin

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of lysine or arginine.

-) Chymotrypsin

It breaks selectively the peptidic bond in the carbonyl group of phenylalanine, tryptophan, or tyrosine.

With this in mind in "peptide a", the peptidic bonds that would be broken are the ones in the "Lis" and "Arg" (See figure 1).

In "peptide b", the peptidic bond that would be broken is the one in the "Phe" (See figure 2). The second amino acid that can be broken is tyrosine, but this amino acid is placed in the C terminal spot, therefore will not be involved in the hydrolysis.
