Answer:

Each protein with a specific structure and function

The unique three dimensional shape of proteins is based on several superimposed levels of structure

Explanation:

Proteins are essential nutrients for human and a vital source of fuel for building body tissues. They are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. These amino acids act as precursor to nucleic acids, hormones, immune, repair of tissues among others.

Proteins contain 20 amino acids which are the building block for proteins. These amino acids can be reformed to create millions of protein in human body in which each protein has specific structure and function.

The three dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid chain is know as the protein structure. The precise shape formed determine the protein function.

why might changes to the gulf coast prairies and marshes ecoregion happen more quickly then to other ecoregion?
liq [111]
The reason for this is because it is closer to water, therefor they have more events that could happen. Also there is a lot of weathering, erosion, and deposition which makes the gulf coast prairies and marshes more susceptible to changes. 

I hope this helps!

A plant is treated with a chemical that blocks the flow of electrons between photosystem II and photosystem I, such that protons
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Reduce or stop the production of energy molecule i.e ATP

Explanation:

Proton is an essential ingredient to carry out light reactions successfully and the proton requirement is fulfilled through the proton gradient formed along the membrane. A chemical that blocks the flow of electrons thereby hindering the flow of proton will adversely affect the electron transport chain reactions thereby causing reduced/no conversion of ADP to ATP.

The action potential spreads through an axon by Group of answer choices depolarizing adjacent membrane to threshold, triggering
Step2247 [10]

The action potential spreads through an axon by depolarizing adjacent membrane to threshold.

  • K+ departs the cell after Na+, which enters the cell first. Ions can move freely across the axon membrane because of the difference during the action potential.
  • Because sodium contains a positive charge, the neuron becomes more positive and depolarized. Potassium channels take longer to open. As soon as the cell does open, K+ rushes out, reversing the depolarization known as repolarization.
  • Sodium channels close during the peak of the action potential when potassium leaves the cell. When potassium ions are effluxed, the membrane potential is lowered or the cell becomes hyperpolarized.
  • Outside of the cell, the concentration of Na+ is greater than inside the cell. while the concentration of K+ is  is greater inside the cell than outside.

We have looked at the cloning experiments involved in producing Snuppy. Describe the specific technique that was used and how th
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Cloning may be defined as the process by which the genetically identified individual of the organism can be created artifically or naturally. Aseual reproduction results in the formation of clone.

The microsatellite analysis is used to prove that snuppy is a clone. Microsatellites are the highly variable DNA sequences repeats that has variable loci and considered at population level. The two alleles are possible for the one microsatellite locus. After comparing the alleles it has been found that snuppy has exactly the same genetic material as the surrogate mother, afghan. This completely determines that snuppy is a clone of afgan.
