Which statement regarding protein structure is true? Van der Waals interactions are insignificant. Hydrophilic side chains are n
Nata [24]

Answer:

The true statement is <em>Hydrophobic side chains are usually in the interior of the native structure</em>.

Explanation:

In the native structure of a protein, the hydrophobic side chains of aminoacids- such as leucine (Leu), alanine (Ala), methionine (Met), and others-are located in the interior of the structure. They are buried inside the structure, whereas polar side chains are exposed to the outside in the structure, and they interact with water molecules.

Regarding the other statements, entropy-as a measure of disorder of a system-is very important in protein stability as we know that native conformations are more ordered systems, with lower entropy and higher stability. Aminoacids in the protein structure interact each other through Van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds.

What is the difference in trophic level efficiency between herbivores and Carnivores?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Herbivores eat plants who are the major producers of chemical energy in the ecosystem. Plants undergo photosynthesis through sunlight(solar energy) and other compounds such as Carbon dioxide and Water to give Oxygen and Glucose. The herbivores eat the plants directly and are able to utilize a greater percentage of energy. Carnivores eat the herbivores and get energy but in a lesser form compared to the herbivores.

This simply means trophic level efficiency in the ecosystem is higher for herbivores and lower for the carnivores.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever.
