Consider the observation that serine is the amino acid residue that can be replaced by another amino acid with the least effect

on protein structure and function. Which of the following is the most reasonable rationalization of this observation?
a. Serine is the amino acid residue that can be replaced with the least effect on protein structure and function.
b. Replacement of tryptophan causes the greatest effect on protein structure and function.
c. Replacements such as Lys→ and Leu → usually have very little effect on protein structure and function.

The question has incorrect option, however the question can be answered by the general explanation. On the basis of the general explanation the answer is as follows:

Answer:

The correct answer is - Serine has a small side chain that can fit in any relatively polar environment.

Explanation:

Serine is an amino acid that have a small side chain in comparison of other amino acid and can be replaced by another amino acid with very least effect on the structure and function of a particular protein as they can fit in any relatively polar environment.

Serine have hydroxyl group in their side chain. It is polar amino acid that can easily establish itself in any polar condition and cause least changes in protein structure and function.

Thus, the correct answer is - Serine has a small side chain that can fit in any relatively polar environment.

Nasim is driving on a snow-covered road, and her car begins to slide. The quick behavioral response and the increased heart rate
Luda [366]

Answer:

1. sympathetic

2. parasympathetic

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from adrenal medulla under emergency conditions. There is a series of physiological responses such as increased heart and breathing rate, an increased flow of blood to skeletal muscles, dilation of pupils, etc. These events helped Nasim to fight the stress conditions.  

Once she was relieved, the parasympathetic system is activated that shut down the physiological responses generated by sympathetic division. It slows down the breathing and heart rate and triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients to restore the energy level of cells.

Como se representa la molecula de agua y en cuantas partes
Hitman42 [59]
<span>¡La opinión de un químico sobre el mundo no es tan estrecha como se podría pensar! Sí, empezamos con el átomo, y luego pasamos a las reglas que gobiernan los tipos de unidades estructurales que se pueden hacer con ellos. Se nos enseña tempranamente a predecir las propiedades de la materia en masa de estos arreglos geométricos. Y luego llegamos a H2O, y estamos sorprendidos al descubrir que muchas de estas predicciones están muy lejos, y que el agua (y por implicación, la vida misma) ni siquiera debería existir en nuestro planeta. Pero pronto aprendemos que esta pequeña combinación de tres núcleos y ocho electrones posee propiedades especiales que lo hacen único entre los más de 15 millones de especies químicas que conocemos actualmente. Cuando nos detenemos a reflexionar sobre las consecuencias de esto, la química pasa de ser una ciencia arcana a un viaje de maravilla y placer mientras aprendemos a relacionar el mundo microscópico del átomo con el mundo mayor en el que todos vivimos.</span>
