Answer:
The solubility of any substance in water depends on its polarity. The polar molecule dissolves more easily in the water than the non polar molecule. Amino acids have different polarity at different pH.
(a) (Lys-Ala)3 : The (Lys-Ala)3 contain more positive charge and highly polar the at pH 7 as compared with the (Gly)20 that remains uncharged and has less polarity.
(b) (Glu)20 :This amino acids negatively charged at pH 7 and highly polar than the (Phe-Met)3 which is non polar or less polar and hence least soluble in water.
(c) (Asn-Ser-His)5 is highly polar at pH 3 as compared with the (Ala-Asp-Gly)5 that contains the carboxylate groups of Asp residues that are partially neutral. The (Asn-Ser-His)5 contains = the imidazole groups of His residues are fully polar and soluble in water.
(d) (Asn-Ser-His)5 is polar at pH 6.0 because both have polar side chains Ser but (Asn-Ser-His)5 is only partially partially protonated due to the His side chains. Thus, (Asn-Ser-His)5 is more soluble in water.
Explanation:
In all living system we can always find basic elements carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen, carbon is the basic building unit contained in living matter. The percentage of carbon in the mass of living matter is 19.0% oxygen and hydrogen are present in almost all organic compound which creates living organisms.
Answer:
The answer is d. pyruvate
Explanation:
An oxidizing agent is the substance that gains electrons in a chemical reaction. At the end of the reaction it is reduced and its oxidation state increased.
A reducing agent is the substance that loses electrons in a chemical reaction. At the end of the reaction it is oxidized and its oxidation state decreased.
Pyruvate gains one electron, it is reduced from pyruvate to lactate; thus, pyruvate is the oxidizing agent.
NADH loses one electron, it is oxidized from NADH to NAD; thus, NADH is the reducing agent
Answer:
C. Melting and Solidification
Explanation:
The correct answer is: 2.5%
The vast majority of the human genome (97.5%) is comprised of non-coding DNA with different functions. Non-coding DNA includes telomeres, introns, non-coding RNA genes and gene regulatory sequences.
• Telomeres-ends of DNA with protective role (prevents shortening of DNA),
• Non-coding RNA genes-e.g. genes for tRNA,
• Gene regulatory sequences such as promoter, enhancers and silencers.
