Describe Dr. Vellend's unifying theory of ecological communities (the factors that determine community structure). Where do conc

epts like competition, predation, habitat suitability, disease and parasitism, and disturbance (most of what we covered this semester) fit into his theory

Answer and Explanation:

Community ecology is a discipline that studies the organism's communities and the manner in which populations of species interact with each other within a particular habitat. Mark Vellend is an eco-evolutionist that developed a theoretical framework of ecological communities from a unified functional perspective. This theory is based on four forces of evolutionary biology: selection, drift, dispersal and speciation. This theory is used to explain how species interactions including parasitism, competition and predation may influence population fluctuations. On the other hand, this theoretical framework can also be used to understand how colonization, disturbance and habitat suitability components alter the dynamics of interacting species.

One method for separating polypeptides makes use of their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water
Naddika [18.5K]

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.

What is converting the genetic code into the language of proteins?
Ulleksa [173]


This is a process called transcription and translation.

Information to synthesize a particular protein is found in DNA in the cell nucleus. This information is copied (transcribed)  onto messenger RNA or mRNA in short. The copying process is called transcription.

mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. Transfer RNA or tRNA then begins to read (translate) the information on the attached mRNA. This is the process of translation.

tRNA then fetches amino acids that correspond to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together into a chain. This chain of amino acids is the primary structure of  the protein.
