Answer:

The correct answer is - reduced thoracic (lung) compliance.

Explanation:

Reduced lung compliance is characterized by the stiffness in the lung and required extra work to internalize normal volume of the air in the thoracic cavity.

It is caused as the lungs, in this case, are become fibrotic, become stiffer and distensibility. Due to the enzyme activity elastic tissue becomes damaged in case of emphysema in highly compliant lungs.

Thus, the correct answer is - reduced thoracic compliance.

Disulfide bonds are important in determining and stabilizing protein structure. Which amino acid, if mutated, will affect the fo
elixir [45]

Answer:

c. cysteine

Explanation:

Cysteine is a non essential amino acid. It contains sulfur in form of thiol group. A disulfide bond or bridge is formed between two thiol groups. It is represented as S-S. It is formed by oxidation of two cysteine molecules. The resultant disulfide bond is called as cystine which connects two polypeptide chains.

Cysteine is the only amino acid capable of forming disulfide bridge. It stabilizes protein's globular structure and plays an important role in protein folding and stability. Cysteine is required for protein synthesis, metabolic processes and detoxification. It is the part of beta-keratin which is the main protein in nails, hair and skin. If cysteine is mutated, formation of disulfide bond will be affected.
