Answer:

Water is known as a universal solvent as it allows for lots of salts and gases to dissolve in it. Water is found between living tissues. This helps for vitamins, minerals and gases to dissolve in the cell. Because of this, the cell lives as it gets glucose and oxygen needed for respiration(to produce energy) .

Also water helps in transport of substances around the body.

4a) From the sequence below, identify which portion could be a transmembrane helix. Please underline the portion you select in y
arlik [135]

Answer:

FRYVNGPVLIRKLYSWWNLIMILLQYFAIMGNLVMNLVMNTGDVNELTANTITT

The bold region of the above sequence will be in the transmembrane region.

4.b) To predict the helix we need to know the propensity of each amino acid in the amino acid sequence to form an alpha helix of the protein. Not only the propensity of a single amino acid will dictate that but also other amino acids in its vicinity will have an effect on it. More importantly, that should follow the Ramachandran plot.

4.c) I chosen that region based on the hydropathy index of the stretch of amino acids. The region of amino acids should have hydrophobic side chain because they will interact with the hydrophobic tail of the lipids in the cell membrane. So this region has higher hydropathy index than others. This lead me to choose that region.

How do the products of meiosis compare with the original cell? Think about chromosome number.
tatyana61 [14]
Well the offspring of the original cell are considered daughter cells (as they all reproduce) so with the knowledge I know when the cell doubles it’s going to look exactly like the mother cell and not just look but they all have the same job, which is to multiple. So I think that might be the answer. But if it’s multiple choice then I might be wrong because you didn’t provide any options.
