Technically this can be answered in a number of ways. But in elementary biology the cell is considered to be the basic unit of life.
Structural adaptations are biological characters of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behaviour.
<h3>Define adaptation?</h3>
Adaptation, the method by which a species becomes adapted to its surroundings; it is the outcome of biological selection's acting upon heritable divergence over various generations.

Replacing lysine with aspartic acid is really a change in the primary structure (the sequence of the amino acids - think in a chain). But because they are really different amino acids, the effect is much more profound and will affect the tertiary structure of the protein.
Lysine has a basic, positively charged side chain. Aspartic acid has a negatively charged carboxyl group for its side chain. So, they are two very different amino acids.
Since the tertiary structure of a protein is a result of the interactions of the various interactions of the amino acid side chains, you have to think about what a swap of a basic positive amino acid with a negatively charged amino acid could cause.
For example, if the lysine side chain interacted in ionic interactions (i.e. attraction to a negatively charged amino acid), if you swap it for aspartic acid which is negatively charged it will now repel the other amino acid's side chain and that would disrupt the tertiary structure of the protein. It would also likely cause disruption to the quaternary structure as well.
If this change was in an important part of the protein (e.g. the active site of an enzyme) then it would likely disrupt the proper functioning of this protein.
If you wanted to make the least amount of change to a protein by making a mutation to that lysine amino acid, you would choose other basic amino acids which are histidine and arginine.
Answer:
Typically, they will work in a range of areas giving public talks - typically museums, zoos and aquariums, sea life centers and parks, in protected waterways and at research facilities where public engagement of science is part of the remit (oceanography institutes).
Explanation:
The basic structure of a cell membrane is in three parts; the internal membrane surface, the external membrane surface and the intervening phospholipid material. This intervening material is impermeable to ions and polar molecules and it prevents polar solutes likie amino acids from moving across the membrane but permits the passive diffusion of hydrophobic molecules.. The external and internal cell membranes are selectively permeable and can regulate what comes into or goes out of the cell and in so doing allows for the transport of materials needed for survival.
