Answer:

Based on the molecular weight given - 17,000, the protein in the red blood cells is Haemoglobin A (Hb A).

Explanation:

The technique used for protein molecule separation based on their molecular size of protein in molecular biology study along with a reference protein marker for the identification of exact unknown protein size is known as SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. During the separation method of protein, DNA and RNA,  etc, Sodium dodecyl sulfate is a synthetic organic compound used as a surfactant in the lysis solution.

Based on the molecular weight given - 17,000, the protein in the red blood cells is Haemoglobin A (Hb A). Its function is to carry oxygen from the respiratory organs to the rest of the body and tissues. Hb A is found in the form of a tetramer, that is, it contains four subunits proteins consisting of two alpha and two beta subunits each consist of 141 & 146 amino acid residues. Each subunit has a molecular size of about 16000 daltons approx and they are structurally similar and have the same size.

<h2>Gelatin </h2>

Explanation:

Gelatin is a differential medium which tests the ability of an organism to produce an exoenzyme, called gelatinase (this enzyme hydrolyzes gelatin)

When gelatin is at a temperature below 32°C (or within a few degrees thereof), it is a semisolid material and at temperatures above 32°C, it is a viscous liquid

When gelatin is broken down, it can no longer solidify and if an organism can break down gelatin, the areas where the organism has grown will remain liquid even if the gelatin is refrigerated

No the conclusion by student is not right because the tube must be runny after incubation followed by refrigeration to be considered gelatinase positive

Reactant product
gogolik [260]

Answer:

4 grams

Explanation:

If in an experiment, we have 4g of reactants, the mass of the products will also be 4g.

This is in compliance with the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.

According to this law,

  "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but changed from one form to another".

If:

      A + B →  C

         4g        4g

mass of A and B must be equal to the mass of the product according to the law of conservation of mass.
