Answer:
The correct answer is: d. progressive stabilisation of correct secondary structural intermediates, and unfolding of incorrect structures, until the final structure is attained.
Explanation:
- Protein folding is a sequential process and not a random one.
- It is necessary that a protein must fold in such a way that in the end it is able to attain the particular conformation which is required for its function.
- The folding of an amino acid sequence is a process that is thermodynamically favourable.
- This is because in a folded protein the hydrophobic amino acids escapes from interacting with water molecules and hence gets stabilised.
- A folded protein has lower energy and is more stable than a linear polypeptide chain.
- The folding of an amino acid linear chain into a protein takes place in the following way:
- The folding of the amino acid sequence begins during the process of translation of the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) by Ribosome. (Co-translational folding)
- This is because initially the linear amino acid sequence forms a secondary structure (alpha helix, beta sheet) which is formed between the nearby amino acid residues.
- These structures form progressively and sequentially and each structure after formation is checked for its correct conformation before the next structure (tertiary structure) is formed.
- If an incorrect folding has occurred, the folded polypeptide chain opens up and refolds until correct orientation is attained.
- Folding, opening and refolding process continues until the correct conformation of the protein is attained.
These would be the decomposers - bacteria and fungi.
Answer: positive sodium ions
Explanation:
This relates to the Action Potential which is what a nerve cell goes through when it needs to send information down the nerve cell to another cell and so on till it gets to the destination of the message.
The information is transmitted when the segments of the axon fire and when they do, positive sodium ions come in from outside the cell to the inside thereby making the inside positive. The previous segment would return to a resting potential when potassium ions which are negative, rush into the cell.
I think it is subsoil but i’m not completely sure
In mitosis, the chromatin condenses to form chromosomes during prophase.
