Protein X is a protein that is composed of four subunits of equal size--alpha, beta, delta, and gamma--that are bound by either

noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges. Only the beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges. How many bands would you expect to see in an SDS PAGE experiment in which beta-mercaptoethanol, a reducing agent, is used?
a. 1b. 4c. Noned. 2e. 3

Answer:

The correct answer is e3

Explanation:

The given protein in the question proteib X contain four subunits of equal size alpha,beta,delta and gamma which are bound by either noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges and only beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges.

  As a result when the protein will undergo fragmentation it will generate 3 bands because the interaction that is present between alpha and beta subunit will break resulting in the formation of 2 bands. Now the most important fact is that the beta subunit is linked to delta subunit by di sulfide bond so when betamarcaptoethanol will act on protein X it will break the disulsulfide bond present between the beta and delta subunit to reduce both the subunit.

  Finally the interaction that is present between delta subunit and gamma subunit will be broken down to release the delta subunit which will form a single band during SDS PAGE..

Help with science plz! Giving brainlist :D

4.D if you think about it, all the other measurments include some source of movement, but inches does not.
5. this is true. the reason why is because if something is balance, it is of equal weight, so one cannot move because it is the same weight as the other, if it did move, it would not be balanced.
i hoped this has helped you, if it did, plz mark as brainliest

State two ways in which palisade tissue is a dapted for thotosynthesis?<br>​
olga nikolaevna [1]
Palisade mesophyll cells are closely packed to absorb the maximum light. They are at right angles to the surface of leaf to reduce the number of cross walls. Large vacuole pushes chloroplasts to the edge of a cell. Chloroplasts at edge enable short diffusion path for carbon dioxide and to absorb maximum light.
