When egg white is heated, it hardens and is opaque. This cooking process cannot be reversed, but hard-boiled egg white can be di

ssolved by heating it in a solution containing SDS (strong detergent) and 2-mercaptoethanol (reducing agent). Neither reagent alone has any effect.
a. Why does boiling an egg white cause it to harden and become opaque?
b. Why does it require both a reducing agent and a detergent to dissolve the hard-boiled egg white?

Answer:

Generally proteins are denatured at high temperature.Therefore when  the egg is hard boiled they are denatured since eggs are protein,  the 3-dimensional  structure of protein is lost, and it is replaces with tangled meshwork of polypeptide chains .This is because the  orderly arrangements of  disulphide bonds in proteins  are disrupted , which  results in the formation of inter chains bonds among   disulphide bonds, making the protein molecules to link together.This explains the reason for the 3-D structure disruption  and formation of  a macro molecule.

However,   the  addition of reducing agent ,  breaks the covalent disulphide bonds.   While detergent breaks the interchain bonds among the disulphide bonds.  (The noncovalent bonds),These combined effects untangled the  mesh networks of polypeptides formed, and reduces the hardened nature,

What is the functional advantage of the alveolar walls being so thin?
Sati [7]
Alveolar walls are thin to enable the quick passage of oxygen in and out of the lungs. The lungs works hand-in-hand with the heart and also is responsible in converting blood that's de-oxygenated into an oxygenated blood that is usable by the organ systems of the body. The alveolar walls are also designed to have thin membranes so that it can expand and constrict quickly allowing us to breather properly.

Monozygotic twins are __________, while dizygotic twins are __________. the result of mitosis; the result of meiosis fraternal;
Marrrta [24]
I think the correct answer would be the last option. Monozygotic twins are identical, while dizygotic twins are fraternal. Identical twins involves developing from one zygote where it splits, forming two embryos so that the twins would have more or less the same characteristics. This type of twins can share the same amniotic sac depending on the time the fertilized egg is divided. On the other hand, fraternal twins developed from two eggs wherein they are being fertilized by two different sperm cells resulting to twins which has different characteristics. For this type, the two fertilized eggs would develop separate amniotic sacs.
