Answer:

e. unique three-dimensional shape of the fully folded polypeptide.

Explanation:

The tertiary structure of a protein is the unique three-dimensional structure which emanates from the interaction between the “R groups” of the several amino acids that make up the polypeptide. Hydrogen bonding is one of the interactions that occur that gives the protein this structure. Other interactions are ionic bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, hydrophobic interactions, among others. The function of a protein is dependent on its tertiary structure, as a disruption of the tertiary structure causes a protein to be denatured, thereby rendering the protein not functional.

Answer:

e. unique three-dimensional shape of the fully folded polypeptide

Explanation:

The arrangement of protein molecule in  a compact form from the 3-D coiling or  folded chains of amino acids is tertiary structure. It  is the bonding and interaction (disulphide and  hydrophobic interaction)   of secondary  and primary protein(amino acid sequence) structure  which result in 3-D folding or arrangements  in a compact form. Each tertiary protein structure usually contain a polypeptide chain with the amino acids sides chains. it is the interactions of these amino acids sides chains within the protein which  determines the tertiary structure.

Tertiary proteins are  stabilized by the disulphide bridges and hydrogen bonding used to form 3-D arrangements.

Examples are- lysozyme and myoglobin. Generally globular proteins are tertiary proteins.

A force of 2.20 N is exerted on a 7,20 g rifle bullet. What is the bullet's acceleration? (Enter your answer in m/s^ 2 )
sweet [91]

Answer:

The answer is 306 m/s^2

Explanation:

F = m*a

We can rearrange this formula to get a = F / m.

The SI unit for mass is kilograms (kg).

The SI unit for acceleration is m/s^2.

There are 1000 grams in a kilogram.

7.20 g = 0.00720 kg

Force (2.20 N) / 0.00720 kg = 305.56 m/s^2

Accounting for Sig Figs, the answer is 306 m/s^2.

Gee, that's one fast bullet.

Which of the following statements about the functional consequences of single base-pair mutations are TRUE? Select the three cor
Alchen [17]

Answer:

these statements are true

B) Insertions or deletions of single base-pairs within a protein coding sequence probably change the amino acid sequence

D) Missense mutations always change the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene

E) Nucleotide substitutions outside of the coding sequence can affect the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

B) insertion or deletion of nucleotide in coding region of DNA can change the amino acid sequence encoded.

D) missense mutation means that the change in nucleotide sequence resulting in change in amino acid sequence encoded by gene.

E) A mutation may alter the promoter of a gene, thereby affecting the rate of transcription.
