What do the amino acids tyr, asn, and thr have in common?

Biology
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

            The given three amino acids are polar in nature.

Explanation:

           The structure of amino acid is generally composed of four parts:

1. Carboxylic group

2. Amino group

3. Hydrogen atom

5. Alkyl or Aryl group

The central carbon atom also known as alpha carbon which is surrounded by amino group on one side, H atom on top, Amino group on right side and Alkyl or Aryl group on down side.

The R group given amino acids are as,

Tyr  =  -CH₂-Ph-OH

Asn =  -CH₂-COO-NH₂

Thr  =  -CH(OH)-CH₃

Hence, due to presence of Hydroxyl groups and Amine groups on Alkyl or Ary l chain the given three amino acids get polar in nature.

You perform an experiment in which you take 16 pots of strawberry plants and give half of them 1 gm of ammonium nitrate per lite
svetlana [45]

Answer:

homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process whereby living systems maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in environmental conditions. Plants, like every other living organisms also perform this process to keep their internal environment in a stable state.

According to the question, some plants were exposed to ammonium nitrate, which serves as a nutrient, and 16 hours of sunlight needed for photosynthesis to take place. The plants exposed to ammonium nitrate and 16 hours sunlight grew taller because they had access to nutrients needed to bring about the process of photosynthesis, which provides the plant with energy source (Glucose).

The uptake of nutrients like ammonium nitrate by the plants is done in order to maintain a homeostatic internal environment. Without nutrients, which is the purpose of the ammonium nitrate, plants cannot grow. Hence, the plants exposed to ammonium nitrate, take it in to keep their internal environment functioning.

Is the practice of genetically modifying human cells ethical? Why or why not?
kumpel [21]

It totally depends upon whether modification is being done in somatic cells or germ cells. Somatic cells modification is ethically accepted because it doesn't pass from one generation to another generation but germline modification is considered as unethical because the modification will pass on to the next generation leading to the persistence of modification in future generations. The problem with genetic modifications is that the impacts of modifications are unpredictable, rather than being fruitful they may lead to lethal mutations so if it occurs in just somatic cells, then even if it is lethal/harmful, it will be confined to only that individual but if a lethal mutation occurs in germ cells then it will pass on to the subsequent generations and it will persist in all future generations.

If a plant cell lost its plastids, what would go wrong with it
ivann1987 [24]
<span>A plant's plastids contain its chlorophyll, which enables it to photosynthesize. If it lost the plastids, it would not be able to photosynthesize, which is the only way it can get food, so it would die.</span>

A radioactively labeled protein is made by cells and followed through the various organelles in the secretory pathway. After six
Komok [63]

Answer:

C) protein possesses a signal for localization within the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

Protein targeting or sorting is a process by which synthesized proteins are transported to their appropriate localizations in the cell or outside it. Proteins can be targeted to the inner space of an organelle (such as Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum) or its membrane, plasma membrane, or to exterior of the cell via secretion.  

Usually, protein contains signal sequence on the N terminus that is involved in destination targeting.
