Answer:

1. salt bridge - tertiary structure

2. amide bond - primary structure

3. disulfide bond - tertiary structure

4. beta-pleated sheet - secondary structure

5. alpha helix - secondary structure

Explanation:

A salt bridge is simply a neutralisation reaction between two molecules of opposite charge. Examples are: carboxylate ion end (RCOO−) of either aspartic acid or glutamic acid and ammonium ion end (RNH3+) from lysine or guanidinium (RNHC(NH2)2+) of arginine. The disulfide bond is usually gound in the Cysteine amino acid with the structure R−S−S−R′. Also, it is usually derived by the bonding of two thiol groups. They are both important components of protein and they determine the overall structure of protein and hence its fold.

For beta-pleated and alpha-helix structures, they are usually defined by the varying patterns of hydrogen bonds between the amine- (-NH2) and carboxyl-(-COOH) groups which are at the side chain of the amino acids. They determine the geometry of the protein hence why they are secondary structures.

Amide bond is an unbranched sequence of amide(peptide) bonds which form long chains of polypeptides (polyamides). This shows that it is a primary structure. They are also formed by dehydration where the amine- (-NH2) and carboxyl-(-COOH) groups bonds together to form a peptide bond with the loss of water.

How does the uneven hearing of earth cause convection currents to form?<br> PLEASE ANSWER:)
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Because of the tilt of Earth on its axis, Earth's surface and atmosphere are unevenly heated by the Sun. Convection currents form in the atmosphere as warmer air rises and cooler air sinks.

Describe examples of failed experiments that produced valuable information
Nataliya [291]
Hello Norgepr, examples of failed experiments that produced valuable information can be the mage via BoingBoing There have been ample stories of human children being raised by other species and eventually becoming more like that animal than an actual human. If the process could go one way, Winthrop Kellogg was sure that it could also go the other, particularly if the animal involved was one of our closest genetic cousins. In 1931, Kellogg received a grant for his experiment and the timing couldn’t be better –his wife just had a baby boy, David. This would give them the unique opportunity to raise a baby chimp, named Gua, right along side a human baby. It didn’t take long for the babes to bond and become best friends. Kellogg and his wife took impeccable notes on their two “children” noting their physical changes, emotions and how they scored on small intelligence tests. The chimp scored notably higher on the intelligence tests due the fact that the species matures faster than human babies. Gua picked up quite a few human behaviors, such as walking upright and eating with a spoon, but she failed to learn how to speak and learn simple repetition games, like patty cake. Her emotions were also much less predictable and inclined to change at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, the experiment really started to go wrong when little David started to become more chimplike than Gua became humanlike. He only learned a few simple words and often took to making chimp howls when he wanted something. After only nine months, the Kelloggs gave up on Gua, concerned that David would fail to grow up like a normal human child. In the years since this project, plenty of people have adopted chimps as babies, proving beyond a doubt that the animals can never act completely human –even if they are adorable in overalls.
