Answer:

O Gln replaced by Glu or Asn

Explanation:

  • Gln replaced by Glu or Asn, is a non-conservative substitution. Gln has a much shorter side chain or R-group than Glu or Asn. Additionally both Glu and Asn R-groups are polar and negatively charged while Gln is non-polar.
  • In a protein, replacement with Glu or Asn would greatly destabilize the protein by introducing a charge and disrupting hydrophobic interactions formed between Gln and other non-polar residues.
  • By comparing the R-groups of the residues, their length, hydrophobicity, charge and shape. One can predict if the substitution is disruptive or not, if residues are very similar then the interactions that they form are preserved. For example replacing Gln with Ala would be less disruptive.

What differentiates the inflammatory response and the immune response?
Ugo [173]

Swelling is evidence of an inflammatory response but not of an immune response.

Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

Inflammation is a kind of swelling only. Sometimes the tissues in our body are damaged. This damage might be due to some bacteria or heat. Then, in that case, our inflammatory system response by swelling.

The tissues which are damaged release a chemical which in turn causes swelling. This is how our body response towards a disease. It indicates the presence of disease. Then comes the role of the immune response which works and tries to protect our body against that damage.

Lady_Fox [76]
<span>Though both are unicellular, bacteria doesn’t possess a nucleus or cell organelles, except ribosomes, whereas amoebas possess a well-defined nucleus and all essential cell organelles.
Bacteria are prokaryotic. They do not have membrane-bound organelles.  Their DNA is also not enclosed by an envelope. They do not possess a true nucleus. 
Amoeba, however, is eukaryotic. Amoebas have a true nucleus, and it is enclosed by an envelope. The organelles are also membrane-bound.</span>

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Starch + H2O = maltose

This reaction gives the Starch and H2O as the reactants and Maltose as the product.

Amylase is an enzyme which helps in the digestion of Starch molecules and its activity can however be measured through careful monitoring of the disappearance of amylase substrate which is in this case, starch.
