Answer:

4568

Explanation:

The latest update on the number of critically endangered species is from the year of 2014, thus five years ago. As of this year, there have been 4568 species that have been placed in this category, 2464 of which are animal species, and 2104 are plant species. In order for a species of plant or animal to be placed in this category it needs to be on the verge of dying out in the wild because it has only very small number of individuals left in the wild that can produce the new generations. Unfortunately, the number of the critically endangered species has constantly been on the rise, and in the most recent history the blame for that falls on the humans and their activities.

elixir [45]

Answer:

c. cysteine

Explanation:

Cysteine is a non essential amino acid. It contains sulfur in form of thiol group. A disulfide bond or bridge is formed between two thiol groups. It is represented as S-S. It is formed by oxidation of two cysteine molecules. The resultant disulfide bond is called as cystine which connects two polypeptide chains.

Cysteine is the only amino acid capable of forming disulfide bridge. It stabilizes protein's globular structure and plays an important role in protein folding and stability. Cysteine is required for protein synthesis, metabolic processes and detoxification. It is the part of beta-keratin which is the main protein in nails, hair and skin. If cysteine is mutated, formation of disulfide bond will be affected.
