Tap water is directly supplied from the home faucet, while distilled water is water taken from any source that has gone through a distillation process. Tap water contains compounds, such as iron, chlorine, magnesium and natural minerals, that either are added by the public water system or have gotten in the water supply. Distilled water is in its purest form, with no bacteria or inorganic compounds.
Answer:
Gray matter
Explanation:
The gray substance (or gray matter) corresponds to those areas of the central nervous system of grayish color mainly composed of neuronal somas and axons lacking myelin along with glial cells (neuroglia).
Answer/Explanation:
Essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, at specific moderate level are needed for the overall functionality of the aquatic ecosystem. However, when excess of these elements infiltrates the aquatic ecosystem, the nutrient overload causes a surge in the growth of aquatic plant. For example, algal bloom. These increased growth of aquatic plant further takes up space and oxygen, prevents sunlight and later leads to what is known as "dead zone". It is a condition of an ecosystem having little or no biological activity. Aquatic life is impacted negatively when this occurs.
These are the changes that occurs as a result of nutrient loading.
Answer:
The correct answer is: d. progressive stabilisation of correct secondary structural intermediates, and unfolding of incorrect structures, until the final structure is attained.
Explanation:
- Protein folding is a sequential process and not a random one.
- It is necessary that a protein must fold in such a way that in the end it is able to attain the particular conformation which is required for its function.
- The folding of an amino acid sequence is a process that is thermodynamically favourable.
- This is because in a folded protein the hydrophobic amino acids escapes from interacting with water molecules and hence gets stabilised.
- A folded protein has lower energy and is more stable than a linear polypeptide chain.
- The folding of an amino acid linear chain into a protein takes place in the following way:
- The folding of the amino acid sequence begins during the process of translation of the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) by Ribosome. (Co-translational folding)
- This is because initially the linear amino acid sequence forms a secondary structure (alpha helix, beta sheet) which is formed between the nearby amino acid residues.
- These structures form progressively and sequentially and each structure after formation is checked for its correct conformation before the next structure (tertiary structure) is formed.
- If an incorrect folding has occurred, the folded polypeptide chain opens up and refolds until correct orientation is attained.
- Folding, opening and refolding process continues until the correct conformation of the protein is attained.
