How does an r group determine if an amino acid is acidic basic or nonpolar?

Biology
1 answer:
Alinara [238K]3 years ago
7 0
<span>R group (or side chain) is an organic component of amino acids that is unique to each amino acid. </span> <span>Three of the amino acids have basic side chains at neutral pH: arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base and their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, (positive charge). Aspartic acid or aspartate (Asp) and glutamic acid or glutamate (Glu) are acidic amino acids because their side chains have carboxylic acid groups whose pKa's are low enough to lose protons, (negatively charged). The non-polar amino acids contain uncharged functional groups<span> at physiological pH and are incapable of participating in hydrogen bonding. </span></span>

After a quick check, I can confirm that all of the answers stated in the question are correct.

As per questions one and two, Oxygen is drawn from the air by the lungs, a part of the respiratory system. The pulmonary veins then carry the oxygenated blood to the heart (these are the only veins to carry oxygenated blood), which is then pumped throughout the body through arteries. The path followed by the oxygen is:

  1. Oxygen is drawn into the lungs
  2. The Pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs
  3. Hematosis occurs, transferring the oxygen to the blood
  4. The pulmonary veins take the oxygenated blood to the heart
  5. The aorta artery and its ramifications distribute the oxygenated blood throughout the body

In order to increase the amount of oxygen in times of greater need such as when exercising, the heart rate (pulse) and breathing rate increase to provide more oxygen, when an artery is blocked such is the case with Atherosclerosis, blood flow is reduced. Questions 3 and 4 are correct.

Lastly, a person's small intestine is lined with highly specialized cells whose function is to absorb the nutrients from the food we ingest. Damage to this lining would cause this organ to not be able to obtain the vitamins and nutrients needed for the human body. All answers are correct.

What diagnostic procedure would be used to measure the patient's hearing loss?
Leto [7]
The diagnostic procedure used to measure the patient's hearing loss are as follows:
1. Physical examination that includes examining any earwax or inflammation due to an infection.
2. Tuning Fork Test: This test is done to detect hearing loss by strucking a tuning fork that produces sound.
3. Audiology Hearing Test: It is also known as Audiometer test. In this test the Audiologist presents a variable range of sound to detect the hearing loss.

How is the age distribution pattern of the Hawaiian Islands - Emperor Seamount chain explained by the position of the Hawaiian h
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands is a series of islands positioned in what looks like a chain, which increases in age as one moves northwest. The Hawaiian hotspot was formed as a result of the collision of the tectonic plates in the outer part of the earth which caused the rise of a volcano, and which in turn gave off magma which came to rest on a seafloor. That eruption on the seafloor is the hotspot.

This hotspot remains unmovable while the tectonic plates are in constant motion around the hotspot, giving rise to further Islands. This explains the age distribution pattern of the Hawaiian islands which arrived at different times making some older than the others.

How does the information travel in the nervous system?
Ratling [72]
The neuron is the basic working unit of the brain, a specialized cell designed to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Neurons are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Most neurons have a cell body, an axon, and dendrites.
