4 0

Answer:

3.14 residues

Explanation:

This kind of sheets has the particularity that the distance between adjacent residues is 3.5 Angstroms. Furthermore, there are two residues per cycle.

Hence, we can calculate easily the number of residues in a segment, by using the expression:

Nr = (256 Å) / (3.5 Å/residue) = 3.14 residues

I hope this is useful for you

Pavlova-9 [17]

Lipids are a class of organic compounds, which suits best under the column macromolecules on the hierarchy of biological organization.  

Biological organization refers to the hierarchy of composite biological systems and compositions, which illustrate life using a reductionistic method. The conventional hierarchy moves from an atom to more complex biospheres.  

Each of the level in the hierarchy signifies an enhancement in the organizational complexity, with each component being mainly comprised of the previous basic unit level.
