Answer:

c. tertiary.

Explanation:

In this case, we can review the definition of each level of structuration in the proteins:

<u>Primary structure</u>

<u />

In the primary structure, the amino acids are linked by peptide bonds. That is, the order of the amino acids is the criterion that defines this type of structure.

<u>Secondary structure</u>

<u />

In the secondary structure, we have to look at the way in which the protein is folded. The options are:

  -) Beta-laminar: A structure in which the protein has a planar shape.

  -) Alpha-helix: A structure in which the protein has a cross-strand form.

<u>Tertiary structure</u>

<u />

In the tertiary structure, the R groups that the amino acids have in the primary structure can generate interactions with each other. Interactions such as hydrogen bridges, dipole-dipole, hydrophobic interactions. This makes the protein have a very specific three-dimensional structure, on which its function depends.

<u>Quaternary structure</u>

<u />

In the quaternary structure, several subunits may be attached, or there may be prostatic groups (metals that can help to attach various protein units).

With all these in mind, the deffinition that fits with the description in the question is the <u>tertiary structure.</u>

I hope it helps!

Answer:

<em>A solution containing 60 grams of nano3 completely dissolved in 50. Grams of water at 50°c is classified as being</em> <u>supersaturaded</u>

Explanation:

This question is about solubility.

Regarding solubility, the solutions may be classified as:

  • Unsaturated: the concentration is below the maximum concentration permited at the given temperature.

  • Saturated: the concentration is the maximum permitted at the given temperature, under normal conditions.

  • Supersaturated: the concentration has overcome the maximum permitted at the given temperature. This is possible only under special conditions and is a very unstable state.

Each substance has its own, unique solubility properties. So, in order to tell the state of the solution you need to compare with either solubility tables, or solubility curves; or run you own experiments.

  • In internet you can find the solubility curve of NaNO₃ showing the solubility for a wide range of temperatures.

  • In such curve the solubility of NaNO₃ at 50°C is about 115 g of NaNO₃ per 100 g  of water.

  • Hence, do the proportion to determine the amount of solute that can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 50°CÑ

       115 g NaNO₃ / 100 g H₂O = x / 50 g H₂O  ⇒ x =  57.5 g NaNO₃

  • <u>Conclusion</u>: 50 grams of water can contain 57.5 g of NaNO₃ dissolved; so, <em>a solution containing 60 g of NaNO₃ completely dissolved in 50 grams of water is supersaturated.</em>
