Answer:
Attached R side groups
Explanation:
The proteins are one of the important biomolecules which are directly coded by the genetic material of an organism.
The proteins are composed of the amino acids which possess, an amine group, a carboxylic group and an attached side group called the R group.
It is the R group of an amino acid which determines whether the amino acid will a polar or a non-polar amino acid molecule thus it determines the properties of the amino acid in terms of chemical properties. The R side group are involved in the formation of bonds with the substrate of the environment and the tertiary structure of the proteins.
Thus, the presence of different R group is the key difference in 20 amino acids.
Answer:
Nucleic Acids
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are made out of nucleotides and they come in two forms: Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA). DNA holds the code of life, in other words, it holds the code for making proteins that are essential in building cells, tissues, and organs. DNA is found in the nucleus of a cell.
Answer:
Cofilin binds to older actin filaments
Explanation:
Microfilaments (also called actin filaments) are a class of protein filament common to all eukaryotic cells, which consist of two strands of subunits of the protein actin. Microfilaments form part of the cell's cytoskeleton and interact with the protein myosin in order to allow the movement of the cell. Within the cell, actin may show two different forms: monomeric G-actin and polymeric F-actin filaments. Microfilaments provide shape to the cell because these filaments can depolymerize (disassemble) and polymerize (assembly) quickly, thereby allowing the cell to change its shape. During the polymerization process, the ATP that is bound to G-actin is hydrolyzed to ADP, which is bound to F-actin. ATP-actin subunits are present at the barbed ends of the filaments, and cleavage of the ATP molecules produces highly stable filaments bound to ADP. In consequence, it is expected that cofilin binds preferentially to highly stable (older) filaments ADP-actin filaments instead of ATP-actin filaments.
True, our ecosystem is not independent. Everything depends on everything else to survive. :)
Light that appears white or nearly white to humans is made up of spectrum of visible light i.e. combination of violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
