Bingel [31]

Answer:

G= 22%

A=28%

T= 28%

Explanation:

Given that percentage of cytosine content (C) = 22%

Since C pairs with G, percentage of guanine content (G) would also be = 22%

Hence, G+C = 22+22 = 44%

This means that A+T = 100-44= 56%

Since adenine pairs with thymine so, percentage of A= percentage of T

Hence percentage of Adenine (A)= 56/2 = 28%

And percentage of Thymine (T) = 28%

What are the levels of protein structure and what role do functional groups play?
umka2103 [35]
The levels of protein structures are: PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND TERTIARY STRUCTURES.
The amino acid sequence and the bonding types between the amino acids determine the structures of proteins. Protein structures also determines the function of a protein, if a protein losses its structure it will not be able to perform its function again.
Functional groups play an important role in the formation of protein structure.Functional groups also participates in specific biochemical reactions in the body thus enabling the proteins to perform their functions.

How does the structure of abone make it strong yet lightweight?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:the component materials and their arrangement

Explanation:

Bone are important for movement in animals.bones is made up of 15% water,30% collagen fibres and 55% mineral salts..bone cells are widely separated. The Collagen makes bones soft and flexible. Mineral salts makes it fragile and strong.

The osteogenic cells builds the bones and the osteoclasts breaks down older bone tissue, in order to keep the body strong.

Spongy bones contains tiny spicules that helps in strength.

It also reduces the weight of the bones .

The cells of Compact bones are arranged in the direction of stress to keep the bone strong.

They are constantly changing throughout life

Explain the mechanisms for movement of materials across cellular membranes anatomy
trapecia [35]
There are 2 types of transport mechanisms that involve the movement of materials across the cellular membrane:

1. Passive Transport Mechanisms which is the movement of materials that does not require energy. Instead the movement relies on the permeability of the cell. Under this are three kinds of passive transport mechanisms:

a. Simple Diffusion: 
- the movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. No external energy is necessary for the movement. The materials supply the energy themselves. 

b. Facilitated Diffusion:
- This differs from simple diffusion because the movement is facilitated by proteins that make up the structure of the membrane. The proteins include channel proteins that allow ions and smaller molecules to cross the membrane. The other protein are the carrier proteins, which bind to materials like sugar molecules and move it across the membrane.  

c. Osmosis:
- This is the diffusion of water across the membrane. Osmosis moves water from regions where there are more water molecules of water per volume to regions where there are less water molecules per volume.  

2. Active transport on the other hand is a movement mechanism that requires energy. It uses the energy to send materials against the direction it is coming from through simple diffusion. This mechanism is used in a way to keep unwanted ions or other materials out of the cell.
