Which joins amino acids together?

Biology
1 answer:
jonny [76]3 years ago

<span>A peptide bonds</span>

Amino acids are joined together when an enzyme called peptidyl transferase catalyzes a bond between the carboxyl group (COOH) of one amino acid and the amino group (NH2) of the second amino acid to form a peptide bond in a reaction called dehydration synthesis because a water molecule is lost in the process. The CO of one amino acid binds to the NH of the other to form this bond thus a larger molecule is synthesized.
This molecule can again be broken into individual amino acids by simply adding a molecule of water to the peptide in the presence of an acid e.g  hydrochloric acid  or protease enzyme e.g pancreatic protease. The acid provides the extra hydrogen atom needed to form water.  This process or reaction is called hydrolysis.

Which statement BEST characterizes the general relationship between air pressure and elevation?
Ad libitum [116K]

Both have an inverse relationship.


Explanation:

The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

This is due to the amount of air on top of you at your current elevation.

At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.

At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.


At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.


OK, :)

What happens to embryonic cells to transform them into different cell types ?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Stem cells provide new cells for the body as it grows, and replace specialised cells that are damaged or lost. They have two unique properties that enable them to do this: They can divide over and over again to produce new cells. As they divide, they can change into the other types of cell that make up the body.
