The R group or side chain of the amino acid leucine is non-polar. The R group of serine is polar. Where would you expect to find
these amino acids in a globular protein in aqueous solution?
1 answer:
Answer:
Serine will be on the exterior of the globular protein while leucine on the interior of the globular proteins
Explanation:
The nature or solubility of the side cham determines the poition of amino acid on the globular protein and it is either hydrophilic or hydrophobic.
Serine is an hydrophilic amino acid and so it is position on the surface of the globular protein (Exterior)
While Leucine side chain is hydrophobic in nature is positioned on the interior of the globular protein.

Answer: A solution will be hypertonic to a cell if its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane. If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net flow of water into the cell, and the cell will gain volume.
Picture:
Meaning of hypertonic: (1): having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid. (2) of or in a state of abnormally high muscle tone.
