Answer:

His

Explanation:

  • His is the short-form for the amino acid Histidine.
  • Histidine has imidazole as its functional group.
  • When it is in the protonated then the pKa of the side chain is 6 which lies in the physiological pH range of around ph6.
  • Due to this the catalysis of many enzymes have involves histidine for proton transfer. Histidine has the ability to abstract protons from amino acids such as cysteine, serine and threonine.
  • The abstraction of proton takes place with the help of the basic nitrogen present in histidine which abstracts the protons from the targets and then another molecule is used to act as a buffer and proton is abstracted from the acidic nitrogen.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Red blood cells are a type of specialized cell that move <u>oxygen </u>and carbon dioxide throughout the body.

A structure made of two or more tissues working together to achieve a common function is a/an <u>an</u><u> </u><u>organ</u><u> </u>

<u>cellular </u><u>defferentiation</u><u> </u>describes the degree of specialization that a cell is able to undergo.

A/An <u>embroynic</u><u> </u>stem cell can differentiate into all cell types found within an embryo.

In <u>cytoplasm</u> organisms, all cellular activities take place within a single cell.

Describe each of the four mechanisms that cause air to rise.
BARSIC [14]
The four mechanisms are as follows:
1) Orographic lifting: Air is forced to rise over a mountainous barrier
<span>
2) Frontal wedging: Warmer, less dense air is forced over cooler, denser air along a front 
</span>
<span>3) Convergence: Pileup of horizontal air flow resulting in an upward flow
 </span>
<span>4) Localized convective lifting: Unequal surface heating causes localized pockets of air to rise because of their buoyancy. </span><span />

Please help me!
Artemon [7]

Answer and explanation:

To address this question, we could design an experiment where the effect of soil and gravel can be tested independently. One approach is to test this via <u>Completely Random Design (CRD)</u>. Here, the <u>treatments would be assigned to experimental units completely at random</u> and each treatment will be tested in <u>replication</u> (e.g. triplicates).

The treatment levels would be (1) <u>Grass growing in the soil (triplicates)</u> and (2) <u>grass growing in the gravel (triplicates)</u>. There will be total 6 experimental units and they will be placed randomly. The growth parameters of grass would be then tested after growing for a certain period of time, let's say 90 days.

After this period, the <u>grass will be harvested</u> and the <u>biomass, root length and shoot length</u> will be measured. Because each treatment has three replicate, we will have a clear estimation of soil and gravel on plant growth. The standard deviation would help estimate the effect of natural variations in different treatments. However, they would be consistent because of same environment given for the growth.

The <u>independent variables</u> would be "<u>soil and gravel</u>" and <u>dependent</u> variables would be "<u>growth parameters of the grass (plant root and shoot length and biomass)</u>".
