The configuration is a concept that is related to the order (poition) by which different substituents linked to the same central atom, in the case of amino acids, around the central carbon atom. So, amino acids can be divided in two groups, L- and D- forms, analogous to left-handed and right-handed configurations.  

On the other hand, protein folding (folded structure of peptides) is the physical process by which a protein chain acquires its conformation (3D structure) that is usually biologically functional.

What causes changes in air pressure in the atmosphere
harina [27]

Answer:

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above

Explanation:

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above. Even tiny air molecules have some weight, and the huge numbers of air molecules that make up the layers of our atmosphere collectively have a great deal of weight, which presses down on whatever is below.

Biomolecules are made from simple monomers, yet you find a very high level of diversity. What chemical features make diversity i
Luden [163]

Chemical features like 3 dimensional structure and chemical bonding are responsible for diversity in biomolecules although they are made from simple monomers.

In the case of carbohydrates, both starch and glycogen are made up of glucose monomers yet they differ in the functions which they perform in our body. This difference is because of the chemical bonding and the 3 dimensional structure.

Similarly in protein biomolecules, amino acids act as the monomers but they differ in function due to their 3 dimensional structure. Nucleotides are the building blocks of both RNA and DNA. RNA and DNA perform different functions in the body. DNA stores ad transfers genetic information while RNA is responsible for directly coding for amino acids.

Select the correct mechanism of stomatal opening and closing.A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell wal
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A) The radial orientation of cellulose microfibrils in the cell walls of guard cells causes them to bow outward and open when the stomatal pore when turgid.

Explanation:

Stomata are pores on the surface of leaves that work as valves controlling the gas exchange in plants; they are bordered by a pair of curved guarded cells in charge of opening and closing by increasing or decreasing the stomatal pore area.

Guard cells walls structure consist of a combination of stiff cellulose microfibrils oriented along the circumference of the cells and a softer matrix material which makes it possible for stomata pore to open by increasing water pressure (turgor).  

Option B states that when guard cells become turgid, they close the stomata. This is a false statement as we explained before.

Option C states that light (known stimulant for opening stomata) causes guard cells to become flaccid which is also false. Guard cells become turgid in order to open the stomatal pore.

Option A is correct.
