Question 16
nika2105 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction, which occurred around 66 million years ago, is defined as a mass extinction that wiped out around three-quarters of species on Earth.

Among the organisms that disappeared during this event, we find mammals, birds, fish, sharks, pterosaurs, birds, reptiles, insects, and some plant species.

This event is marked by the presence of a sediment layer known as the K-Ph boundary which showed important levels of iridium, an element that is abundant in craters. Therefore, after its discovery, scientists hypothesize this extinction occurred due to the impact of the giant Chicxulub crater which changed the conditions of the atmosphere.

Describe the general composition of a protein molecule.
dexar [7]

Answer:

Protein is made up of 20 different amino acids. Each amino acid consists of a central carbon. This central carbon is bonded to an amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom and an R group.

Amino acids can be linked together when the amine group of one amino acid is bonded to the carboxyl group of a different amino acid. The COOH donates an OH group and the NH2 donates a H. The OH and H come together to form a water molecule, so this process is called dehydration synthesis - water is removed to form something new. The bond which holds the amino acids together is called a polypeptide.
