Proteins are three dimensional molecules made of strands of amino acids (imagine a ball of string). There are 20 different amino
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A series of nonpolar amino acids would most likely be located in the interior region of the tridimensional molecule.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed by linearly arranged amino acids, each with a side chain: the R-group.

Of the 20 different amino acids that compose the proteins, about half of them -10- are non-polar. Their R-groups are not stable if they are in contact with water, meaning that non-polar amino acids are hydrophobic.

When proteins are synthesized, they acquire a three-dimensional structure that makes them more stable. Lineal polypeptides get folded and turn into a shape that makes them more stable in the environment and capable of accomplishing their biological role. When they are in an aqueous media, their bent shape leaves the hydrophilic R-groups in contact with water. The hydrophilic R-groups stick in the center of the polypeptide, facing the protein interior, and avoiding interaction with water.

The nucleus of "Lead-208", 208 82 Pb, has 82 protons within a sphere of radius 6.34×10-15 m. Each electric charge has a value of
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

2.94 × 10²⁰ N/C

Explanation:

Given that:  

The nucleus of "Lead-208 has 82 protons,

with a radius (r) 6.34×10-15 m, &

each electric charge has a value of 1.60218 × 10^-19 C

∴ The formula for calculating an electrical field at the surface of the nucleus is:

 E=\frac{k*q}{r^2}  

Substituting our values into the equation above, we have;

 E = \frac{8.98755*10^8*82(1.60218*10^{-19C)}}{(6.34*10^{-15}_m)^2}

E = 2.93870499×10²⁰ N/C

E ≅ 2.94 × 10²⁰ N/C

Describe the transformation of energy that occurs during photosynthesis.
Doss [256]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, in small structures called chloroplasts. The glucose made in photosynthesis is then used during cellular respiration.
