Which parts of the amino acids x and y are involved in the formation of a peptide bond?

Biology
2 answers:
NeTakaya3 years ago

Answer:

Carboxyl group and amino group.

Explanation:

Amino acids have three parts which are the carboxyl group, amino group and the side chain. When forming a peptide bond, the carboxyl group of one amino acid forms bonds with the amino group of the other one to form the peptide bonds between them.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

The carboxyl group of x and amino group of Y

Explanation:

An amino acid is made up of a carboxyl (-COOH) functional group, an amino (-NH2) functional group and a side chain (R group) . In the joining of two amino acid molecules, a chemical bond called the peptide bond is formed. The peptide bond is formed by the chemical a reaction between the acid carboxyl group (-COOH) of amino acid X and the amino group (-NH2) of amino acid Y. This reaction is referred to a condensation reaction as one molecule of water is lost in the reaction.

The continuous linkage and formation of peptide bonds between amino acids result to the formation of a polypeptide chain.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is : C .It will decrease ATP production because fewer protons will be able flow down through ATP synthase.

Explanation:

  • Oxidative Phosphorylation is a process which involves two steps:  
  1. Transport of electrons from the reduced compounds like NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen) and FADH₂ (Flavin adenine dinucleotide dihydrogen) through the electron transport complexes, located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, to oxygen for the generation of water molecules.
  2. Synthesis of ATP or adenosine triphosphate from ADP or adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate by an enzyme called ATP synthase which is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This enzyme harnesses energy by carrying protons from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix and in the process produces ATP.
  • Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the mitochondria, especially involving the inter membrane space, inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix
  • During the transport of electrons through the protein complexes (I, II, III, IV) of the electron transport chain a proton gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
  • The proton gradient is such that the concentration of protons is more in the inter-membrane space and less in the matrix of the mitochondria.
  • This proton gradient provides the energy to the ATP synthase for the synthesis of ATP.
  • Dinitrophenol is responsible for making the inner mitochondrial membrane permeable to protons. As a result protons can directly diffuse through the inner mitochondrial membrane from the inter-membrane space into the mitochondrial matrix equalising the concentration of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This causes distortion in the proton gradient.  Hence, protons are no longer available for the ATP synthase to operate and synthesise ATP.

Which part of photosynthesis is represented by the diagram to the right
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<em>Light-dependent reactions</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent reactions and light independent-reactions. This last stage is often called Calvin cycle.

The diagram shows reactions occurred in the thylakoid membranes which are located inside the chloroplasts. Therefore, we can identify that these reactions are the light-dependent reactions. During this part of photosynthesis, the energy from the sunlight is absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyl (Chl). Then, it is sequentially coverted into chemical energy stored in the form of molecules: NADPH (nitotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Part 1: What is the difference between the atmospheres of Mercury and Earth?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The difference would be that Mercury has a denser, warmer atmosphere and Earth has a not that dense and gassy atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere also has a lot of layers while Mercury's doesn't. Those would be the reasons for them both being different. Hope this helped!
