A peptide has the sequence of Gly-Ser-Glu-Leu-Ala-His-Gly-Arg-Leu-Ala-PheCys-Leu. (pKR=4.25, 6.0, 8.2, 12.5. Assume pKa’s of ami

no terminus and carboxyl terminus are 9.6 and 2.3, respectively.) The PI of the peptide is close to:_______

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "7.1".

Explanation:

One easy way to determine if a peptide sequence is acidic, basic or neutral is to check for the number of amino acid residues that are acidic, basic or neutral. In this case, most amino acid residues are neutral, which mean that under neutral conditions they have a pKa close to 7.0. Particularly, the content of 3 leucine, 2 alanine and 2 glycine residues determines that the peptide have a pI of around 7.1.

Elanso [62]

Answer:paracrine

Explanation:glands are specialized tissues that secrete specific chemicals substances.these substances may be enzymes,hormones or lubricating fluid.glands secretes their their products through several mechanisms.some involve the use of ducts ,while others do not.

In paracrine secretion,the secretory products reach their target cells by diffusion through the extracellular space or adjacent connective tissue.

Paracrine secretion do not use ducts.

Similar to paracrine is the endocrine ,in which the secretory products goes through the basal lamina ,into the underlying connective tissue and into the vascular syatem.they too do not use ducts

Each of two parents has the genotype green divided by brown​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine eye color​, a
Liula [17]

Answer:

A)BB-Bg-Bg-GG

B)The probability is 25%

C)The probability is 75%

Explanation:

In order to solve this you just have to create a punnet square, where the parents are shown to both have brown and green coloured eyes genes, so it would be like this:

               Mother:      Brown                                 Green

Father↓  

Brown                      Brown-Brown                 Brown-Green

Green                      Brown-Green                  Green-Green

As the instructions say that if any kid had one green allele that would be the dominant, only the Brown-Brown will show the fenotype, so there´s 1/4 chance to happen, or 25%, the other probability of having green eyes is 3/4 or 75%

Explain why plants along the road often die after the road is sprayed with a salt solution to melt ice
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

The salt solution is meant to lower the ice melting point hence keep most of the water from turning into ice even at zero degrees temperatures. The salts are dissolved in the water to form a salty solution that percolates the ground and reach plant roots. Because the salty water is hypertonic (more concentrated) to the cell cytoplasm of the plant roots, water is drawn from the plant by osmosis. This is the reversal of normal plant root absorption of water from the soil. This causes the plant root to wither and subsequently the whole plant to die. Remember in osmosis, water moves from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

Most cells are small. when they reach a certain size, cells typically divide. this has to do with the
Allisa [31]
This has to do with SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. For a typical small cell, its surface area to the volume ratio get smaller as the cell grows. This implies that, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, then the amount of nutrients that entered the cell will be limited, that is , nutrients will not be able to migrate into the cell as needed. To avoid this, the cell has to divide to reduce its surface to volume ratio.<span />
