Answer;

-On the polar end or the hydrophillic end of the protein.

Explanation;

-Each amino acid has at least one amine and one acid functional group as the name implies. The different properties result from variations in the structures of different R groups.The R group is often referred to as the amino acid side chain.

-Side chains which have various functional groups such as acids, amides, alcohols, and Amines will impart a more polar character to the amino acid. Polar amino acids include serine, threonine, asparagine, glutamine, histidine and tyrosine.

Therefore; serine being a polar or hydrophillic  amino acid will be found on the polar side chain of the protein.

The serine side chain most likely would be found outside of the globular water-soluble protein.


Most proteins have a hydrophobic core (where the hydrophobic amino acids are), and a polar surface in contact with the environment (water). Polar and charged amino acids cover the surface of the molecule and are in contact with a solvent  (water) due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds. Hydroxyl group (-OH) of the serine classifies it as a polar amino acid.

What is gaseous exchange
vekshin1
Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs. It occurs from the lungs between the alveoli and a network and a bunch of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which is located in the walls of the alveoli.

Parts of the earth that are utilized in the nitrogen cycle
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Atmosphere and geosphere is the part of the earth which is utilized in the nitrogen cycle.

Explanation:

In nitrogen cycle, the nitrogen which is present in the atmosphere comes down to the earth surface through rainfall. This nitrogen is absorbed by the earth and taken by roots of plants. Some amount of nitrogen is taken by many bacteria such as denitrifying bacteria which converts the soil nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen and the nitrogen goes again to the atmosphere.
