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.

A species has 2n = 16 chromosomes. how many chromosomes would be found in...
Nastasia [14]
I presume your question is, how many chromosomes would be found in the resulting daughter cells of meiosis?

If parent cell has 16 chromosomes, the first division in Meiosis of the cell will result in 8 chromosomes, and the second division (I.e. the separation of the sister chromatids of the 8 chromosomes) results in 8 daughter chromosomes.

The number of chromosomes in each cell resulting from meiosis is 8.

Hope this helps! :)

Hemoglobin buffers the pH of the cytosol of RBC by combining with ______ions.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

H+

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.

As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.

PLS help me with my biology HW, I forgot what the answer was!
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Contracted blood vessels

Explanation:

The volume of blood is reduced as the vessels are more narrow due to the contraction, so less blood reaches the respiring tissues, causing the force of blood flow to increase as there is less space for normal blood flow to occur. This means that blood pressure increases.
