The secondary structure of proteins results because of _____ bonding between molecules in the protein molecules' backbone.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The newly synthesised proteins as a result of the process of translation are linear structures formed by linear arrangement of amino acids.

The linear structure of a protein is known as the primary structure which changes its conformation and take the shape of either the helix or the pleated sheet. This helical or pleated sheet structure is known as a secondary structure.

The secondary structure is formed due to the bond formed between the hydrogen of the carbonyl group and the amino group which form the backbone of the protein structure. The hydrogen bond causes the linear polypeptide to form spiral helical or bend pleated sheet.

Thus, Hydrogen bonding is the correct answer.

What are the chromosomes called when they look like Xs​
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I think you're referring to the Metaphase...

Explanation:

During Cell Division (or, rather before!) the DNA needs to be replicated. This normally is done by DNA Polymerase, and results in two identical double strands (the "Sister Chromatids".

These chromatids are held together at the Centromere, which will be the heart of the "X"-shape. After that the DNA is packed into Chromosomes by winding it around proteins called Histones. If I remember correctly there are 5 different Histones.

This "Zipping Up" makes the chromosomes more visible.

As the two sister chromatids are still connected, the result is the X-shaped Metaphase Chromosome....

sammy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.  

An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.  

All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.
