Answer:

1.Temperature

2.Moisture

3. PH: acidic or basic concentration

Explanation:

Different microorganism grow at different temperature. For example, many human-disease-causing microbes have an optimum temperature of 37C, and most of the bacteria do not grow at temperature higher than 45C. This means that any temperature lower than 45C will favor the growth of certain bacteria while higher temperature may cause death or reduction in the population of most. Hence, the effect of temperature on these organisms.

Water is required to dissolve the cell substances in microorganism just like higher animals.  while some can survive under an extremely dry condition, most can't and this could result in death or reduction in population.

PH, a measure of the hydrogen concentration in a solution for most microorganism is between 6-8, too much of acid or base could disrupt the activities of these organisms and a maintained range ensure an optimal survival.

A protein biochemist attempted to determine the amino acid sequence of a decapeptide. Use the results from the trypsin, chymotry
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The possible sequence of the decapeptide is Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.

Explanation:

The cyanogen bromide cleaves the carboxyl end of Met (methionine and non-peptide). Trypsin cleaves on the C-terminal of Arg and Lys, however, not on the N-terminal of Pro, which signifies that Lys is the last amino acid in T2. Hence, Met-Val-Lys----. The middle part of the sequence can be predicted from the digestion done by chymotrypsin.

The chymotrypsin cleaves on the C terminal of Phe, Trp, Tyr, however, not on the N side of Pro. CT3 exhibit Lys, Met, Tyr, Val, as Met-Val and Tyr are the initial three amino acids, therefore, Tyr must be the fourth one. Now the sequence will be Met-Val-Lys-Tyr...

CT1 possesses Ala, Arg, Phe, Pro, as chymotrypsin cleaves the C side of the Phe, thus, the last amino acid should be Phe. Also, CT1 has Ala as the first amino acid. Also, trypsin does not cleave on the N-end of Pro. Thus, the sequence of CT1 strands will be Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.  

In CT2, chymotrypsin cleaves on the C-side of trp. Thus, the sequence of CT2 strands as Thr-Trp is found in the middle. Thus, the whole sequence of the decapeptide strand will be:  

Met-Val-Lys-Tyr-Thr-Trp-Ala-Arg-Pro-Phe.
