A student plans to analyze a protein sample that he suspects to be made of 4 subunits that are non-identical but similar in mole

cular weights. In his lab he has access to only SDS-PAGE and Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. What best describes the scientific method he should use to analyze the protein?

Answer:

Agarose gel electrophoresis is the most suitable method for this analysis.

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, is a procedure used for visualizing and separating proteins according to their molecular weight. The use of sodium dodecyl sulfate and polyacrylamide gel eliminates most of the influence of the tertiary structure and charge, and proteins are separated solely based on polypeptide chain length. So, if the student suspects that the protein sample is conformed of 4 subunits similar in molecular weight, SDS PAGE will likely not separate them.

On the other hand, an agarose gel electrophoresis can separate proteins based on their size AND charge, so, if you suspect that the proteins are not identical but similar in size, the charge factor can be important to separate them in an experiment.

andre [41]

Atoms in triglycerides could be used in the synthesis of DNA. Acetyl-CoA is the metabolic intermediate involved in Citric acid cycle pathway which functions as crossover points between triglycerides and DNA.

The Citric acid cycle also known as Krebs cycle or TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle) involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions which occur in the mitochondrial matrix. In this pathway, acetyl-CoA is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and the coenzymes are reduced, which generate ATP in the electron transport chain.

Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) takes part in many biochemical reactions linked with protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Its main role is to deliver the acetyl group to the Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.

What types of organisms will be affected by a decreased supply of water in an ecosystem?
RideAnS [48]
B, for sure. Producers, Like grass and Flowers need water to make food. Consumers, like Cats, Snakes and Boars need water to drink so our internal systems will function properly. 
Im not sure if decomposers need water, but if there is less water then more animals die and they get food. so, not sure about that one.
