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.

Why doesnt plants and bacteria expand when it reaches water
kap26 [50]

When the plants and bacteria reach water, they get into a hypotonic solution means, the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it. When the plant and bacteria are placed in water, they take up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell become turgid. Turgidity means the cells are swollen and hard. The increase in pressure makes the cell rigid. This is why they do not expand and burst.

Answer:

The dendrites are important for receiving action potential or other stimulation in order for neurons to become activated. Dendrites are electrical signals that receive extensions of the cytoplasm. These signals come in two fundamental forms: inhibitory and excitatory.
