Answer:

D. on the exterior surface of the protein, interacting with water.

Explanation:

Hydrophilic: means 'water loving' or attracted to water.

Hydrophilic amino acids have polar side chains that can interact with other side chains through hydrogen bonding or ion-ion interaction or salt-bridges.

Asparagine: It's amide side chain, NH2, is polar and can hydrogen bond with water. It can act as a donor and an acceptor in hydrogen bonding. The fatty acid chains are made up of hydrocarbon chains and are hydrophobic, and would likely prefer to interact with each other rather than asparagine.

Which characteristic differentiates amphibians from reptiles?
Stells [14]

Option D – amphibians may use their skin for gas exchange is the characteristic feature of amphibians that differs from reptiles.

Explanation:

The amphibian skin is moist, thin and marbled and supplied by blood vessels running on its surface. The moisture present in the skin dissolves the oxygen present in its surrounding which is absorbed by the blood vessels. Special glands help the amphibians to keep the skin moist.

The very thick and tough scales present on the reptiles prevent them to absorb oxygen through their skin. Hence, they breathe and respire through their lungs.

Amphibians have three-chambered heart. They do not develop amniotic eggs. Adult amphibians although spend much time on land, they breed only in water due to the absence of amniotic sac .

I think that I might be HYENA.

Since they don’t really kill they are mostly “scavengers”
