In a normal cellular protein, where would you expect to find a hydrophilic amino acid such as asparagine?

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.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) combines with a five-carbon compoundIn one to three sentences, describe what happens during the reduction s
alexandr1967 [171]

We are well aware that there are two stages of photosynthesis:

  • Light dependent reactions
  • Light independent reactions/ Calvin cycle/ dark reactions.

Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions:

This comprise the process during which carbon dioxide enters into the leaves of plants and passes through series of steps to form sugar or food. This process depends on the supply of ATP, (the ATP that is formed previously during light dependent reactions).

Now there are three stages of Calvin cycle:

  • 1) carbon fixation
  • 2) reduction
  • 3)  regeneration

During the process of carbon fixation CO2 combines with a 5-carbon compound called RuBP or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate which results in the synthesis of a 6-carbon compound that splits up in to 2 three carbon compounds called phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).

Here out focus will be the process of Reduction.

Reduction is the second stage of Calvin cycle during which phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) is converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) that is a sugar. During the process of reduction, energy in the form of ATP and NADPH  are used for the conversion of 3-PGA to G3P. As 3-PGA is reduced to G3P, therefore this process is known as reduction.

After reduction, a series of reactions occur that lead to the synthesis of glucose but since focus of our question was reduction, so you can see more details of the process in attached figure.

Hope it helps!

djyliett [7]

"Identical twins are more similar on the trait than fraternal twins" would lead to the conclusion that genetic factors are important in the development of this trait.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Research performed on identical or fraternal twins are twin investigations. We seek to expose the significance for characteristics, phenotypes and diseases of environmental and genetic factors. Twin work is considered a key instrument in the domains of behavioral genetics and material, from biology to psychology.

Fraternal or dizygous twins each share around 50 % of their DNA, just like any other parent. Since the twins are born into the same family they share other factors of their surroundings. The existence of a given genetic or phenotypic trait in just one component of a pair of twins called discordance offers a valuable insight into influence on such a trait on climate.
