Which of the following statements regarding hydrogen bonding in secondary structures is true? Group of answer choices Both α-hel
ices and β-sheets only use intrachain hydrogen bonds. Both α-helices and β-sheets only use interchain hydrogen bonds. α-helices only use intrachain hydrogen bonds and β-sheets can use either intrachain or interchain hydrogen bonds. α-helices can use either intrachain or interchain hydrogen bonds and β-sheets only use interchain hydrogen bonds.
The correct answer is "α-helices only use intrachain hydrogen bonds and β-sheets can use either intrachain or interchain hydrogen bonds".
Explanation:
Hydrogen bonding are essential forces for the formation of the secondary structures of proteins. The alpha helix is a coiled secondary structure that is stabilized only by intrachain hydrogen bonds, which are formed between the NH and CO groups of the main chain. On the other hand, β-sheets can use either intrachain or interchain hydrogen bonds for its stabilization. Adjacent chains in β-sheets can run either in the same or opposite directions, which are stabilized by interchain hydrogen bonds.
The molecule SO3 is of the type AX3. The molecule is symmetrical and non polar.
There are three regions of electron density in the molecule. This corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry. This means that the three oxygen atoms are arranged at the corners of a triangle. The bond angle is 120 degrees.
Your ability to move and lift objects refers to muscular strength. It's measured by how much force you can exert for a short period of time and how much weight you can lift.
A phospholipid structure is shown in the picture attached. It has three parts: the hydrophobic tail, the hydrophilic head and the phosphate group in the center. Thus, the function of the phosphate group is to link the hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts of a phospholipid. Specifically, the phosphate group is part of the hydrophilic head. So, it is used to connect the phospholipids to polar compounds.
