Proteins serve many functions within cells. They aid in cellular transport within the cell. They assist with the transport of su

bstances across the cell membrane. They form enzymes that are involved in many cellular processes, and so on.
However, proteins do not function properly unless they are immersed in water. This is because water

Answer: This is because water helps in stabilizing the conformation or structure, flexibility of proteins and their movement or motion.

Explanation: Every protein have a particular conformation at which it functions optimally. A protein's conformation is stabilized largely by weak interactions and these weak interactions occur more favorably in aqueous medium. A given polypeptide chain can assume different conformations. The chemical interactions that stabilize the native conformation include include disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and ionic interactions. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are formed in the presence of water, though they are weak interactions but their cumulative effect in a protein is significant. These weak interactions helps to maintain the conformation of proteins and ultimately their function.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

the genotype of the offspring would be RB, BR, RB, BR (well the genetic pattern of the fish varies for example the fish could have Bg meaning dominant blue and maybe recessive green im making this up and going into detail too much). the phenotype would have to be some sort of mix.

Explanation:

the genotype is the genes on the inside. i just use a table to mix it and assumed both fish were just pure blue/pure red. the phenotype is what's visible. it would be a mix such as maybe purple or red here and blue there. this is since they are both dominant and have to be expressed. same for blood types (AB blood). sorry for late answer.

Macrophages digest the invading bacteria and viruses with the digestive enzymes found in cellular organelles called
Nataly_w [17]
Lysozyme which is found in the lysosomes. They function at a relatively low pH and are so because if they functioned at physiological pH they would digest the cell. But in this case, they are in the lysosomes where they are safe and at a lower pH so when the vesicles open they can emit hydrogen ions and the lysozyme to digest the foreign material.

Answer:

By using carbon-14 in the experiment in order to prove the statement.

Explanation:

Translocation occurs in the plant body in order to transport amino acids and sucrose from one part to another by the phloem tissues. In order to prove this, we have to incorporate radioactive element in the amino acid or sucrose which shows us that through which layer the amino acids and sucrose move in the plant body. For this purpose, carbon-14 can be used to trace the path of the translocation of amino acids and sucrose. Through this experiment we will find out that phloem layer is the path used by the plant to move amino acids and sucrose from one part to another.
