Answer:
Explanation:
The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.
Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule. This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.
Answer:
B. An idea supported by evidence.
Planting vegetation and installing drainage pipes will help reduce erosion.
Answer:
The correct option is;
Sand, clay, and silt
Explanation:
The categorization of soil particles by size can be made into three classes including sand (particle size between 0.05 mm to 2 mm), silt, (particle sizes between 0.002 mm to 0.05 mm) and clay (particle sizes lesser than 0.002 mm), larger particles such as stones, pebbles, boulders and rock other fragments are left out of the textural classification because of their inertness
The combination of the three particle sizes can be found in most soils and their relative proportion defines the texture of a given sample of soil.
