Answer and Explanation:
Protein is one of the most important molecules in our organism, being present in the composition of all elements, in addition to participating in several metabolic processes. This importance creates the need to study this molecule, however, to study it it is necessary to know the composition chemistry and the levels of structure it presents.
The chemical composition of proteins is related to amino acids, since protein is formed by them. In this case, we can say that the proteins have the same composition as the amino acids containing carboxylic acid and different amino groups, which is what determines the name and function of the amino acid.
In addition to chemical composition, the structure levels of proteins are extremely important, as they only function at a specific structural level. As for these levels, proteins can have a primary structure (there are more than two amino acids organized in a linear row), a secondary structure (when the primary structure turns into a helix species), a tertiary structure (formed by a more intense folding of the secondary structure providing the appearance of helices and leaves) and quarternary structure (when several tertiary structures are joined, allowing folding at the three-dimensional level. This is the functional structure of the protein).
Cohesion. Cohesion is the property of water that attracts other water molecules so they can stick together. Water is sticky because it has positive and negative charge in the oxygen and hydrogen ends that attracts one water molecule to another. Adhesion is also a property of water that attracts it from other substances, making it easy for water to travel upwards through transpiration.
An easy way to tell is if the trait is or isn’t in every generation. If a trait skips a generation, it’s most likely recessive.
