Answer:

Georgia is the world's leading producer of Kaolin (china clay).

Explanation:

Kaolin or china clay contains the mineral kaolinite mainly. It also contains varying amounts of other minerals like muscovite, feldspar, quartz, etc. In order to prepare it for commercial use, the clay in its natural form is then chemically treated and washed with water to remove the other minerals.

Kaolin is extensively used in the ceramic industry and the paper-coating industry. The high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics are used in the ceramic industry for the manufacture of chinaware, porcelain, and refractories. In the paper-coating industry, the kaolin is mixed with the cellulose fiber in the paper sheet. This gives the paper its color, opacity, and printability. It is also used as a pigment additive in paints, as a filler in plastic and rubber compounds, and in pharmaceuticals.

How is it that the same tertiary structure of a protein can result from different primary structures? Select one: a. Any protein
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

I believe that the best answer to the question: How is it that the same tertiary structure of a protein can result from different primary structures? Would be, B: None of the above.

Explanation:

This is probably the best choice from all the ones in the list simply because due to specific portions of the other answers they make the statement incorrect.

It will help to remember this: proteins have primary, secondary and tertiary structures because when they first emerge from the trascription process from mRNA, they are a simple string where the most important factor is the sequence of aminoacids. It is this sequence which will determine the folding factor. However, there is another factor that must always be kept in mind; environmental factors (temperature, medium where the protein is, as well as location where it is being produced) will also play a role on how the folding will happen and on which of the aminoacids.

The evolvement of a protein chain from its primary, to its secondary and then tertiary shape (the only functional, or known as native state) depends on which of the aminoacids in a specific sequence has the necessary elements to form bonds (hydrogen bonds) with others and thus start the folding process.

Explanation:

The chemical compounds that distinguish bacteria cell from yeast cell are  

chitin and murein

Chitin is a polysaccharide present in the exoskeleton of fungi made up of chains of modified glucose known as N-acetylglucosamine. N-acetylglucosamine is derived from glucose

While murein is a mesh like structure made up of sugar and amino acids. Murein forms a layer outside the plasma membrane of bacterial cell.
