Many rare and/or endemic species exhibit one or more of the following attributes which make them especially prone to extinction: (1) narrow (and single) geographical range, (2) only one or a few populations, (3) small population size and little genetic variability, (4) over-exploitation by people
Answer:
<em><u>Intermolecular forces determine bulk properties, such as the melting points of solids and the boiling points of liquids. Liquids boil when the molecules have enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces that hold them together, thereby forming bubbles of vapor within the liquid.</u></em>
Explanation:
Haemoglobin consists of heme unit which is comprised of an <u>
</u> and porphyrin ring. The ring has four pyrrole molecules which are linked to the iron ion. In oxyhaemoglobin, the iron has coordinates with four nitrogen atoms and one to the F8 histidine residue and the sixth one to the oxygen. In deoxyhaemoglobin, the ion is displaced out of the ring by 0.4 Å.
The prosthetic group of hemoglobin and myoglobin is - <u>Heme</u>
The organic ring component of heme is - <u>Porphyrin</u>
Under normal conditions, the central atom of heme is - <u>
</u>
In <u>deoxyhemoglobin</u> , the central iron atom is displaced 0.4 Å out of the plane of the porphyrin ring system.
The central atom has <u>six</u> bonds: <u>four</u> to nitrogen atoms in the porphyrin, one to a <u>histidine</u> residue, and one to oxygen.
The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.
