A) Identify and describe the four levels of protein structure.
fgiga [73]
The four levels of protein structure are distinguished from one another by the degree of complexity in the polypeptide chain. A single protein molecule may contain one or more of the protein structure types: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. 1. Primary Structure: describes the unique order in which amino acids are linked together to form a protein.

2. Secondary Structure: refers to the coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain that gives the protein its 3-D shape. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. One type is the alpha (α) helix structure. This structure resembles a coiled spring and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain. The second type of secondary structure in proteins is the beta (β) pleated sheet. This structure appears to be folded or pleated and is held together by hydrogen bonding between polypeptide units of the folded chain that lie adjacent to one another

3. Tertiary Structure: refers to the comprehensive 3-D structure of the polypeptide chain of a protein.

4. Quaternary Structure: is the structure of a protein macromolecule formed by interactions between multiple polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is referred to as a subunit. Proteins with quaternary structure may consist of more than one of the same type of protein subunit.

The uniformity in the exact cells undergoing apoptosis makes C. elegans an excellent model organism for uncovering genes involve
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Over all growth and development cycle

Explanation:

<em>C. elegans,</em> due to its manageability, nervous system, muscle, skin gut and reproductive cycle makes it an ideal model. These nematodes are similar to human systems and lot of the research found can be applied to humans and medicine.

Apoptosis is the programmed cell death and this can be for many reasons such as repair, replace or removal of old or damaged cells. This groundbreaking research has captured the attention of scientist over the decades and many new findings are continuing to evolve.

Some phenotypes that are important in studying apoptosis are: Stress response, growth and development, tumor formation/regeneration and wound healing.

1. Describe DDT and summarize the history of the use and banning of DDT, including actions taken by the U.S. government. State t
igomit [66]

DDT stands for  dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include:  a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.  

The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.

It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.  

Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :  

a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere

b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans  ( fatty tissue)

c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.

Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.

Explain how humidity ,pressure, and temperature result in cloud cover.
Anarel [89]

Explanation:

Temperature is the amount of heat energy contained in the air, and we measure this in degrees. Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by the air in a particular air mass. Humidity is a measure of the water content of the air mass. Clouds are tiny drops of water or ice that form in the atmosphere.
