Upon centrifugation, particles sediment at different rates due to their physical properties. Tropomyosin is a rod-shaped protein

with a mass of 70 kDa and a sedimentation coefficient of 2.6S. Hemoglobin is a spherical protein with a slightly smaller mass of 65 kDa, but a much higher sedimentation coefficient of 4.31S. Which property of tropomyosin accounts for its slow sedimentation?

Answer:

Elongated shape

Explanation:

Centrifugation separates molecules on the basis of angular motion.

Due to spherical shape, the value of 'f' is lesser for a spherical protien than the rod shaped one.

Hence the sedimentation coefficient for an elongated protien is 2.6S while htat of a spherical protien is 4.31S.

Hence its elongated shape results in slow centrifugation.

Some of the important principles of centrifugation are as follows :

  • The greater the mass, the more is the sedimentation rate i-e the one with greater mass will move down more rapidly as compared to the one with les mass.
  • Shape of particles also effect it, the rounder the particle, the lower frictional coeeficient.
  • Density of particles
  • Density of fluid

the northern leopard frog, tree frog, and wood frog are all different species of frogs. why is having a scientific name for each
guapka [62]

These names are significant because they enable clear communication about animal species among people all across the world.

<h3 /><h3>What are the significance of northern leopard frogs?</h3>

In ponds where it lives, the northern leopard frog is probably a significant indicator of the water's quality. This species is an essential component of the food chain, and tadpoles, which are the main eaters of algae in ponds, can have a big impact.

<h3>What distinguishes tree frogs from other frog species?</h3>

These frogs are most easily recognized by their feet, which have claw-shaped toe bones as their last bone. They can also climb trees thanks to toe pads with small suction cups and extraskeletal structures on their toes. They are available in a number of hues, the most popular being green, gray, or brown.

The algae, walleye pollock, and orca populations could have all affected the moon jelly population. What additional
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

I'd need the data from the population sizes of the algae, walleye pollock, orca, ocean sunfish and sea turtles. And I'd also need water temperature data, levels of dissolved oxygen.

Explanation:

The jellyfish population may have increased because of an increase in phytoplankton. This leads to an increase in

zooplankton; a decrease in walleye pollock, leading to an increase in zooplankton; or an increase in orcas, leading to a

decrease in sea turtles. Sea turtles, being the main predator for keeping the jellyfish population in check.

Also, if there are more red algae, jellyfish polyps have less place to grow. Without it, the polyps can attach itself on every surface.

Which of these is a way to increase the availability of freshwater
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options -

A-avoid water pollution.

B-build thermal power plants.

C-add water features to gardens.

D-avoid drip irrigation systems

Solution -

The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.  

Thus, option A is correct

Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.  

Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect

Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option  B is also incorrect
