erik [133]3 years ago
7 0

<span>Protein tertiary structures are known to be a three dimensional structure of a protein with a single polypeptide chain (backbone) and one or more protein secondary structures known as protein domains.</span>

Tertiary Structure Interactions

1) Hydrophobic Interactions: they are non- covalent bonds and very important in the formation of tertiary structure. 

2) Ionic Bonds: the interaction of both positive and negative amino acids forms a bond that helps to stabilize the protein molecules. 

3) Hydrogen Bonds: this bond exit between the amino acid with hydrophilic side chain found on the surface of the molecules and water molecules in a solution.

4) Disulfide Bridges: it is a strong covalent bond commonly found between cysteine residues in close proximity space.

Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with ______.
kodGreya [7K]
Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with Carbon-14.
 
Radio isotopes can be used for the age determination of the fossils. Carbon-14 is a common isotope which is used for that purpose. But the half- life of the Carbon-14 is relatively small as 5730 years. That means the amount of Carbon-14 will be half after every 5730 years. Hence, decay is very fast. So Carbon-14 cannot be used forage determination which is more than 75000 years due to the low accuracy.

Compared to unmyelinated axons, myelinated axons?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

A. Conduct impulses faster.

Explanation:

Myelinated axons are called that way due to the myelin sheath that surrounds them. Myelin has an insulation property so electrical impulses cannot travel through it, except on certain sites called Nodes of Ranvier. In order for electrical impulses to be conducted on myelinated axons they must "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to the next, and thus conduction is faster. This is called saltatory conduction.
