Proteins are three dimensional molecules made of strands of amino acids (imagine a ball of string). There are 20 different amino

acids used in proteins found in living organisms. Some of these amino acids are polar and others are nonpolar. Where would a series of nonpolar amino acids most likely be located in a protein that is found in the cytosol of an animal cell

Answer:

A series of nonpolar amino acids would most likely be located in the interior region of the tridimensional molecule.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed by linearly arranged amino acids, each with a side chain: the R-group.

Of the 20 different amino acids that compose the proteins, about half of them -10- are non-polar. Their R-groups are not stable if they are in contact with water, meaning that non-polar amino acids are hydrophobic.

When proteins are synthesized, they acquire a three-dimensional structure that makes them more stable. Lineal polypeptides get folded and turn into a shape that makes them more stable in the environment and capable of accomplishing their biological role. When they are in an aqueous media, their bent shape leaves the hydrophilic R-groups in contact with water. The hydrophilic R-groups stick in the center of the polypeptide, facing the protein interior, and avoiding interaction with water.

Answer:

B. He was the first to observe live cells in a sample of pond water.

Explanation:

He was a self taught man that created the first microscopes which allowed him and others to see tiny organisms.

The other answers are not correct as Hans made the first microscope, cells existing in liquids were not a critical part of micro biology, and it was Schlieden and Schwann who created the cell theory that stated that all living things were made of cells.
