How is it possible to have thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids?

Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins. 

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.

What kind of reaction occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid? what kind of reaction occurs wh
My name is Ann [436]

The kind of reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous solutions of barium sulfide and sulfuric acid is a precipitation reaction.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>
  • The chemical reaction between Ba(OH)2(aq) and H2SO4(aq) is given by;

Ba(OH)₂(aq) + H₂SO4(aq) --> BaSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

  • This is a type of precipitation reaction, where a precipitate is formed after the reaction, that is Barium sulfate.
<h3>Other types of reaction</h3><h3>Neutralization reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve reacting acids and bases or alkali to form salt and water as the only products.
  • For example a reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.

NaOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)

<h3>Displacement reactions</h3>
  • These are reactions in which a more reactive atom or ion displaces a less reactive ion from its salt.

Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

<h3>Redox reactions </h3>
  • These are reactions that involve both reduction and oxidation occuring simultaneously durin a chemical reaction.
  • For example,

Mg(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

  • Magnesium atom undergoes oxidation while copper ions undergoes reduction.
<h3>Decomposition reactions</h3>
  • These are type of reactions that involves breakdown of a compound into its constituents elements.
  • For example decomposition of lead nitrate.

Pb(NO3)2(S) → PbO(s) + O2(g) + NO2(g)
