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.

Scoring Scheme: 3-3-2-1 Part II. You considered the properties of two acid-base indicators, phenolphthalein and methyl orange. M
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is a protonated indicator and methyl orange is a basic indicator having hydroxyl ionisable part .

Phenolphthalein can be represented by the following formula

HPh  which ionizes in water as follows

       HPh        + H₂O      ⇄    H₃O⁺      +        Ph⁻

( colourless  )                    ( pink  )

In acidic solution it is in the form of protonated Hph form which is colourless

In basic medium , it ionises to give H₃O⁺ and unprotonated  Ph⁻ whose colour is pink .

Please explain how to find each answer solution.
svp [43]

Explanation:

1) Based on the octet rule, iodine form an <u>I</u>⁻ ion.

Therefore,

Option E is correct ✔

2) The electronic configuration of the sulfide ion (S²⁻) is :

₁₆S = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴ or [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴

₁₈S²⁻ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ or [Ne] 3s² 3p⁶

Therefore,

Option E is correct ✔

3) valence shell electron of

Halogens = 7

Alkali metal = 1

Alkaline earth metal = 2

Therefore,

Option D is correct ✔

4) Group 2 element lose two electron in order to achieve Noble gas configuration.

And here Group 2 element is Sr

Therefore,

Option B is correct ✔

5) Group 13 element lose three electron in order to achieve Noble gas configuration.

And here Group 13 element is Al

Therefore,

Option B is correct ✔

6) For a given arrangements of ions, the lattice energy increases as ionic radius <u>decreases</u> and as ionic charge <u>increases</u>.

Therefore,

Option A is correct ✔

Match the scientist with their scientific idea. Question 2 options: Substances combine or break apart to create new, different s
aev [14]

Answer:

1. Democritus - Matter was made of different kinds of things.

2. Bernoulli- Gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them.

3. Priestley- Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances.

Explanation:

1. Democritus was a philosopher who because of his immense contribution to atomic theory was regarded as the "FATHER OF SCIENCE". His idea was that matter was made of different kinds of things called which he called ATOMOS meaning ATOM.

2. Daniel Bernoulli was another outstanding mathematician and scientist who played a major part in the kinetic molecular theory of gases via his "HYDRODYNAMICA". His idea, which states that "gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them"

was based on fluid dynamics.

3. Joseph Priestley is remarkably known for his 1774 discovery of oxygen. His findings that air is a mixture of gases and not just a substance made of one element paved the way for his idea that " Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances".

what type of element can turn into both solid and liquid form depending on the temperature of its surroundings ?​
lorasvet [3.4K]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>An Atom can turn into both solid and liquid form depending on the temperature of its surroundings </em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>Scientists have discovered a new state of physical matter in which atoms can exist as both solid and liquid simultaneously. Researchers have found, however, that some elements can, when subjected to extreme conditions, take on the properties of both solid and liquid states.</em>
