What causes tooth decay

Biology
2 answers:
Sergio [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Cavities, also called tooth decay or caries, are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth well.

Answer:

When cavities are permenantly damaged and it starts to form holes in your teeth, then more bacteria goes inside. It is caused when you don't clean your teeth well or eat/drink too much sugary things.

Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for plant withering due to leaky membranes in cold temperatures
podryga [215]

Answer:

C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Explanation:

Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.

In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.

Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Map One method for separating polypeptides makes use of their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in wa
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: For (a):

(Lys-Ala)3 is soluble and (Gly)zo is not soluble.

(b) (Glu)zo is soluble and (Phe-Met) is not soluble.

(c) ( Asn-Ser-His) is soluble and (Ala- Asp-Gly) is not soluble.

(d) (Asn-Ser-His) is soluble and (Ala-Ser-Gly).

Explanation:Firstly, the solubility of polypeptides relies on polar groups in the R group of the side chain and also ionized groups because these groups can interact with dipole bond of water.

For (a): (Gly)zo, no R group of the side chain of (Gly)zo is polar nor ionizable and solubility is based on the ability of R group of polypeptides to be polar or ionized while in polypeptides of (Lys-Ala), Lys is polar and therefore soluble though Ala in the compound is not polar nor ionizable but the presence of Lys makes the polypeptide to be soluble.

(b) (Glu)zo is a polar peptide, therefore soluble peptides while both the combination of (Phe-Met)3 gives polypeptides that are not polar therefore not soluble.

(c) In poypeptide of (Ala-Asp-Gly)s, the R group on the side chain of both Ala and Gly are neither polar nor ionizable therefore cannot be soluble even though Asp( which at PH 3 can partially be protonated and partially deprotonated to make it soluble) is present in the polypeptide. Therefore the polypeptide of Ala-Asp-Gly is not soluble compared to Asn- Ser-His, where Asn has polar covalent bond which can interact with water, His which at pH 6 will be half protonated and half deprotonated making the substance to react with water and also Ser is a soluble polypeptide too.

(d) Also between (Ala- Ser-Gly) and ( Asn- Ser-His), polypeptide with (Asn-Ser-His) will be considered soluble because Ala and Gly have R groups that neither polar nor ionizable though Ser is soluble but common to both substances, its influence will not be effective and (His) is a soluble which at pH 6 get partially protonated and deprotonated.

The phosphate groups give DNA an overall negative charge that attracts to the positive pole in an electrophoresis chamber. TRUE
topjm [15]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

The phosphate group in the sugar-phosphate backbone contains a negative charge on the oxygen atom which gives the DNA its overall negative charge. This negative charge on DNA in helpful in the coiling or packaging of DNA around the positively charges histone protein.

This negative charge property of DNA is used in electrophoresis to separate the DNA according to their charge and size. In electrophoresis, the negatively charged DNA is attracted towards positive poles and is separated according to their charge and size. Therefore the statement is true.
