Secondary structures are stabilized by which type of interaction?

Biology
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]3 years ago
8 0
This pertains to the structure of proteins. Secondary structures are stabilized by the presence of hydrogen bonds. The common types of secondary structures of proteins are the alpha helix and the beta sheets, each performing different functions. 

Primary structure of protein is the peptide molecule comprised of peptide bonds. Once these peptide grows long enough, it will either be arranged into alpha helices or beta sheets stabilized by hydrogen bonds and this is the secondary structure. Once there is protein folding involved in the secondary structure of protein, then the folded protein is called the tertiary structure (or a protein subunit). When protein subunits come together to perform a specific function, then that is the quaternary structure.

Attached is a figure concerning the protein structures.

Match the name of the greenhouse gas with one of the human activities that produces it.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

carbon dioxide- burning of fossil fuels

fluorinated gases- industrial processes

methane- production and transport of oil and natural

gas

nitrous oxide- agricultural and industrial activities

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gaseous components that induces greenhouse effect. This means that due to their structural ability to trap heat energy in the atmosphere, they contribute to the global warming effect on the Earth. However, this greenhouse gases are produced in large amounts as a result of the day-to-day anthropogenic activities. The following are the greenhouse gases and how they are produced.

Carbondioxide (CO2)- Carbondioxide is the most common and important greenhouse gas. It is generated via natural processes like respiration but also produced when fossil fuels e.g coal, petroleum etc. are burned.

Fluorinated gases- This is another greenhouse gas caused by activities of man. Fluorinated gases are produced in industries during the production of certain products.

Methane- Methane is a gaseous hydrocarbon and the principal constituent of natural gas. Therefore, the production and transportation of oil and natural gases can lead to the escape of methane into the atmosphere.

Nitrous oxide- Nitrous oxide is an oxide of nitrogen. It is mainly produced via agricultural processes such as nitrification and denitrification or use of fertilizers etc. and also industrial actions.
