1. Answer;
-secondary structure;
Explanation;
Protein secondary structure refers to regular, repeated patterns of folding of the protein backbone. The two most common folding patterns are the alpha helix and the beta sheet. In an alpha helix, the polypeptide backbone coils around an imaginary helix axis in clockwise direction. In the beta sheet secondary structure, the polypeptide backbone is nearly fully extended. The R-groups are alternately pointed above and then below the extended backbone.
2. Answer;
- Quaternary structure
Explanation;
-Many proteins are formed from more than one polypeptide chain. The Quaternary structure describes the way in which the different subunits are packed together to form the overall structure of the protein. For example, the human hemoglobin molecule shown below is made of four subunits.
3. Answer;
-Tertiary structure
Explanation;
Tertiary structure refers to the overall folding of the entire polypeptide chain into a specific 3D shape. The tertiary structure of enzymes is often a compact, globular shape.
The tertiary structure is the structure at which polypeptide chains become functional. At this level, every protein has a specific three-dimensional shape and presents functional groups on its outer surface, allowing it to interact with other molecules, and giving it its unique function.
4. Answer;
Primary structure
Explanation;
-It is the simplest level of protein structure and is simply a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. For example, the hormone insulin has two polypeptide chains, A and B. Each chain has its own set of amino acids, assembled in a particular order. For instance, the sequence of the A chain starts with glycine at the N-terminus and ends with asparagine at the C-terminus, and is different from the sequence of the B chain.
Hydrogen and oxygen are often found in the form of H2O but even if hydrogen surpasses oxygène in number it doesn't when it comes to mass because M(O) = approximately x16 M(H)
The statement is true. The male and female embryos anatomically look same at five weeks of pregnancy.
In the 4th week of pregnancy the blastocysts gets implanted in the walls of uterus and develops into the placenta and then becomes an embryo. The embryo is considered starting from the point when the amniotic sac develops which is at the starting of the 5th week of pregnancy. By the 12th week of pregnancy the organs are developed such as arms and legs but the brain and spinal cord keeps developing throughout the pregnancy.
The second trimester begins at the 13th week of the pregnancy and by the 14th week the gender can be identified. So the male and female embryos are anatomically same at 5th week of the pregnancy.
Answer:
For a contraction to occur there must first be a stimulation of the muscle in the form of an impulse (action potential) from a motor neuron (nerve that connects to muscle). Note that one motor neuron does not stimulate the entire muscle but only a number of muscle fibres within a muscle.
