Answer:

The number of codons that code for arginine are six: CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG. Where C = cytosine, G = guanine, U = uracil, A = adenine.

Explanation:

Arginine is a fundamental amino acid for the body and is part of the proteins. It is found in red meat, in poultry meat and in dairy products, and stimulates the function of the immune system, increasing leukocytes. In addition, it is involved in the production of creatine. In messenger RNA it is encoded by six codons: CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG.

Why do unsaturated fatty acids form liquid oils instead of solids?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Generally, the unsaturations of the fatty acids are of the cis type. This causes the arrangement of the molecule to be angled, with the apex at unsaturation. This angulation causes the melting points of unsaturated acids to be lower than those of their saturated counterparts and therefore are liquid at room temperature. Double bonds in trans distort little crystalline symmetry, which is very similar to that of saturated fatty acids.

Explanation:

They are long chain carboxylic acids, usually have no carbon pair (14 to 22), the most abundant have 16 and 18 carbons.

Fatty acids are saturated when they do not have double bonds, they are flexible and solid at room temperature.

Unsaturated or polyunsaturated if there are double or triple bonds in the chain, rigid at the level of the double bond being oily liquids.

Physical properties

- Solubility. They are bipolar or amphipathic molecules (from the Greek amphi, double). The head of the molecule is polar or ionic and therefore hydrophilic (-COOH). The chain is apolar or hydrophobic (-CH2- and -CH3 terminal groups).

- Melting point. In saturates, the melting point increases due to the number of carbons, showing a tendency to establish Van der Waals links between the carbonated chains.  Unsaturates have fewer interactions of this type due to the elbow of their chain.

Which is a reason that many organisms that have existed in earth have left no fossils?
Lapatulllka [165]
Many of the organisms that had existed on the earth left no fossils because most of them can not meet the conditions that must be fulfilled before fossils can form. For fossils formation to occur, the organism soft tissue must decay leaving behind the hard part [majorly bone] in the sediment. Overtime, layers of sediment have to build up and pressed down on the buried remains. As time goes on, water and mineral seeped into the remains and form crystals.
