Chameleons, those shade-shifting, intricately camouflaged lizards that can change color in response to environmental or behavioral influences. Since the oldest lineages of chameleons are all from Madagascar, scientists believe they evolved on the island and spread out from there. As far as paleontologists can tell, the first chameleons evolved shortly after the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Unlike other animals that change color, such as the squid and octopus, chameleons do not modify their hues by accumulating or dispersing pigments within their skin cells, the researchers found. Instead, the lizards rely on structural changes that affect how light reflects off their skin, the researchers said. Although chameleons are believed to have originated in Africa or Madagascar, the oldest known fossil, 26 million years old, is Chamaeleo caroliquarti from western Bohemia.

A protein that contains more isoleucine, phenylalanine and leucine than asparagine, lysine and arginine is most likely ________.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Hydrophobic, Hydrophobic.

Explanation:

  • Proteins are made up of polypeptide chains which are formed by the polymerization of amino acid molecules, linked together by peptide bonds.
  • The amino acids can be broadly classified into non-polar and polar.
  • The non-polar amino acids can be defined as those amino acids whose side chains possess hydrocarbon molecules only. They do not possess any charge and are incapable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. They tend to avoid water and so they tend to remain buried into the interior of a protein. Examples can be illustrated as Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine, etc.
  • The polar amino acids can be defined as those amino acids whose side chains either possess a charge (positive or negative) or a hydroxyl group which is capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As they tend to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules they are usually found on the surface of the proteins. Examples can be illustrated as Lysine, Arginine, Serine, Asparagine, etc.

Write a scientific explanation that explains how oxygen and carbon dioxide travel within the seed and the egg.
svet-max [94.6K]
The two membranes pull apart a little and create a small pocket or sack of air. As the developing bird grows, it breathes in oxygen from the air sack and exhales carbon dioxide. Several thousand microscopic pores all over the surface of the egg allow the CO2 to escape and fresh air to get in.
