Answer:

CH2-Aromatic ring

Explanation:

Amino acids with aromatic R groups are relatively hydrophobic and therefore don't interact with water molecules surrounding the protein. Tryptophan (Trp), phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr) are amino acids with aromatic R groups. Since these amino acids are relatively nonpolar or hydrophobic, they participate in hydrophobic interactions that are strong when there are several residues with aromatic R groups which are stacked on one another. In this regard, it is also important to highlight that Tyr and Trp are more polar than Phe due to the hydroxyl (OH-) group in Tyr and the nitrogen in the Trp ring.

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.

In which process is lactic acid formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place?

Olenka [21]

Anaerobic respiration.
Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration BUT does not use oxygen (O2). It is used when there is not enough O2 for aerobic respiration.
It can be summarised by the equation: glucose → lactic acid (+ energy released). However, it releases less energy than aerobic repspiration due to a lack of oxygen resulting in an INCOMPLETE breakdown of glucose.
