The cytoplasm has a reducing environment, while the extracellular space tends to have an oxidizing environment. Based on this in
inna [77]

Answer:

In the extracellular space

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are interconnections between chains (or between parts of a chain) formed by the oxidation of cysteine ​​radicals, this reaction is catalyzed by specific enzymes.

Intracellular proteins have no disulfide bonds, which are more common in proteins secreted into the extracellular environment.

Disulfide bonds do not form in the cytoplasm because there are a lot of reducers in the cytoplasm (intracellular environment) , making the disulfide bonds unstable. The reducing environment of cytoplasm causes disulfide bonds (S-S) to return to the form of cysteine ​​groups (-SH).

In the snail cepaea nemoralis, an autosomal allele causing a banded shell, u, is recessive to the allele for an unbanded shell,
Alex Ar [27]
There will be no recombinant progeny in absolute linkage. The F1 inherted banded and yellow alleles (BBCY) together on one chromosome from the banded yellow parent and unbanded and brown allels (BOCBw) together on the homologous chromosome from the unbanded parent. All the F1 gametes will contain only these two allelic combinations, in equal proportions if there is no recombination. F2 cross progeny will have 1/2 banded, that is yellow and 1/2 unbanded brown.

The products of the light reactions of photosynthesis are ______.
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correct answer is - B) ATP and NADPH.

The products of the light reactions of the process of photosynthesis are the ATP and NADPH. The small amount of ATP produced in this process and the energy carrier NADHP are crucial for the functioning of the organisms that use the process of photosynthesis, and the reason for that is that these two are used by the organisms to create glucose, or rather sugars, in the process called the Calvin Cycle. The glucose is what these organisms use as their food, a food they they manage to make themselves, thus making them producers. If the light is missing, then the process of photosynthesis can not be performed because the formation of ATP's will be stopped, as well as the formation of NADHP, so the organisms will not be able to produce their own food.

Prokaryotes are classified as belonging to two different domains. What are the domains?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Bacteria and Archaea

Explanation:

The prokaryotes are classified into two domains, the bacteria and the archaea domains. This makes them unique as the other organisms fall into one of the three domains, not in two of them. The prokaryotes come in many different shapes. They all do fall into three categories, bacilli (which are the rod-shaped prokaryotes), spirilli (which are the spiral-shaped prokaryotes), and cocci (which are the spherical shaped prokaryotes).
