Spider silk is a material made of proteins that has a strength per gram that is five times that of steel. One feature of some of

the toughest spider silks is a high proportion of β sheets that stack tightly together to form crystal-like arrays. Which amino acids would you expect to be common in such crystalline stacks and why?

Answer:

glutamic acid, because the R group could form ionic bonds

arginine, because the R group could form ionic bonds

tryptophan and tyrosine, because the R groups are small, allowing close stacking

glycine and alanine, because the R groups are small, allowing close stacking

PLZZZZZZ HELPPP how do we obtain energy from wind PLZ WRITE A PARAGRAPH ABOUT ITTT PLEASEEEEE
sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Wind energy, or wind power, is created using a wind turbine, a device that channels the power of the wind to generate electricity. The wind blows the blades of the turbine, which are attached to a rotor. The rotor then spins a generator to create electricity . Wind energy is a renewable energy source that is clean and has very few environmental challenges. Wind power actually starts with the Sun. In order for the wind to blow, the Sun first heats up a section of land along with the air above it. That hot air rises since a given volume of hot air is lighter than the same volume of cold air. Cooler air then rushes in to fill the void left by that hot air and voila: a gust of wind. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy describes a wind turbine as “the opposite of a fan.” Simply stated, the turbine takes the energy in that wind and converts it into electricity. So how does it do that? First, the wind applies pressure on the long slender blades, usually 2 or 3 of them, causing them to spin, much like the wind pushes a sailboat along its path through the water. The spinning blades then cause the rotor, or the conical cap on the turbine, and an internal shaft to spin as well at somewhere around 30 – 60 revolutions per minute. The ultimate goal is to spin an assembly of magnets in a generator which will, well, generate voltage in a coil of wire thanks to electromagnetic induction. Generators require faster revolutions, however, so a gear box typically connects this lower speed shaft to a higher speed shaft by increasing the spin rate to around 1000 to 1800 revolutions per minute. These gear boxes are costly as well as heavy, so engineers are looking to design more “direct-drive” generators that can work at the lower speeds.

A newly developed pesticide has been observed to bind to an intracellular hormone receptor. If ingested, residue from this pesti
Degger [83]

Answer:

Thyroid hormones      

Explanation:

Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, <u><em>interference with the thyroid hormone receptor</em></u>, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.

Please help!! i need to know asap

A: Population
If a group of one certain species are living in the same area they are a population. The same goes for humans, we are the same species and when we live in the same area we say we are part of a population. That’s why you would hear things like “the population of massachusetts is 2million” or whatever it is.
