What would happen if you delete one amino acid in a particular protein?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
It depends upon the protein and also where the deletion of the single amino acid has occurred. Does ur alter or disrupt an important fundamental function or aspect of the protein such as the capability of substrates to bind to the active site, or is near a region that is primarily for developing the additional structure of the protein and is not as important. In most cases, a single amino acid change will not cause the protein to lose its complete function of be denatured.

Which of the following two events occur to create a sea breeze? Select all that apply. Warm air rises on the ocean and moves tow
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Warm air rises on land and moves toward the ocean to cool

Cool air moves from the ocean to be warmed by the land

Explanation:

The land heats up faster than the oceans during the day. This is because water has a high heat capacity and takes more energy to raise its temperatures by one degree (even in comparison to land). Therefore land heats up the air above it faster than the oceans. The air mass over land rises due to drop in density. The cooler and denser air mass above the oceans moves towards land to replace the rising warm air. This creates a cool breeze felt on land during the day as the cool air rushes in.

Explain how energy is transferred through a food web and food chain using the law of conservation of energy.
german
Energy is transferred with 90 percent less than the previous amount. For instance, producers start with 100 percent of energy considering they, well, produce the energy. Then, an herbivore comes and eats said producer, but only receives 10 percent of the energy. And so on and so forth as energy decreases as more consumers come along, which is why those at the top of the food web/chain typically eat more.

Hope this helps!
