4 0

Answer: B. Hydrolysis (adding water)

Explanation:

When peptide bonds join two or more amino acids together, this is refered to as a peptide. A polypeptide simply means several amino acids. We should also note that proteins contains polypeptides.

The reaction that is capable of breaking polypeptides into their component amino acids is hydrolysis. This simply means a chemical process whereby a water molecule is being added to a particular substance.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Dana filtered the sample and larger granules of the sample were left behind.

Explanation:

If a substance is pure, it will have a uniform composition throughout. It will not separate into particles of various sizes.

One of the characteristics of pure substances is that they are homogeneous. A mixture is definitely made up of particles of various sizes.

Since the particles was filtered and larger granules were left behind, the sample has been separated by a physical method (filtration). Only a mixture can be separated by physical methods. It is not a pure substance.

a chemist dissolves 0.564 moles of manganese (IV) oxide (MnO2) in water, and adds enough water to make 0.510 L of solution. Calc
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution is 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of the concentration of that substance that is defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}

In this case

  • number of moles of solute= 0.564 moles
  • volume= 0.510 L

Replacing:

molarity=\frac{0.564 moles}{0.510 L}

Solving:

molarity= 1.1 \frac{moles}{liter}

<u><em>The molarity of the solution is 1.1 </em></u>\frac{moles}{liter}<u><em></em></u>

How is it possible to have thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids?
STatiana [176]
Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins. 

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.
