A chemical engineer wants to design a novel enzyme that is capable of catalyzing a reaction in a hydrocarbon solvent instead of

water. Based on the material covered in this course, discuss theobstacles that must be overcome to create such an enzyme. Do you think it would be possible to achieve this goal? Please justify your answer.

Answer:

A few obstacles would make it tough to accomplish this objective. In the first place, the polypeptide backbone is characteristically polar. Hardly any proteins would be dissolvable in a non-polar hydrocarbon. Moreover, to keep up the dissolvability of this protein, most of its amino acids would need to contain hydrophobic or non-polar R groups.

Then again, its charged or polar R groups would need to connect with one another or be covered in the core of the protein away from the hydrocarbon solvent. This would put noteworthy requirements on both the idea of the R groups and the structure of the protein that could take part in substrate recognition or catalysis. By and large, this is certainly not a reasonable objective.

What condition results in magma cooling and forming a “glassy” igneous rock?
-BARSIC- [3]
It would be extremely rapid cooling because it would be too fast for mineral grains to grow. basalt is the aphanitic or fine-grained equivalent of gabbro. plutonic rocks are intrusive and generally consist of mineral grains coarse enough to be readily visible in a hand sample.

please do try giving brainliest because i would like to reach the next rank.

thanks!!

Answer:

n+1; n+1; n-1; n-1

Explanation:

Separation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I result in a reduction of the chromosome number to half in the daughter cells of meiosis. If two homologous chromosomes of a pair fail to separate from each other, they both will move to the same pole. In this case, one daughter cell of meiosis I will have both the homologous chromosomes of a pair (n+1) while the other one will lack it (n-1). Meiosis II in these two daughter cells will form a total of four cells. Two of the daughter cells will have one extra chromosome (n+1) while the rest two will lack one chromosome from the haploid set (n-1).

Burka [1]
Scavengers play an important role in the network of food. They keep the world clean from the remains of dead animals, or carrion. Scavengers break down this raw material and recycle it as nutrients into the environment. Vultures consume only the corpses of deceased animals.

Pavel [41]
Malnutrition occurs when a person reveibes a defiency of food this leads to less energy produce by the cells of the body because they don t get enough nutrients to form (anabolism) and replace old or unusable things in the body and don t have glucose lipids proteins to brake down (catabolism) for the forming of the Atp the primary source of energy.
