Answer:
The correct option is b. an amino-terminal signal
Explanation:
A polypeptide that will eventually fold to become an ion channel protein, it means a kind of integral membrane protein, has an amino terminal signal that indicates its delivery to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then to the membrane. This type of signal usually consist in a nucleus of 6 to 12 aminoacids and one or more basic aminoacids. Once the polypeptide enters the ER, this signal is removed.
Answer:
Explanation:
The given pH = 8.55
Unknown:
[H₃O⁺] = ?
[OH⁻] = ?
In order to find these unknowns we must first establish some relationship.
pH = -log[H₃O⁺]
8.55 = -log[H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀(-8.55) = 2.82 x 10⁻⁹moldm⁻³
To find the [OH⁻],
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 8.55
pOH = 5.45
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
[OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀ (-5.45) = 3.55 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³
The solution is basic because it has more concentration of OH⁻ ions compared to H⁺ ions.
Answer:
leave little space between the molecules.
Explanation:
Matter is made up of small particles called molecules. These molecules present in matter are arranged inside its bulk.
In liquids and solids, the molecules are arranged very close together in such a way that there is only a little space between them. This is why liquids and solids are referred to as "condensed phases".
They are quite unlike gases where there is a lot of space between gas molecules.
