Answer:

A, B and C may be true

Explanation:

The three-dimensional structure (3D) of a protein, also known as tertiary structure, is critical to its function. In general, the 3D protein structure consists of alpha-helix and beta-sheets (secondary structures) associated through disordered coiled-coil regions. Genetic mutations may cause modifications in the 3D protein structure by modifying amino acids that are added to the growing polypeptide chain during the process of translation. In consequence, the relationships among amino acids (i.e., the intermolecular attractive forces that hold them together) may also be altered by these mutations. In general, mutations that generate amino acid changes at the active site of the enzyme will have a deleterious effect, thereby decreasing or inactivating protein function. However, there are situations where a mutation may be beneficial and can eventually increase the rate of reaction of a protein.

Which of the following is likely to be made from a thermoplastic?
sergij07 [2.7K]

a grocery bag

Thermoplastic is known to be a plastic material with a polymer that can be molded above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Thermoplastics can be remelted or reshaped by heating and they have low melting points. Furthermore, they usually have high concentration of polymers with amorphous structures, the material will have a poor resistance to loads but it will have an excellent elasticity.

What accounts for the movement of water up the veins of a tall tree?
stiv31 [10]
First of all, the cohesive and adhesive properties of the water molecules fascilitate this. Water molecules stick together and with the walls of the vessels, creating a column of water which doesn t break easily. Moreover the xylem vessels of the tree are very narrow increasing the pressure. Finally, transpiration is taking place as water from the leaves evaporate, thus a continuous osmotic gradient is being created, causing water to be drawn up the tree
