Are fibrous proteins heavier than globular proteins in terms of molecular weight? Why?

Biology
1 answer:
quester [9]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Proteins range in molecular weight from 1000 to more than 1 million daltons (Da), but the folded size of a globular protein is not necessary correlated to its molecular weight. Proteins composed of about 250 amino acids or less often have a simple, compact globular shape. Larger globular proteins are usually made up of two or more recognizable and distinct structures, termed domains or modules. These are compact, folded protein structures that are usually stable by themselves in aqueous solution. Typical domain structures consist of hydrophobic cores with hydrophilic surfaces. Individual domains often possess unique functional behaviors and often perform unique functions within the larger protein in which they are found.

What are some steps that scientists can take in designing an experiment to avoid false negatives?
Alchen [17]
False negative is a condition when you got a negative result for a specimen which was positive. To prevent false negative occur, first you need to use golden standard test or a test with high specificity. You can do multiple tests to ensure the specimen is negative and using a positive control to make sure the reagent is still working fine.

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an important model system for studying inheritance in animals and genetic control of an
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.

Describe and explain how blood flows from the foot to the lungs.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

lungs:

The blood first enters the right atrium.

The blood then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

When the heart beats, the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery.

The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs where it “picks up” oxygen.

It then leaves the lungs to return to the heart through the pulmonary vein.

The blood enters the left atrium.

It drops through the mitral valve into the left ventricle.

The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve and into the aorta. The aorta is the artery that feeds the rest of the body through a system of blood vessels.

Blood returns to the heart from the body via two large blood vessels called the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. This blood carries little oxygen, as it is returning from the body where oxygen was used.

The vena cavas pump blood into the right atrium and the cycle begins all over again.

What are convergent boundaries?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.

Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]

Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence
