You cannot put your hand on a solid table because the particles are close together and in a fixed position. This is because the atoms of a solid are not like liquid, gas, and plasma. The particles are too condensed to move around an opposing force.
Answer:
Polysaccharide Functions
The three main functions of polysaccharides are providing structural support, storing energy, and sending cellular communication signals. The carbohydrate structure largely determines its function. Linear molecules, like cellulose and chitin, are strong and rigid.
Explanation:
: A carbohydrate that can be decomposed by hydrolysis into two or more molecules of monosaccharides especially : one (such as cellulose, starch, or glycogen) containing many monosaccharide units and marked by complexity.
Answer: Option B.
harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll
Explanation:
In the thylakoid membranes,the main role of the antenna pigment molecules is harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll because the photon of light move until it get to a molecule in the chlorophyll. When it reaches the molecule, it causes an excitation of electrons in the chlorophyll. The energy then present allow it to break free from the chlorophyll atom, which indicate chlorophyll donating an electron and the energy that is absorbed is then converted to heat.
Answer:
chitin
Explanation:
metchelle. A specialized carbohydrate that is used for structure in shrimp is called chitin. Not only it is found in the shrimp cells, but also on other crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters.
Answer:
The true statement is <em>Hydrophobic side chains are usually in the interior of the native structure</em>.
Explanation:
In the native structure of a protein, the hydrophobic side chains of aminoacids- such as leucine (Leu), alanine (Ala), methionine (Met), and others-are located in the interior of the structure. They are buried inside the structure, whereas polar side chains are exposed to the outside in the structure, and they interact with water molecules.
Regarding the other statements, entropy-as a measure of disorder of a system-is very important in protein stability as we know that native conformations are more ordered systems, with lower entropy and higher stability. Aminoacids in the protein structure interact each other through Van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds.
