Chitin and celulose are hard to digest because THEY BOTH HAVE AN ALTERNATING ARRANGEMENT OF GLUCOSE MOLECULES, HOWEVER CELLULOSE HAVE HYDROGEN BONDS WHILE CHITIN HAS AMINO GROUP BONDS. Humans does not have enzymes that can break the beta acetal linkages that are present in cellulose, thus they can not digest cellulose.

How does a single change in nitrogen base alter the formation of a protein
jasenka [17]


During translation to RNA, the nitrogen bases on the DNA molecule are translated to complementary RNA bases. Afterwards, these bases are again used to form amino acids.
Three bases make up a codon, which codes for a specific amino acid. If a base is changed, the codon will become changed. This will result in a different amino acid being produced in and the primary structure of the polypeptide will be altered.

Pure water is neutral. What is the appropriate justification for this? A. Water has equal H+ and OH- ions, making its pH 7, whic
Pani-rosa [81]
The correct solution for this is explained the first option. Since water has an equivalent amount or number of H ions and OH ions, pure water itself is not slightly acidic nor basic. This equality of ions, causes the pH of water to be around the mid point of the pH scale which goes from 0 - 14, and thus is 7. This is a neutral pH.
