Question: Describe how a single amino acid substitution causes hemoglobin molecules to stick together. Use what you know about the structure of Hb and HbS, the properties of glutamic acid and valine, and how hydrophobicity causes molecules to behave in water.
Answer:
A Single amino acid must be polar to attract, just like water.
Explanation:
Sickle cell is an genetic illness and it is began by a alteration that arises in the beta sub units of the haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is a tetrameric protein made up of 2 alpha sub units and 2 beta sub units and it is the important part of the blood accountable for oxygen passage. Sickle cell is a illness that consequences from a replacement of a polar amino acid identified as glutamate with a non polar one valine at site six of the beta polypeptide component of haemoglobin. The replacement occurs as a consequence of a alteration in one of the bases in the beta-globin gene from adenine to thymine . As a outcome of this change, the beta polypeptide chains convert sticky in low oxygen circumstances since the valine sticks out of the chain and interrelates with neighboring non-polar amino acids.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its <u>pH </u>value.
Explanation:
- A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle point.
- Under normal circumstances this means that the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic solution can be taken to be equal to the concentration of the acid.
- The pH is then equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value.
- Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic.
- The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity.
- Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.
Answer:
They also have a specialized non-lignified tissue (the phloem) to conduct products of photosynthesis. Vascular plants include the clubmosses, horsetails, ferns, gymnosperms (including conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants).

Answer:
Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms. It occurs in autotrophs such as plants as well as heterotrophs such as animals. Cellular respiration begins in the cytoplasm of cells
Explanation:
i would say plants aswell
