which of the following levels of protein organization shows the complete 3D arrangement of the polypeptide chain
kherson [118]

Proteins are the macromolecules made of hundreds of amino acids. Proteins are most varied class of biological molecules and show the greatest variety of structures. Many have detailed three-dimensional folding patterns that result in a compact form, but others do not fold up at all and they are in random conformations. The function of proteins depends on their structure.

The secondary structure of protein fold together to form the 3D arrangement of a polypeptide chain that results into Tertiary structure which is a functional protein.

Which type of macromolecule makes up the capsid of a virus
Elenna [48]

Protein

Proteins are the most versatile macromolecules in living systems and they play important roles in essentially all biological processes. Protein makes up the capsid of a virus. The infective extracellular form of a virus known as a virion contains at least one unique protein synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid of that virus. In almost all viruses, at least one of these proteins forms a shell (called a capsid) around the nucleic acid. Certain viruses also have other proteins internal to the capsid. Some of these proteins act as enzymes during the synthesis of viral nucleic acids.

If they gave IVs of pure water in the emergency room to people who are dehydrated, what would happen?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>B. blood cells would be in a hypotonic solution, so water would rush into the cell causing it to expand and eventually burst</em>.

Explanation:

Cells have a certain solute concentration that produces an osmotic pressure of aproximately 300 mOsm. For that reason, IVs solutions must have a solute concentration which equals the cell osmotic pressure. That is usually acomplished by using an aqueous solution of NaCl 0.9% w/v or 5% w/v Glucose.

If an IV of pure water is administrated to a person, the blood cells will be in a hypotonic solution. That is, with a concentration lesser than the concentration inside the cells. Due to the difference in concentration, a net flow of water will be produced from the exterior to the cell interior. As the volume of the cell is increased, the cell membrane is damaged and eventually the cell will collapse.
