When egg white is heated, it hardens and is opaque. This cooking process cannot be reversed, but hard-boiled egg white can be di

ssolved by heating it in a solution containing SDS (strong detergent) and 2-mercaptoethanol (reducing agent). Neither reagent alone has any effect.
a. Why does boiling an egg white cause it to harden and become opaque?
b. Why does it require both a reducing agent and a detergent to dissolve the hard-boiled egg white?

Answer:

Generally proteins are denatured at high temperature.Therefore when  the egg is hard boiled they are denatured since eggs are protein,  the 3-dimensional  structure of protein is lost, and it is replaces with tangled meshwork of polypeptide chains .This is because the  orderly arrangements of  disulphide bonds in proteins  are disrupted , which  results in the formation of inter chains bonds among   disulphide bonds, making the protein molecules to link together.This explains the reason for the 3-D structure disruption  and formation of  a macro molecule.

However,   the  addition of reducing agent ,  breaks the covalent disulphide bonds.   While detergent breaks the interchain bonds among the disulphide bonds.  (The noncovalent bonds),These combined effects untangled the  mesh networks of polypeptides formed, and reduces the hardened nature,

Organisms living in the deep bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones require oxygen for respiration. What process brings oxygen fro
alekssr [168]

The correct answer is upwelling from equatorial to Polar Regions results in bringing oxygen from the epipelagic zone to deeper oceanic zones.  

It is a process in which the wind mediated motion of nutrient-rich, dense, and cooler water is moved towards the surface substituting the nutrient depleted and warmer surface water. The epipelagic zone refers to the upper layer of the ocean, which is abundant in oxygen and gets the majority of the sunlight for the procedure of photosynthesis. The upwelling of water from the equatorial to the polar region brings oxygen.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the <u><em>grey column</em></u> , and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the <u><em>ventral or anterior</em></u> horns, which innervate skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

The grey matter is a component of the central nervous system that contains neuronal and glial cells and it can be found in the brain, brainstem and <em>spinal cord, in this last one, is found in the grey column, a mass of grey matter shaped in H form.</em>

In this column the grey matter is divided into four columns (as you can see in the image I added):

  • The dorsal or posterior horn: contains somatosensorial neurons
  • <em> The ventral or anterior horn: contains somatic efferent motor neurons (they exit the spinal cord to innervate skeletal muscle) </em>
  • The intermediate column: contains neurons to innervate visceral organs
  • The lateral horn: same as the intermediate column

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Setler [38]

The digeorge syndrome is a genetic disorder, which caused by the deletion in the chromosome number 22. This disease is characterized by the congenital heart disease, immunodeficiency, and hypocalcemia.  

In this case, the most frequent clinical manifestation is hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia is the condition, in which the blood calcium level would be declined to a significant level.
