Which of the following best describes the effect of a greater number of cysteine amino acids on the stability of the proteins

Biology
1 answer:
serg [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is -

The change leads to increased protein stability because of an increased number of S-S bonds in the tertiary structure of the proteins.

Explanation:

Cysteine is a special amino acid due to having a free thiol group that can react and forms a sulfur-sulfur bond with another thiol of another cysteine in a protein structure.

These disulfide bonds can stabilize proteins if formed properly and promote stability to the tertiary structure of the proteins. The more the cysteine, the greater the number of thiols, and the greater the s-s bond in the proteins and more stability to the protein.

Efficiency is the measure of how much work or energy is conserved in a process. In many processes, work or energy is lost, for example as waste heat or vibration. The efficiency is the energy output, divided by the energy input, and expressed as a percentage.
Efficiency is the energy output, divided by the energy input, and expressed as a percentage. 
Efficiency = (1350/1500)×100
                = 90%

joja [24]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The cornea is one of the most sensitive tissues of the body, as it is densely innervated with sensory nerve fibres via the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve by way of 70–80 long ciliary nerves. Hence the answer would be option D.

In Zambia, which lions are likely to have migrated from a different population?
Margaret [11]
Zambian lions are split into two subpopulations, with one in the Greater Kafue Ecosystem in the west and the other in the Luangwa Valley Ecosystem in the east. Between these two geographically different regions lies Lusaka, Zambia's largest city, which is surrounded by farmland. males travel long distances to find new prides, while females remain in or close to the pride they were born in. So, for the lion, it's primarily males that are responsible for the movement of genes between prides. This male-mediated gene flow explains the lack of gene flow seen in mitochondrial genes compared to that of nuclear genes—female lions aren't making the journey, but they do mate with new males who come from far away.
