A waterborne pollutant can have different effects on aquatic life depending on the nature of the pollutant. A pollutant at lower levels can have minimal or no effect on aquatic life. However, when the concentrations of the pollutant are high, the population of aquatic organisms can be greatly reduced. There are also times when pollutants at lower concentrations cause significant damage. An organism can consume another organism that has absorbed small amounts of the pollutant. As the consumer takes in more of the contaminated organism, the pollutant is magnified in the body of the consumer resulting in lethal concentrations. This is called biomagnification.

denpristay [2]
The interaction between two polar molecules would involve HYDROGEN BONDS.
Polar molecules are molecules that have both positive and negative charges as a result of the differences in the electronegativity of the atoms that made up the molecule. Polar molecules interact through dipole dipole inter molecular forces and hydrogen bonds.

1. You are studying an integral membrane protein of the plasma membrane. It has a single transmembrane domain and the N-terminal
Drupady [299]

Answer:

A 22 to 25 amino acid sequence present in the central section of the protein, which gives rise to an alpha helix in the membrane is known as the stop-transfer anchor sequence. The sequence plays an essential function in targeting the protein towards the plasma membrane. On the other hand, it also ceases targeting of the protein towards the endoplasmic reticulum, which was started by the signal peptide.  

Thus, the process of translation of the remaining of the protein occurs within the cytosol due to the tethering of the transmembrane domain. In the stop-transfer anchor sequence, the hydrophobic amino acids present are isoleucine and valine. After mutation, these amino acids get converted into arginine and lysine, thus, hydrophilic amino acids replace hydrophobic amino acids in the sequence.  

Due to this, the transmembrane domain cannot be targeted towards an integral part of the plasma membrane by the short transfer anchor sequence, and therefore, now the translocation of the protein will take place towards the endoplasmic reticulum as initiated by the signal peptide at the beginning.
