The R group should have the ability to form hydrogen bonds.

The R-group take a lot of different chemical forms and can be acidic, basic, polar or non polar. Amino acids that are either acidic or basic consequently have either positive or negative charge. These types of R-groups are stabilized when surrounded by water.

The plasma membrane is the membrane that delimits a cell. It separates the inside of the cell (the cytoplasm) from the outside environment. It is mainly composed of lipids, particularly phospholipids, between which proteins can be inserted.
An amino acid is a carboxylic acid which also has an amine functional group. so it has both a carboxyl group -COOH and an amine group (for example a primary amine -NH 2 or a secondary amine -NH-).
It is customary to classify amino acids into four groups according to the properties of their side chain: acid, basic, hydrophilic, hydrophobic.
apolar amino acids (hydrophobic) tend to occupy the heart of proteins or offer points of adhesion on their surface. In a protein membrane, it tends to occupy the inner part of the membrane, due to lipophilic (hydrophobic) property of their R group attracted by the membrane's lipid. 
polar amino acids (hydrophilic) tend to occupy the surface of proteins. They can be acidic, basic, or neutral. They have a strong chemical reactivity and are therefore found in the catalytic site of enzymes.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The cow uses all but stores ten percent of what they eat.

Explanation:

For example, a plant produces 100 percent energy. The plant needs to use the energy for survival.

When a cow eats the plant, it only gains 10 percent of the energy.

Then, say a wolf eats the cow.

The wolf only gets 1 percent of the energy that is produced by the plant.

<h2>Ecological Footprint - Option C</h2>

An ecological footprint is determined by measuring the rate of water used. The Ecological Footprint is determined by following how much biologically prolific field it needs to consume a population's carbon dioxide radiations and to produce all the means it absorbs.

A country's consumption is measured by summing imports to and deducting exports from its nationwide generation.

il63 [147K]

Answer: The pathology described in the question is "testicular torsion".

The most sensitive physical exam that is specific to this pathology is testing for reflexes. The inner thigh of the affected side when rubbed should cause the testicle to contract; but in this pathology, it does not.

Explanation:

Testicular torsion is a condition caused by the twisting of the spermatic cord, which causes a loss of blood flow to the testicle. It is the leading cause of testicular loss in adolescent boys, if no surgical intervenvention is carried out as soon as possible.
