Among the four main biological macro-molecules, the proteins are capable of outperforming the others as far as their catalytic ability is concerned. This ability of the proteins to outshine in terms of catalytic activity is because of the presence of they contain a variety of the alkyl (R) groups. These alkyl groups attached to the chains of proteins enhances the catalytic activity.

Hence, the given blank can be filled with 'variety of alkyl groups'.

Answer;

-Proteins can contain a variety of R groups

Explanation;

-All amino acids have the alpha carbon bonded to a hydrogen atom, carboxyl group, and amino group. The R group varies among amino acids and determines the differences between these protein monomers.

Hydrogen bonds in secondary structure involve the polar amino and carboxyl groups of amino acids, but do not involve R-groups.As the peptide chain continues to grow, interactions between amino acid side chains (R-groups) form the tertiary structure of a polypeptide.

zloy xaker [14]

The answer is C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.  The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

Plants contain the carbohydrates starch and cellulose. In the spring when stem growth is at its fastest rate, cellulose producti
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

B. Two functions of carbohydrates are structural support and transferring genetic information

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are synthesized in green plants, thanks to photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide (CO2) and water are converted into glycides, with energy provided by light. The energy stored in the glucose molecule during photosynthesis is released in the degradation (catabolism) of glucose, producing water and CO2.

From the point of view of metabolism, the main function of carbohydrates in plant organisms is to provide energy and provide structural support. This can be seen in the question above, because we can see that in spring, when stem growth is at its fastest pace, cellulose production rates increase in some plants, while in months with less sunlight, the level of starch decreases in some plants.

Suppose the following amino acid chain was created based on a student's transcription and translation: Tyr-Leu-Pro-Met In the ch
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Error: The Methionine at the end of the chain

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The start codon is AUG, this codon encodes Methionine. Therefore all proteins will start the amino acid sequence with Methionine.

In this case, the student placed the Methionine at the end of the chain, so that is the mistake. Methionine goes to the beginning of the chain.

A researcher is examining the response of corn to herbivory by white-tailed deer. She sets up a corn field with a very high fenc
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The herbivory by the white-tailed deer

Explanation:

The independent variable can be defined as the variable that who's values do not depend on those of another.

The independent variable in this case is the herbivory by the white-tailed deer which is divided into two categories.

The dependent variables is the response of the corn to the independent variable which are measurements to be taken as shown in the question; the height of the corn plants and the number of ears or corn each plant produces.
