Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood and consists of a chain of 146 amino acids. how many different types of amino acids ar

e used to construct proteins?

Solution:

Myoglobin has a single chain of 153 amino acids wrapped around a group of iron and other atoms (called "heme") to which oxygen binds. Hemoglobin, in contrast, is made of up four chains: two identical chains consisting of 141 amino acids, and two other identical chains consisting of 146 amino acids.

Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for our body to make thousands of different kinds of proteins from just the same 21amino acids. There are only 20 amino acids.

The 20 Amino acids which make proteins are:

• alanine - ala - A (gif, interactive)

• arginine - arg - R (gif, interactive)

• asparagine - asn - N (gif, interactive)

• aspartic acid - asp - D (gif, interactive)

• cysteine - cys - C (gif, interactive)

• glutamine - gln - Q (gif, interactive)

• glutamic acid - glu - E (gif, interactive)

• glycine - gly

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution
grandymaker [24]

Hi!


The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.


In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process  which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.


Hope this helps!

If you were able to walk into an opening cut into the center of a large redwood tree, when you exit from the middle of the trunk
strojnjashka [21]
If you were to cross a large redwood tree, like for an example a sequoia, from the middle of the trunk you would first cross the annual rings, indicators of the trunk growth over the years, then after that you would cross the phloem, the ''piping'' of the tree responsible for the transport of water throughout the tree and in the end you would cross the tree's bark, the protective layer on surface of the trunk.

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell has a signal sequence that targets it to the plasma membrane
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell:

- is targeted to the RER as a soluble protein.

Explanation:

The main function of the RER is the synthesis and transport of secretion or membrane proteins.

If you are looking for the RER you could fount it on eukaryotic cells, side by side of the nucleus, and cover in ribosomes.

20 POINTSS!!!!
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The innate or nonspecific immune system includes two lines of defense in the human body. Non-specific means that it does not act on the specific pathogen. It works equally to keep all types of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, parasites et cetera out of the body.

The first line of defense includes physical barrier which prevents the entry of pathogens into the body. It includes skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, cilia, nasopharynx, eyelashes, and body hairs.

It also includes chemical barriers such as mucus, gastric acid, bile, tears, sweat,  and saliva.

The second line of defense includes anti-inflammatory responses, fever, and nonspecific cellular responses such as phagocytes, macrophages, complement system et cetera.

Thus, the virus has to pass physical, chemical, and nonspecific cellular responses of the body in order to infect the body.
