Is urea a strong base?
Urea is a weak base. Strong bases dissociate completely when immersed in water. Urea does not. However, it is quite toxic and should be handled with care.
How can there be so many different types of proteins when there are only 23 different amino acids?
Proteins are really very diverse in terms of their amino acid composition. Proteins are coded in the DNA, the sequence of DNA (A, T, G, C) determines the fate of amino acids that join together to form a protein. so the bases of the DNA can make a diverse group of proteins. normally proteins from a same family (for example antibodies or kinases) share a conserved domains or amino acids although they differ in their specificity and function.
What happens to protein structure at low and high pH?
A change in PH can alter the 3D confirmation of the protein cauzing it to lose function partially or completely. **** A change in pH can denature a protein and also can cause it to change shape, therefore making it useless****
Why are proteins and carbohydrates polymers-?
It depends on the context. Colloquially, proteins and carbohydrates mean the polymers (polypeptides and polysaccharides) because there is no need to address the monomers - we eat the polymers. However, while studying Biochemistry, it is not sufficient to say just protein or carbohydrate. You would need to specify if your talking about a monomer or a polymer and what type.
Will protein dissolve in water?
Some can dissolve but others cannot. Mostly because they are so large, proteins have groups that are soluble and parts that are not. If these specific groups are in the center of the protein structure then the whole protein is soluble however if these groups are not in the center then the protein is not soluble.
What happens when you eat only fruits?
Fruits are highly nutritious. They provide you with an array of Vitamins, fiber and carbohydrates. However, you need a lot of proteins and fats that are unavailable in fruits for the body to function properly. In addition to fruits, if you could consume vegetables, milk and Soy products, you're good to go.
Which cell organelle controls the synthesis of enzymes?
You did not include a diagram. However, enzymes are proteins and DNA (genes) in chromosomes control this function.
Which is not a reason cells stay small?
We can not give you an answer as you do not give a choice. However, cells stay small because they are the right size to function properly. Perhaps you can select an answer from that.
Do all proteins have catalytic properties?
No, generally proteins have not catalytic properties, typical roles of proteins are - Components of the body structure (muscles for example); - Element of information transmission among cells; - Transportation proteins (like Cholesterol for example that is used tot transport fat molecules in blood) - Antibodies and many others A particular class of proteins however do exist, enzymes, that are the most used catalytic substances in nature. They are however only a particular category among proteins.
Is the Protein alive?
Proteins are not of themselves alive. However, proteins are the building blocks of all living things.
Are integrins embedded in the lipid bilayer?
Yes they are, as well as glycoproteins, integral proteins, and transmembrane proteins. Peripheral proteins however are not embedded in the lipid bilayer.
Do all integral proteins move quickly?
No. The movement of integral proteins cannot be generalized. Integral proteins are those that are embedded into the cell membrane. A part of the protein might be a receptor outside the cell while the other end might extend into the cytoplasm. However, their movement depends on their function. Some integral proteins may not move and remain static whereas other may move to a different location in search of molecules called second messengers
Why will eating a low carbohydrate diet be a healthier one?
it won't be, you won't have enough energy to function properly... *trick question* a low-fat diet will be a healthier one depending on your weight however
What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with a refractive index same as of glass?
The "nature" of it is the same as if it weren't immersed. However, if it has the same refractive index as the material it's immersed in, it will no longer have any discernable effect on the refraction of light; from the outside it will appear to just be another part of the liquid (it may well disappear from sight, since it's no longer visually distinguishable from the liquid itself).
What is the effect of fish culture?
This question is not properly framed. However fish culture may produce more fishes to fulfill the requirement of quality proteins to the growing human population. It may reduce the burden of capture fisheries from the wild source.
What is superfamily in proteins?
Proteins aren't complete creatures, so they don't fall under the Linnean classification system. However, if you should mean what are the precursors of proteins, the answer is amino acids.
Do you need to replace your abs module on your Ford 2002 Windstar to keep your normal brakes working properly?
No. Your normal brakes will still work even if the ABS Module is bad. You will however have no ABS function.
