What are thin long strands of DNA that are coiled folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
Both vary considerably among organisms and types. The DNA in humans, uncoiled from chromosomes, differs from that of a different organism. Proteins can range from dipeptides (two amino acids) to thousands of amino acids long.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)
When a polypeptide is folded it is called what?
Secondry protein
Why polypeptide chains are always called as protein but Proteins are not always polypeptide chains?
Peptides (from the Greek πεπτίδια, "small digestibles") are short polymers formed from the linking, in a defined order, of α-amino acids. The link between one amino acid residue and the next is known as an amide bond or a peptide bond. Proteins are polypeptide molecules (or consist of multiple polypeptide subunits). The distinction is that peptides are short and polypeptides/proteins are long.
Why do the epidermal cells have had there edges folded over?
The epidermal cells have their edges folded over which is part of the structure. This is as a result of the growth factors which makes the cells to proliferate.

What is the definition of flexibity?
Bendable twisted folded
Are polypeptides a carbohydrate?
No. Peptides are strings of amino acids. These proteins (peptides) are folded and coiled into polypeptides.
What is the definition for convolutions?
n. 1. A form or part that is folded or coiled. 2. One of the convex folds of the surface of the brain.
What does plico mean?
"Plico" is a Latin word that means "to fold" or "to bend." It can also be used to describe something being folded or twisted.
What is the definitions of convolutions and sulci?
convolutions: a form or part that is folded or coiled; one of the convex folds of the surface of the brain.Sulci: a shallow groove, such as that between gyri on the brain surface.
How does endomembrane system work together with the ribosomes?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is where ribosomes will congregate to attach onto mRNA strands and transcribe the mRNA into protein strands. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is where the protein strands made in the RER are folded, checked for problems and labeled for delivery to the appropriate location (cell membrane, other organelles, to be stored in a lysosome, etc.).
Why is it necessary to fold DNA?
The total length of DNA is so long that it cannot possibly fit inside a nucleus in its unfolded state. So DNA is folded and coiled around Histones for more compaction.
What molecule is a chromosome made of?
protein and DNA Each chromosome in the nucleus includes one macromolecule of DNA, folded and coiled with protein molecules to reduce its size.
Which side of the plate does the napkin go?
Napkins can either be twisted neatly and placed in a fancy wine glass or water glass or, the napkin can be folded and laid to the right of the place with the knife on top.
How are folded mountains different from dome mountains?
folded mountains are folded
How many folds are in the small intestine?
It's impossible to count. The entire structure of the small intestine is folded and coiled so it's impossible to identify individual folds. Also the small intestine can move around within the abdomen, so changes in shape are normal.
