 12.Discuss the different kinds of interactions that stabilize the tertiary structures of proteins. 

answers:

  1. Protein is made up of polypeptide chains that are the polymers of amino acids. It is a biomolecule.
  2. Protein exists in primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures.
  3. The tertiary structure is the three-dimensional structure. It is found in a globular protein.
  4. When linear protein is coiled and makes loops it is called tertiary structure. It becomes round.
  5. The bonds that provide stabilisation to the tertiary structure of the protein are disulphide bonds, ionic bonds and hydrophobic bonds and wander Waal's interactions.
  6. Myoglobin is an example of the tertiary structure of the protein.

1.In glycolysis, there are energy feeder and harvesting steps and discuss which of the steps for high energy feeding steps and which of the steps for high energy-producing steps with proper metabolic steps. answers: First Half of Glycolysis (Energy-Requiring Steps) In the first half of glycolysis, two adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules are used in the phosphorylation of glucose, which is then split into two three-carbon molecules as described in the following steps. Figure  7.5. 1 7.5. 1 : The first half of glycolysis: investment: The first half of glycolysis uses two ATP molecules in the phosphorylation of glucose, which is then split into two three-carbon molecules. Step 1. The first step in glycolysis is catalyzed by hexokinase, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six-carbon sugars. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP as the source of the phosphate, producing glucose-6-phosphate, a more reactive form of glucose. This reaction prevents t

  1.  The chromosome theory launched the study of genetics, the branch of biology that focuses on the inheritance of traits. What are the rules of inheritance that Mendel discovered?  answer : Mendel's Laws of Inheritance Inheritance can be defined as the process of how a child receives genetic information from the parent. The whole process of heredity is dependent upon inheritance and it is the reason that the offsprings are similar to the parents. This simply means that due to inheritance, the members of the same family possess similar characteristics. It was only during the mid 19th century that people started to understand inheritance in a proper way. This understanding of inheritance was made possible by a scientist named Gregor Mendel, who formulated certain laws to understand inheritance known as Mendel’s laws of inheritance. Mendel’s laws The two experiments lead to the formulation of Mendel’s laws known as laws of inheritance which are: Law of Dominance Law of Segregation
