Edman degradation can be used to A) identify the N-terminal amino acid of a polypeptide. B) identify the C-terminal amino acid of a polypeptide. C) separate the subunits of a multi-subunit protein. D) cleave a protein at specific sites. E) cleave disulfide bonds within a protein so that the individual polypeptides can be separated.
Answer:
A) identify the N-terminal amino acid of a polypeptide
Explanation:
Edman degradation is a series of chemical reactions that enables the stepwise cleavage of the amino-terminal residue from a peptide/protein. This method sequentially removes N-terminal residues without disrupting peptide bonds between other amino acid residues, thereby obtaining the amino acid sequences from the target peptide/protein. Edman degradation can be defined as a cyclic method in which each residue is cleaved off from the amino-terminal end of the peptide/protein and then identified by reverse-phase chromatography, which is a technique used to separate peptides/proteins on the basis of their hydrophobicity.

How do temperature and concentration of monounsaturated phospholipids change the rate at which molecules permeate the plasma membrane?
Answer: At low temperatures the fluidity of the membrane decreases and it favors fluidity. The higher the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, the less tightly the phospholipids can bind and the more fluid (more permeable).
Explanation:
The plasma membrane is a lipid layer that delimits the entire cell, dividing the extracellular medium from the intracellular (the cytoplasm of a cell). They are composed of phospholipids, which are molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group and two lipid chains (such as fatty acids). Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of this membrane. A geometry is formed that allows the phospholipids to line up side by side to form broad sheets. They are insoluble in water, but their unique geometry causes them to aggregate in layers without any energy input, as they possess a hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic tail consisting of the two fatty acid chains. The hydrophilic heads of the phospholipids in a bilayer membrane face outward and are in contact with the aqueous fluid inside and outside the cell. Because water is a polar molecule, it readily forms electrostatic (charge-based) interactions with the phospholipid heads.
Selective permeability is a property of the plasma membrane and other semipermeable membranes that allow only certain particles to pass through them. In this way, those particles that are needed by the cell can enter the cell and those that are not useful to the cell are prevented from entering. In the same way, the cell can eliminate the particles it has produced as waste. In this way, the entry and exit of substances through the membrane is regulated and the correct functioning of the cell is achieved.
For a particle to be able to cross the plasma membrane it must have a size equal to or smaller than the pores of the membrane, it must have the opposite charge to the charge of the membrane or simply have a neutral charge, and if it is larger than the pores it must be dissolved in a solution, decreasing its size and thus be able to enter the cell through the membrane.
Plasma membranes are fluid and this fluidity depends on their lipid composition and temperature. Depending on the temperature, membrane lipids can be found in two different states or phases: gel (solid-like, with more rigid hydrocarbon chains) and liquid crystal (more fluid, with more mobile hydrocarbon chains). At low temperatures the fluidity of the membrane decreases and in these conditions the increase of its concentration favors fluidity. The temperature at which the transition from one state to the other occurs is the phase transition temperature (Tc). At values below Tc, the bilayer is in the gel state and at higher values it passes to the liquid crystal. It should be noted that there is an equilibrium between the gel state and the liquid crystal state and that the characteristics of the lipids of the bilayer condition the transition temperature. In the case of bilayers consisting of only one type of lipid, the Tc is well defined. But biological membranes are complex lipid mixtures and the transition from one state to another occurs over a range of temperatures. The presence of short-chain or unsaturated fatty acids reduces the transition temperature, while saturated fatty acids and the increase in the length of the hydrocarbon chains cause this temperature to rise. Then, phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind as tightly due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, a membrane of unsaturated phospholipids remains fluid at lower temperatures than a membrane of saturated phospholipids.
The fluidity of a membrane is the ability of a molecule to move through it. In short, the higher the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, the less tightly the phospholipids can bind and the more fluid (more permeable) the membrane will be even at low temperatures. However, at low temperatures the fluidity of the membrane decreases (lower permeability) but the effect will depend on the composition of the fatty acids. To determine the exact permeability, it is necessary to relate the concentration of unsaturated bonds and the length of the fatty acids in the phospholipids and the temperature.

Explanation:
hope this helps :)
The feedback that controls the blood pressure has ben the dropping of blood pressures has been mediated to the slowly decrease the volume of blood flowing. Thus, option C is correct.
What is blood pressure?The pressure of the blood in the circulatory system is often measured for diagnosis since it is closely related to the force and rate of the heartbeat and the diameter and elasticity of the arterial walls.
Heart failure is common in patients with high pressure. The body’s blood pressure is a measure of the pressures within the cardiovascular system during the pumping cycle of the heart.
In this case, the higher the cardiac output, the higher the volume of the blood in the vessels. Therefore, this increases the pressure in the vessels.
So, that when blood pressure drops, receptors in blood vessel walls tell the heart to beat more slowly to decrease the volume of the blood flowing. Thus, option C is correct.

The prevalence of CRE infections in health care settings has increased significantly in recent years, in part because these organisms are able to share plasmid-encoded resistance genes. Which method of horizontal gene transfer is most likely responsible for transfer of the plasmid between bacteria
Answer:
Bacterial conjugation
Explanation:
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are different types of bacteria that lead to infections in healthcare settings. Moreover, a plasmid is a small piece of DNA that can replicate independently from the bacterial chromosome. Bacterial conjugation is a type of horizontal gene transfer by which plasmids are transferred from one bacterium referred to as 'donor' into another called 'recipient' by sex pili. Plasmid transfer is unidirectional and depends on physical contact between bacterial cells. In this case, it is expected that this type of DNA transport mechanism occurs among patients occupying the same rooms in healthcare settings.

what is menstruation and why does it occurs
Answer:
A period happens because of changes in hormones in the frame. Hormones are chemical messengers. The ovaries launch the lady hormones estrogen and progesterone . those hormones motive the liner of the uterus (or womb) to build up. The constructed-up lining is prepared for a fertilized egg to connect to and begin developing. If there is no fertilized egg, the liner breaks down and bleeds. Then the identical manner occurs all once more.
It normally takes about a month for the liner to build up, then smash down. this is why a lot of ladies and women get their periods round once a month.
