Answer: D-amino acids are less likely to be recognized by proteolytic enzymes thereby they are not degradated.
Explanation:
Peptides are a type of polymers formed by joining several amino acids by means of peptide bonds. They are responsible for a large number of important cellular functions for the organism. Amino acids are thus the monomers that make up peptides and consist of an amino group (-NH2) at one end of the molecule and a carboxyl group (-COOH) at the other end.
Antibiotics are chemical substances produced by a living being (although they can also be synthetic derivatives made in laboratories), which kill or prevent the growth of certain kinds of sensitive microorganisms and are generally drugs used in the treatment of bacterial infections.
All amino acids, except glycine, are stereoisomers which means that there are nonoverlapping mirror images of their structure. These are labeled L (left-handed) and D (right-handed) to distinguish mirror images. A mirror image, for example, compares a right foot with a left foot. They are similar, but not exactly the same, they are like mirror images of each other. However, we could not, for example, put a right shoe on a left foot and vice versa. The same analogy applies to stereoisomers, they are similar but not superimposable, which means that not all compounds will act in the same way in an L or D molecule. For some reason, the amino acids that make up the proteins in human bodies are all L-amino acids.
To distinguish an L-amino acid from a D-amino acid, we must look at the α-carbon, which has four substituents forming a tetrahedron. then we must identify the hydrogen bonded directly to this carbon. In this way they are numbered and following the numbering order, they are classified as L or D.
Bacteria that secrete D amino acids kill other bacteria in the environment that might compete with them for resources, because they have antibiotic properties. These D amino acids are not usually recognized by proteolytic enzymes in organisms that degrade peptides or proteins. So the amino acid remains in the environment fulfilling its function, which is an antibiotic function to fight against other bacteria. Peptide toxins also fulfill this function, however, if they are destroyed by proteases.
explain the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell.
Answer:
Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is where Eukaryotic stores their genetic information.
Does anyone know this?
Answer: The correct answer is zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.
Explanation:
The zygote is the single cell that was the result of fertilization.
The blastocyst is the big ball of cells that was the result of differentiation and mitosis.
Then comes the embryo, and then finally, the fetus.

The arrows in a food chain show: a Who eats who b Heat energy being lost c The movement of energy between organisms d The route of food to the shops
Answer:
c The movement of energy between organisms
Explanation:
Pyramid of energy is a model used to depict the flow of energy from one trophic level or feeding level to the next in an ecosystem. It's a diagram that compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level of the food chain. The pyramid of energy must never be inverted or turned upside down.
The units used in the construction of pyramids of energy is kilocalories (kcal) or energy per area per time (Jm-²year-¹).
This ultimately implies that, the arrows in a food chain show the movement of energy between organisms such as from producers which are autotrophs or self-feeders such as plants to the tertiary consumers.
Furthermore, a list of the types of organisms in an eco pyramid are;
I. Producers: these are autotrophs or self-feeders such as plants.
II. Primary consumers: these are herbivores that typically feed on plants such as a goat or deer.
III. Secondary consumers: these consists of carnivores that typically feed or eat flesh such as lion, tiger, cheetah, etc.
IV. Tertiary consumers: these are higher predators such as humans that aren't normally fed on by other organisms in the ecosystem.
Answer: The arrows in a food chain show (The movement of energy between organisms). The correct option is C.
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, a food chain shows the transfer of energy and nutrients ( food) from organisms to organisms in a feeding pathway. Instead of giving functional group names such as primary producer, primary consumer and so on, in a good chain, the organism at each step is identified. Thus,
Grass-------> Zebra ---------> lion
(Primary (Primary ( secondary
producer). consumer) consumer)
this is an example of a simple food chain in a grassland ecosystem. This ARROWS represented above shows the direction of energy flow through an ecosystem.
Furthermore, the grass traps solar energy and stores it as chemical energy in the food made during photosynthesis. When eaten by Zebra, which is the primary consumer, the energy stored in the grass is transferred to the consumer. This transfer is inefficient as some of the stored chemical energy is lost as heat. When the zebra is eaten by a Lion,which is the secondary consumer.
What are three benefits of vertical farming that provide an advantage over horizontal farming.
Answer:
Minimise water usage
Weather doesn't affect the crops
There is less exposure to chemicals and disease
Explanation:
Why do many water animals not have a well developed blood system?
The simplest animals, such as the sponges (Porifera) and rotifers (Rotifera), do not need a circulatory system because diffusion allows adequate exchange of water, nutrients, and waste, as well as dissolved gases. Instead, gases, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged by diffusion.

The acceleration of an object is measure by its change in velocity per unit time. The equation for acceleration is: a =v/t. Acceleration is represented by 'a'. Velocity is represented by 'v'. Time is represented by 't'. Rearrange the equation to solve for time.
Answer:
t=v/a
Explanation:
To solve for Time
Since acceleration is change in velocity/time
a=v/t
Cross multiply
a×t=v
at=v
Divide both side by a since we want to find Time
at/a=v/a
t= v/a

Why are enzymes important?
1. They contain the genetic material.
2. They speed up chemical reactions.
3. They bring water into the cell.
4. They help the cell maintain its shape.
Why do you think genetic orders do not completely disappear from the human population, even though there are great researchers and excellent health care? PLS HELP
Answer:
Because we have not yet figured out to successfully remove/change genes on a large scale. Once we do, genetic disorders will no longer be as prevalent.

Answer:
C. Red
Explanation:
Red colour on the map shows the Mid Atlantic Ridge. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is also called as a mid-ocean ridge. It is an underwater mountain system formed due to plate tectonics. It is created due to a divergent plate boundary that started from 87° N about 333 km to the south of the North Pole which is 54 °S, which is north of the coast of Antarctica. In the picture, the red colour is the line that shows Mid Atlantic Ridge.

A.adaptive radiation
B.coevolution
C.mass extinction
D.punctuated equilibrium
Answer:
A

What is the microscopic nature of a cell ?

How is a cell adapted to its small size?
Answer:
No 1 answer They require sophiscated tools. The microscopes help in the study of cells. The molecular study of the cells are performed by the help of electron microscope. So, we can say that cells are microscopic in nature.
Explanation:
No 2 answer The nucleus is the largest and most prominent of a cell's organelles (Figure 3.7). The nucleus is generally considered the control center of the cell because it stores all of the genetic instructions for manufacturing proteins.
No 3 answer Smaller single-celled organisms have a high surface area to volume ratio, which allows them to rely on oxygen and material diffusing into the cell (and wastes diffusing out) in order to survive. The higher the surface area to volume ratio they have, the more effective this process can be.

3) In order for an ecosystem to thrive, it needs to exist in a form of harmony and balance between its biotic and abiotic factors. Describe how small changes to both biotic and abiotic components can have major effects on an ecosystem.
Answer:
Changing temperature causes extinction or removal of organism from that place.
Explanation:
Small changes to both biotic and abiotic components can have major effects on an ecosystem because these are the factors on which the ecosystem depends. For example, if the temperature of the ecosystem increases from its limit, it makes the environment unfavourable for the organism so due to this change, the organism migrated to other location otherwise they will die due to unfavourable environment.
