Proteins are important food nutrients. A technician working at a food company is interested in the nutritional content of seeds/nuts. She runs a PAGE with samples from two different seed extracts. She runs multiple lanes of the staples. The gel is stained with Coomassie Blue. Seed extract No. 1 has three faint bands at 25, 30, and 35 kDa. Extract No. 2 has two bands at 25 and 35 kDa, and the bands are very dark. What might she conclude from her results about the nutritional value of the seed extracts

Answers

Answer: Sample 1 then, has more variety of proteins but less quantity of each one, while sample 2 has less variety but more quantity of the two proteins present.

Explanation:

Proteins are molecules found in the cells of all living organisms. A protein is composed of monomers called amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. To analyze proteins, a technique called SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) is used. This technique is used to separate proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility, depending on polypeptide chain length, molecular mass, post-translational modifications and other factors. SDS (sodium dodecylsulfate) is an anionic surfactant compound that breaks non-covalent bonds in proteins, denatures them causing these protein molecules to lose their native conformation and provides the polypeptide with a negative charge that is proportional to the chain length (the number of amino acids) and, therefore, to the molecular mass of the protein. The electrostatic repulsion created by the binding of SDS to the protein is one of the causes of the protein losing its native conformation, thus eliminating the differences in conformation of the different proteins to be separated in the gel.

An electric current is applied to the gel where the proteins are seeded, causing the negatively charged proteins to migrate through the gel in the direction of the anode (positively charged region). Short proteins will move more easily and faster through the pores of the gel, while larger proteins will find it more difficult to do so. After a certain time, the proteins will have migrated according to their size (measured in kDa or kiloDaltons). After electrophoresis, the gel should be stained with Coomassie blue or silver stain, allowing visualization of the separated proteins. After staining, the different proteins will appear as distinct bands on the gel. In addition, the higher the amount of a protein, the more intense the color of its band will be.

Extract No. 1 shows three bands: 25, 30 and 35 kDa. This means that it has three different proteins, each with a different molecular weight. Extract number 2 shows two bands: 25 and 35 kDa. It means that this sample has only 2 proteins. And being bands of higher intensity, we can say that there is more of each protein.

Sample 1 then, has more variety of proteins but less quantity of each one, while sample 2 has less variety but more quantity of the two proteins present.

Cellulose and starch are macromolecule polysaccharide carbohydrate made of glucose chains. It stabilizes plant cell walls and provides energy. Therefore , option (A) is correct.

What are carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are renowned for their crucial function in plants, which is to provide key sources of energy and carbon skeletons for organic compounds and storage components. Carbohydrates are formed through the process of photosynthesis.

Starches and cellulose are both types of carbohydrates that belong to the larger class of polysaccharides since they are made up of long chains of glucose molecules. Although they are comparable, the human body is only able to make use of starches as a source of energy, whereas cellulose provides structure to plant cell wall.

how much of our body is made of muscle? What does this muscle do?

Answers

Answer:

about 30 percent of our body is muscle and we use only 10 percent of it

Explanation:

Answer: hello, the answer to you question is The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly half of a person's body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves.

Small, prolific mussels called zebra mussels were first introduced into the Great Lakes by a foreign cargo ship. They became a serious problem because they attached themselves to smooth, hard surfaces, and often clogged water intake pipes. Congress determined that zebra mussels posed a great threat to the economic welfare of the Great Lakes region and passed a statute requiring all Great Lakes water intakes to be coated with a special chemical compound that repels zebra mussels. Studies by biologists at a major state university showed that while the special chemical compound that the federal government has required was effective, it also was toxic to other aquatic life. The biologists recommended that Great Lakes intake pipes be coated with a less toxic and less expensive copper-based paint. On the basis of those studies and the recommendation, three Great Lakes states adopted laws permitting municipal water districts to coat their intake pipes with copper paint.
Can municipalities using copper-based paint on their intake pipes successfully be prosecuted for violating the federal law?
A. No, because the Tenth Amendment prevents Congress from interfering with integral government functions.
B. No, because the municipalities are taking effective steps to combat zebra mussels in compliance with the spirit and purpose of the federal law.
C. Yes, because Congress is in a better position to regulate the entire Great Lakes region than the individual states.
D. Yes, because Congress may adopt laws regulating navigable waters.

Answers

Answer: Yes, because Congress may adopt laws regulating navigable waters.

Explanation:

It should be noted that municipalities using copper-based paint on their intake pipes can successfully be prosecuted for violating the federal law because Congress may adopt laws regulating navigable waters.

Under the Supremacy Clause, when the action of either the state government or the local government conflicts with the federal laws which are deemed valid, then such cities can be prosecuted.

Cuando una celula se va a dividir, la cromatina se contrae y compacta y forma estructuras como la que se ve al lado. Diga qué nombre reciben estas estructuras y cuantas hay en una célula humana

Answers

Answer:

cromosomas

Explanation:

Los cromosomas son moléculas lineales de ADN que contienen parte o todo el material genético de un organismo. El ciclo celular se divide en dos etapas: 1-interfase o etapa de 'no división' y 2-división celular. Durante la interfase, las fibras de cromatina no poseen un grado de condensación suficiente como para hablar de cromosomas. Durante la primera etapa de división celular (es decir, durante la profase), las fibras de cromatina se condensan para formar estructuras compactas conocidas como 'cromosomas' los cuales serán distribuidos entre células hijas. Las células somáticas de los seres humanos son diploides (2n = 46 cromosomas), esto significa que contienen 23 pares de cromosomas homólogos los cuales se alinean durante la metafase de la mitosis en la placa ecuatorial de la célula para ser distribuidos equitativamente entre células hijas durante las fases posteriores del ciclo celular (anafase, telofase y citocinesis). Por otra parte, las células germinales o gametos (espermatozoides masculinos y los óvulos femeninos) son haploides (n = 23 cromosomas) las cuales contienen un sólo set completo de cromosomas.

which statement best differentiaates between weather and climate

Answers

Answer:

Weather refers to short-term atmospheric fluctuations, whereas climate explains the weather in a certain place over a long period of time.

Explanation:

Globally, weather conditions are measured at hundreds of locations every day of the year by observers and automated stations. Some remarks are made every hour, others perhaps once a day. In the long run, these weather observations allow us to quantify average long-term conditions, giving an insight into the climate of the region.

Systemic weather records have been recorded for over 140 years in various places in the United States. We can recognize patterns and trends with these long-term records. And it's our mission to collect, monitor, and arrange these data, as the official repository of the Nation for environmental data, for scientists, decision-makers, and you online.
