What is a four single binary digit called?
Byte
What is a solid that is bounded by polygons called faces that enclose a single region of space?
It is called a polyhedron.

Dipthong
A single horizontal line of data is called a?

Is a single number characteristic describe a population is called a parameter?
Parameter
What contains information to produce a single polypeptide?
the gene and mRNA carries it but a ribosome and a tRNA can be used to make any polypeptide
What are three nucleotides that specify a single amino acid to be added to a polypeptide?
CONDON
What permits a single gene to code for more than one polypeptide?
Alternative splicing permits a single gene to code for more than one polypeptide. In alternative splicing, certain exons of a gene may be included or excluded from the messenger RNA used to code for proteins.
How are amion acids ploypeptides and proteins related?
Amino acids are the single units of which polypeptide chains, long chains of various amino acids, are constructed while the folding these polypeptide chains go through construct the mature protein.
What is usually the largest single account in the overall balance of payments?
The largest single account in the overall balance of payments is, for most countries, the current account.
Simple proteins are composed of only what?
Simple proteins are composed of only amino acids. These proteins are also called monomeric proteins because they consist of a single polypeptide chain. The sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of the protein.
What r two basic steps of polypeptide synthesis?
The 2 basic steps of polypeptide synthesis are:Transcription - the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template. Only one strand of DNA is copied, and a single gene may be transcribed thousands of times.Translation - the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mature mRNA transcript produced during transcription. The ribosome attaches to mRNA, and then moves along the mRNA adding amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain.

What is a difference in the structure of proteins and polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are essentially many carbon sugar "rings" linked together. They are carbohydrates, and our bodies break them down into monosaccharides (single "rings") to gain energy. To provide energy is their main function. In contrast, a peptide bond is formed between two amino acids via dehydration synthesis. Amino acids are the monomers for proteins within the body, who function in part to catalyze reactions and carry out other directions of DNA. Many peptide bonded amino acids = a polypeptide. The most basic difference would be that polypeptides are proteins, where as polysaccharides are carbohydrates.
Why does the Anfinsen experiment not work using mature insulin?
Proinsulin (a precursor to insulin) is made up of a polypeptide chain known in three parts as A, B and C. When proinsulin is converted to insulin the C part is cleaved off, leaving A and B attached only by disulfide bridges (C was in the middle of the polypeptide). In the Anfinsen experiment the beta-mercaptoethanol breaks these disulfide bridges, you now have two free, separate polypeptide chains. Thus there is no reason for them to go back together the way they originally were, just chance! It's not like a single polypeptide where the intermolecular interactions would determine how it refolded.
What is the difference between the structure of a protein and an amino acid?
think of it like legos. single Lego pieces are like amino acids and they get bonded together to form a longer chain called a polypeptide. polypeptides bind to other polypeptides by hydrogen bonding to each other and form a protein with structure.
The one gene one polypeptide theory states that?
The one gene-one polypeptide theory states that for every gene one protein is synthesized n a cell. This theory has lost favor with the discoveries of post-translational modification, protein splicing and epigenetics, all of which support the production of multiple protein products from a single gene.
