Strong detergents can disrupt hydrophobic interactions. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that controls the levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Scientists studying acetylcholinesterase expose it to increasing amounts of a
strong detergent. What will happen to acetylcholinesterase's structure and function as the detergent levels
increase?
Hydrophobic interactions are important to a protein's structure but not its function, so no change in
acetylcholinesterase's activity is expected.
Hydrophobic interactions are essential to the primary structure of proteins, so acetylcholinesterase will be unable
to build peptide chains.
Hydrophobic interactions interfere with proper tertiary structure, so a strong detergent should clean the
acetylcholinesterase and improve the protein's function.
Hydrophobic interactions are important in maintaining tertiary and quaternary structure, so acetylcholinesterase
will become denatured with increased levels of detergent.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.

What is the significance of the protein-lined pits? a. protein attracts other proteins needed for atp synthesis within the cell. b. protein-lined pits are able to transport one molecule at a time down the concentration gradient within the cell. c. the polarity of proteins allows other polar molecules to attach and be transported in the cell by transport channels. d. receptors within the pits allow ligands to fuse and be transported into the cell by endocytosis.
