48. Aquaporins are located within the lipid bilayer of a cell's piasma membrane, which act as a channel for water to enter and exit a cell, while albumin is a protein that circulates freely in human plasma. How would the tertiary structure of these two proteins mostly likely compare based on their physiological locations? A. Albumin has a more nonpolar core with a nonpolar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more polar core with a polar outer layer B. Albumin has a more nonpolar core with a polar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more polar core with a nonpolar outer layer C. Albumin has a more polar core with a nonpolar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more nonpolar core with a polar outer layer D. Albumin has a more polar core with a nonpolar outer layer, while aquaporins have a more nonpolar core with a polar outer layer

Most protein dissolve in neutral salt solution, is that true? Provide reasoning
It is observed that as temperature is increased, most protein molecules gofrom their defined, folded state into a random-coil, denatured state thatexposes more hydrophobic surface area than is exposed in the folded state.(a) Given what you have learned so far about ΔH and ΔS, explain why thisis reasonable. (b) Sometimes, however, proteins denature as temperature is decreased.How might this be explained?
1. a. Explain why the melting point of palmitic acid (16 carbons, no double bonds) is slightly lower thanthat of stearic acid (18 carbons, no double bonds). Explain why the melting point of oleic acid (18carbons, one double bond) is lower than that of stearic acid b. A mixture of lipids containing phosphatidic acid, cholesterol, testosterone, phosphatidylserine, andphosphatidylethanolamine was applied to a hydrophobic interaction chromatography column. Thecolumn was washed with a high salt buffer, and the lipids were then eluted with decreasing saltconcentrations. In what order would the lipids be eluted from the column? Explain your answer.
