On a lab bench, there are four balloons filled with identical volumes of different salt solutions: 0% (balloon
A), 5% (balloon B), 10% (balloon C), and 15% (balloon D). There are also four beakers each filled with identical volumes of a 10% salt solution. The balloons are semi-permeable; that is, only water can enter and exit the balloon. All four balloons are placed in separate beakers at the same time and are allowed to come to equilibrium. Which is the correct order of balloon volumes at equilibrium, from largest to smallest?
A) A < B < C < D
B) D < C < B < A
C) D < B < A < C
D) All balloons will be of equal volume at equilibrium.
A

Use your knowledge of amino acid characteristics to order the peptides below according to the net charge contributed by their side chains at physiological pH (~pH 7). Each peptide contains eight amino acids
Use the single-letter amino acid designations to generate your list, placing the most negatively charged peptide on the left and the most positively charged peptide on the right. In addition, for each peptide, list the total number of positive and negative charges. Remember that, at neutral pH, the amino terminus carries a positive charge and the carboxyl terminus carries a negative charge. A. YGAKKRA B. ARRKSTRK C. DERKQNST D. DDAEIYSA E. NQSTYEEG
