#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. Ionic bonds on the external surface of the folded protein are more stable than those buried in the protein interior.

  2. In an ionic bond, a hydrogen atom carrying a partial positive charge on the electronegative atom of one covalent bond interacts with the partial negative charge of an electronegative atom of a second polar covalent bond.

  3. Ionic bonds can only form between acidic and basic polar charged amino acid R groups in a specific pH range.

  4. Ionic bonds only exist in inorganic molecules.

Fossils of Lystrosaurus, a dicynodont therapsid, are most common in parts of modern-day South America, South Africa, Madagascar, India, South Australia, and Antarctica. It apparently lived in arid regions, and was mostly herbivorous. It originated during the mid-Permian period, survived the Permian extinction, and dwindled by the late Triassic, though there is evidence of a relict population in Australia during the Cretaceous. The dicynodonts had two large tusks, extending down from their upper jaws; the tusks were not used for food gathering, and in some species were limited to males. Food was gathered using an otherwise toothless beak. Judging from the fossil record, these pig-sized organisms were the most common mammal-like reptiles of the Permian. Anatomically, what was true of Lystrosaurus?
