Explain what is meant by the following levels of protein structure: 1) primary structure; 2) secondary structure; 3) tertiary structure; and 4) quaternary structure. For secondary structure, name each type of secondary structure, and for each type, describe the structure and explain the roles of hydrogen bonding in that type of secondary structure. For tertiary structure, describe the role of hydrophobicity in tertiary structure; also, explain how hydrophobicity affects tertiary structure of a cytoplasmic protein and how it affects the tertiary structure of a membrane protein. For quaternary structure, give the name of a protein that has quaternary structure and describe, generally, its quaternary structure.

Corporation Income Statements (excerpt)

Using 2018 as a base year, determine the change and percentage change in each line item from 2018 to 2019. Did sales to customers increase or decrease from 2018 to 2019? Did net income increase for decrease from 2018 to 2019? What line item(s) is (are) driving the differences between sales to customers and net income from 2018 to 2019? Vertical Analysis Compute each line item as a percentage of sales for 2018 and 2019. Which line items makes up the largest proportion of sales in 2018 and 2019? (Keep in mind that some of the items like gross profit and earnings before provision for taxes on income are subtotals.) Comment of any changes in the income and expenses as a percent of sales from 2018 and 2019.

The data below are for 30 people. The independent variable is “age” and the dependent variable is “systolic blood pressure.” Also, note that the variables are presented in the form of vectors that can be used in R. age=c(39,47,45,47,65,46,67,42,67,56,64,56,59,34,42,48,45,17,20,19,36,50,39,21,44,53,63,29,25,69) systolic.BP=c(144,20,138,145,162,142,170,124,158,154,162,150,140,110,128,130,135,114,116,124,136,142,120,120,160,158,144,130,125,175) a) Using R, develop and show a scatterplot of systolic blood pressure (dependent variable) by age (independent variable), and calculate the correlation between these two variables. b) Assume that these data are “straight enough” to model using a linear regression line. Develop and show that model (write out the model in the terms of the problem), and also show in a plot the line that best fits these data. c) Plot the residuals and comment on what you see as to how appropriate the model is. d) Using a boxplot, determine if there are any outliers in systolic blood pressure. If so, point out which points are outliers, if any. e) Assuming there is at least one outlier in systolic blood pressure, remove that outlier and re-do parts a) through c) again using the remaining data without the outlier(s). State and comment on this second model. f) In your second model, explain in the context of age and systolic blood pressure what the slope of your fitted line means. Also, for your second model, calculate R2 (the coefficient of determination), and explain what that means in the context of your second model.

a. You have just purchased the options listed below. Based on the information given, indicate whether the option is in the money, out of the money, or at the money, whether you would exercise the option if it were expiring today, what the dollar profit would be, and what the percentage return would be. (Enter “0” if there is no profit or return from not exercising the option. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

b. Now suppose that time has passed and the stocks’ prices have changed as indicated in the table below. Recalculate your answers to part a.
