The pi-helix is a rare secondary structural element in proteins that resembles an alpha helix but has slightly different properties. Notably, hydrogen bonds within a pi-helix display a repeating pattern in which the backbone C=O of residue i hydrogen bonds to the backbone HN of residue i+5. Based on this information, which of the following are true? Select all that apply. O The hydrogen bonding distance between C=O and NH groups remains unchanged between pi-helices and alpha-helices The torsion angles of amino acids found in pi-helices are the same as those found in alpha-helices Pi-helices have a smaller rise per residue compared to alpha- helices Pi-helices have fewer residues per turn compared to alpha-helices Pi-helices have more residues per türn compared to alpha-helices O Pi-helices are left handed

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
