Answer:
They show us that creatures before us, more feral, had lived and went extinct. And it also shows us the progression of fossils. (Evolution)
Explanation:
Scientists conclude the data of fossils, like the Jurassic age. Tyrannosaurus rexes were massive, carnivorous creatures. As scientists look at this data and go through the fossil records to show how we have evolved into modern people today.
Explain how available energy changes at each trophic level. What happens to the energy that is lost?
Answer:
Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels

2. Direct cut pathway
3. Cut and paste pathway
4. Replicative pathway
Transcription pathway
A. Involves removing a segment of DNA and placing it in a new location; the number of TE is not increased.
B. Involves the copying of DNA.
C. Involves the translation of proteins.
D. N/A E. Involves an RNA intermediate and the reverse transcriptase enzyme
Answer:
1. Retrotransposon pathway: E. Involves an RNA intermediate and the reverse transcriptase enzyme
3. Cut and paste pathway: A. Involves removing a segment of DNA and placing it in a new location; the number of TE is not increased.
5. Transcription pathway: B. Involves the copying of DNA.
4. Replicative pathway: C. Involves the translation of proteins.
2. Direct cut pathway: D. N/A
Explanation:
Class I transposable elements (also known as retrotransposons) are genetic mobile elements that copy and paste into other loci by reverse transcription and integration of the cDNA into new genomic regions
Class II transposable elements (also known as DNA transposons), can move by two different mechanisms of transposition:: 1-cut-and-paste pathway: the DNA transposon leaves one locus and integrates into another genomic site. and 2-replicative pathway: the DNA transposon remains in one locus while new copies of its sequence are mobile. The replicative pathway requires a transposase enzyme that acts as a catalyst of transposition.

3. Plants have properties that make them practical source of foods. Which
property make them good source of foods?
A, resistance
B, mechanical C. chemical
D. physical
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The property of plants that makes them a good source of food is the chemical property.
Plant lock-up energy in them in the form of carbohydrate which is derived from the process of photosynthesis. The energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy and when plant-consuming organisms feed on them, the chemical is broken down and the energy is released for the metabolic activities of the body.
These two processes can be expressed as equations:
1. [tex]6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_6[/tex]
2. [tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_6 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy[/tex]
The correct option here is C.
Consider the denaturation equilibrium between native Ribonuclease A and unfolded protein. Ribonuclease A is a 124 amino acid protein with four disulfide bridges. To test the importance of one of the disulfide bridges in protein stability, residues Cys58 and Cys110 were mutated into Ala. The protein denaturation parameters for Ribonuclease A wild-type and mutant are shown below. All values are in kJ/mol.
wt: ΔH: 297.2
TΔS: 254.6
ΔG: 42.4
mutant: ΔH: 184
TΔS: 183.2
ΔG: 0.8
Mark the following statement as True or False: Denaturation is spontaneous for both enzymes.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
We know from thermodynamics that;
When ∆G is positive the process is not spontaneous
When ∆G is negative the process is spontaneous
When ∆G is zero, the system has attained equilibrium.
In both cases, ∆G is positive hence the denaturation of both enzymes is not spontaneous, hence the answer above.
Which of the following performs the phosphorus cycle A) Autotrophs C) Carnivore B)Heterotrophs D) Herbivore
Answer:
The autotrophs are the ones that perform the phosphorus cycle.
Explanation:
A is correct because the autotrophs are the organisms that are able to consume the inorganic phosphates, use them, and release parts of them in the other spheres, thus contributing to the phosphorus cycle.
B is not correct because the heterotrophs are not organisms that can process inorganic matter and produce their own food, instead, they are dependent on the autotrophs to do that.
C is not correct because the carnivores are not able to consume and process inorganic phosphates, with their food sources being based around the primary and secondary consumers.
D is not correct because the herbivores use the producers (autotrophs) as their food source, and they are not able to process inorganic phosphates on their own.
Name a protein structure
Answer: Types; Examples : Transport (Hemoglobin, albumin )
Structural, (Actin, tubulin, keratin ), and Hormones, (Insulin and thyroxine).
Explanation: Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. Proteins are polymers – specifically polypeptides – formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue indicating a repeating unit of a polymer.
There are seven types of proteins: antibodies, contractile proteins, enzymes, hormonal proteins, structural proteins, storage proteins, and transport proteins.
It is convenient to describe protein structure in terms of 4 different aspects of covalent structure and folding patterns. The different levels of protein structure are known as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids that make up a polypeptide chain.

Which of the following are functions (jobs) of the cell membrane?
Answer:
Biological membranes have three primary functions: (1) they keep toxic substances out of the cell; (2) they contain receptors and channels that allow specific molecules, such as ions, nutrients, wastes, and metabolic products, that mediate cellular and extracellular activities to pass between organelles and between the cell and the outside environment; and (3) they separate vital but incompatible metabolic processes conducted within organelles.
In 1918, the tsar (king) and tsarina (queen) of Russia and their five children were presumably assassinated and buried in an unmarked grave. Later, several women came forward and claimed that they were in fact Anastasia, one of the daughters whose bones had not been found. More recently, forensic scientists have extracted DNA, including mtDNA, from the skeletal remains of the tsar (father), tsarina (mother), and children. Which of the following samples of mtDNA would NOT be helpful in confirming that a woman is Anastasia?
a. the tsar and tsarina and living relatives of each of them.
b. each of the claimants or their living children.
c. the tsar, tsarina, and the other assassinated children.
d. the tsar and tsarina only.
e. the tsarina and the claimants.
The correct answer is B. Each of the claimants or their living children.
Explanation:
One of the basic principles in genetics establishes genes are passed from the parents to their offspring. Indeed, children receive 50% of genes from each parent. This implies the daughter of the tsar and tsarina will have share part of the DNA including mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) of her mother, father, and siblings.
According to this, to prove if someone is Anastasia or not, it is possible to use the mtDNA sample from the tsar, tsarina, or death children but not from the claimants. This is because the claimants are not confirmed relatives of the tsar or the tsarina, and therefore their DNA cannot be used to determine if a woman is the daughter of the tsar and tsarina. Indeed, a woman claiming to be Anastasia can share DNA with another claimant and this does not prove they are related to the tsar and tsarina or that the woman is the real Anastasia.
What a the difference between microfilaments and microtubules?

A specific ligand is polar in nature. Where is the ligand-binding portion of the receptor most likely to be located?
Answer:
on the extracellular side of the cell membrane
Explanation:
Ligands can be defined as signaling molecules that interact with receptors localized on target cells. Protein ligands are generally polar and soluble in water. In consequence, they tend to bind with extracellular domain receptors localized on the cell surface, on the outside surface of the cell. Some examples of protein ligands include, among others, hormones (e.g., insulin), growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc.

Why do stem cells have the potential to
cure many human diseases?
Describe what happens when an enzyme is placed in
environments that have different pH levels or
temperatures than its regular environment.
Answer:
If your just looking for the "why" then this is what i do know about it.
Explanation:
Changes in pH cause amino acids' component atoms and molecules to ionize. This can make an enzyme change shape. These shapes determine function, so changing the shape can impair the enzyme's function, preventing it from speeding up chemical reactions.
Higher temperatures disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce its activity, or prevent it from working. The enzyme will have been denatured . Enzymes therefore work best at a particular temperature.

Which terms correctly identify the indicated structures in this sketch of a cell viewed under a microscope?
Drag and drop a term to match each label.
Answer:
A: The right answer is Vacuole
Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells. It is a large single structure, of variable shape according to the cells, delimited by a lipid membrane called tonoplast.
The vacuoles allow the storage of water, ions, sugars, ... and by magnifying, play an important role in the growth of the plant.
B: The right answer is Mitochondria
Mitochondria are organelles present in eukaryoptic cells. The mitochondrion is composed of a double membrane, the inner membrane being folded into mitochondrial ridges.
Mitochondria are the organelles that produce the energy of the cell. The mitochondria thus have a role of power station for the cell. They are the ones who perform cellular respiration.
C: The right answer is Cell membrane (the inside layer)
All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) are separated from their environment by a palsmic membrane.
The plasma membrane is the line of demarcation between the cell and its environment (= envelope of the cell).
It determines what goes into the cell and what comes out of it. Like all biological membranes, the plasma membrane has a selective permeability, that is to say it is allowed to pass through certain substances more easily than others.
The plasma membrane consists of a double lipid layer in which proteins are inserted.
D: The right answer is Chloroplast
Chloroplasts are important organelles specific to plant cells. Chloroplasts appear green ... They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures solar energy.
Choroplasts perform photosynthesis, that is, they absorb sunlight and use it for the manufacture (synthesis) of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.
E: The right answer is Lysosome
The lysosome is a small spherical structure (a vesicle) delimited by a lipid membrane located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The membrane contains ion channels (proton pumps) that allow the active entry of H + ions, in order to maintain an acid pH (between 3.5 and 5) within the lysosomal vesicle.
Lysosomes are organelles of eukaryotic cells that contain a mixture of digestive enzymes used to degrade macromolecules.
Lysosomes are considered the "stomach" of the cell.
F: The right answer is Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum are organelles of eukaryotes that extend throughout the cytoplasm (like a labyrinth). These are organelles that produce proteins and play a vital role in the development of the other membranes of the cell.
