In a hypotonic solution
Explanation:
Contractile vacuoles are used mainly by protozoans like an amoeba in osmoregulation. When the organism environment becomes hypotonic to the cell's cytoplasm, the contractile vacuole pumps more rapidly. This is because, in the hypotonic environment, more water is getting into the cell by osmosis. To maintain the right osmotic pressure in the cell more water is needed to be pumped out – this is a function of the organelle.
Answer:
c. requires the action of initiation factors.
Explanation:
Transcription is the process by which a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to create a complementary RNA molecule, usually a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is then used to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) in the ribosomes by a process called translation. Initiation factors are proteins capable of binding the ribosome in order to promote (or prevent) the initiation of translation. In prokaryotic cells, the initiation factors IF1, IF2 and IF3 (IFs) are required for the selection and the quantity of the protein produced. In eukaryotic cells, translation initiation occurs when an initiator tRNA, 40S, and 60S ribosomal subunits are assembled by eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) into an 80S ribosome on the initiation codon of an mRNA. In eukaryotes, translation initiation is promoted and regulated by at least twelve eIFs (e.g., eIF1, eIF1A, eIF2, eIF3, eIF4, eIF5, eIF5A, eIF5B, etc) which are composed of many polypeptides.
The answer is C because it identified the function structure
