<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Correct answer is... C. Protists are a catch-all group for eukaryotes that aren't plants, fungi, or animals.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let's break it down!

~~~

A. Protists are all heterotrophic.

The given statement in answer choice A. is (partially correct) FALSE.

The following statement is TRUE... The protist is classified as either autotrophs or heterotrophs.

~~~

B. Protists can't live in freshwater.

The given statement in answer choice B. is also FALSE.

TRUE... Nearly all protists exist in some type of aquatic environment, including freshwater.

~~~

C. Protists are a catch-all group for eukaryotes that aren't plants, fungi, or animals.

The given statement in answer choice C. is CORRECT!

TRUE... As the catchall term for eukaryotic organisms that are not animals, plants, fungi, or any single phylogenetically related group, it is not surprising that few characteristics are common to all protists.

~~~

D. Protists are all parasitic.

The given statement in answer choice D. is (partially correct) FALSE.

TRUE... Many protists are pathogenic parasites that must infect other organisms to survive and propagate.

~~~

Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.

3. Does your skate park playground ramp design support the law of conservation of energy? Use

nlexa [21]

Skate park is a good example that maintains the law of conservation as skater neither creates nor destroys energy.

Explanation:

As per the law of energy conservation, energy cannot be created nor can be destroyed but it’s form can definitely be changed. This theory can be well justified by the example of skate park playground. According to the rules of this law a skater can never go high more than 2 meters on the ramp’s other side because it has that gravitational energy potential.

With every drop of the skater on the ramp the potential energy of the skater changes into kinetic energy. This two sides of the law justifies the fact that skate playground should be designed in such a way that it supports the law of conservation of energy.

List the proteins/enzymes involved in the process of replication

ELEN [110]

Replication is the process where DNA molecules copies itself to form another DNA molecule during cell division. it involves several enzymes which includes DNA helicase, the enzyme that unwounds the DNA double helix. RNA primase, it is an enzyme that creates an RNA primer. DNA polymerase, it is the enzyme that matches and lays down nucleotides to form the new DNA daughter. DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments by catalysing the formation of phosphodiester bond.

Suppose that in humans the ability to roll the tongue (R) is dominant to being unable to roll it (r), and having freckles (F) is

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

A heterozygous woman for both traits (RrFf) marries with a man with no freckles (ff) who can't roll his tongue (rr).

The cross is: RrFf X rrff.

The woman can produce the gametes RF, Rf, rF and rf

The man can only produce rf gametes.

The possible offspring that can arise from the combination of those gametes is:

1/4 RrFf Freckled, tongue-rolling
1/4 Rrff Freckled, unable to roll tongue
1/4 rrFf Not freckled, tongue-rolling
1/4 rrff Not freckled, unable to roll tongue
