Biological molecules such as proteins and DNA reveal differences between humans and chimps that would have taken around 7 million years to accumulate.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

All known animals and viruses have genetic information in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid, a polymer consisting of two polynucleotide chains that coil around one another to form a double helix. Ribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid, as is DNA.

The two DNA strands are known as polynucleotides because they are constructed from simpler monomeric units called nucleotides.

The four nucleobases that contain nitrogen—cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T)—along with deoxyribose and a phosphate group—make up each nucleotide. The sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the following make covalent bonds, creating what is known as the phospho-diester linkage, which results in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone.

3. Large molecules and wastes move<br> through the membrane through
madreJ [45]

Answer: Large molecules and wastes move through the membrane through forms of active transport- endocytosis and exocytosis.

Explanation:

Molecules are moved across the cell membrane via different mechanisms like diffusion, facilitated diffusion and passive transport; however, some very large molecules require specialized types of active transport to cross over- these are endocytosis and exocytosis.

During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of <em>invagination;</em> piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle. Different methods of endocytosis such as <em>phagocytosis, pinocytosis </em>and receptor-mediated <em>endocytosis</em>, take in cells,  water and targeted substances respectively.

Like endocytosis, the particles (signal proteins, neurotransmitters and waste material) are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane. However, in exocytosis, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and merges with the plasma membrane’s interior in a process <em>opposite to </em>endocytosis; material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.

What causes the doldrums to be calm winds?
arlik [135]

Earth revolves around the sun, keeping doldrums stationary causes the doldrums to be calm winds. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>Why are the doldrums so calm?</h3>

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, also known as the doldrums or calms by sailors due to its constant lack of wind, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It encircles the Earth near the thermal equator, however its exact location changes with the seasons.

The sunlight beams down directly on the area around the equator, the Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun. Instead of blowing horizontally, this heating causes the air to warm and climb straight up. As a result, there is little or no wind for weeks at a time.
