Answer:

1. Biological structure of the human body

The human body is organized in different levels according to their complexity.

The levels are the folowing (increasing complexity).

1. Atom (N, O, C,..)

2. Molecule (Protein, lipids, water...)

3. Organelle (mitochondria, golgi apparatus,...)

4. Cell (blood cells, bone cell,..)

5. Tissue (connective tissue, epithelial tissue,..)

6. Organ (lungs, kidney,..)

7. Organ system (skeletal system, muscuar system,...)

8. Organism (the human body)

Each of the levels is formed by an agrupation of the previous level. For example, cells are formed by a number of organelles, and a group of cells form a tissue.

Cells are the basic units of structure of the body, and there are different types of them.

2. Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a process of the body by which the organism works to maintain a stable internal environment, while adjusting to changes in the external environment.

This process is possible because of the work of both the nervous system and the endocrine system. While the first controles the body's activities and detects the necesity of adjustments, the second regulates the activities by using hormones.

How are proteins and nucleic acids related?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The functions of nucleic acids have to do with the storage and expression of genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins. A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that participate in protein synthesis.

Please quick answer without explanation ​
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The answer is b. Both of them are characterized by selective permeability.

Explanation:

  • Option a. states that both, the nuclear and the cell membrane have two layers. This is only true for the nuclear membrane that consists of two lipid bilayers whereas the plasma membrane only contains one layer.
  • c. Only the nuclear membrane has nuclear pores that connect the two bilayers. The pores act as protein channels or passages that allow transport of materials. The cell membrane does contain channel proteins or transmembrane proteins but not protein channels.
  • d. The nuclear membrane separates nuclear contents from the cytoplasm whereas the cell membrane separates cellular contents from the extracellular environment.

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form
