Answer:

directing the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.

Explanation:

The nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. Instructions on DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA. Ribosomes are able to read the genetic information inscribed on a strand of messenger RNA and use this information to string amino acids together into a protein thus directing the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may be defined as the the phase of the sleep that are unique to the mammals. This sleep is marked by the muscle tone.

The REM leads to the increase in pressure with deprivation. This leads to the increase in the rapid eye movement and plays an important role in the REM sleep and dreaming of the individual and quite necessary in the adult.
