Carbonate groups contain a single carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms in a trigonal molecular geometry. The carbon atom has two single bonds to two oxygen atoms and a double bond to the third oxygen atom. Therefore, in addition to carbon, carbonate minerals contain oxygen. An example of a carbonate mineral is calcium carbonate, often found within rocks.
The right answer is C. I think, a. and d. are obviously not serious. B is not true, because Ag and Au are in the same group in the periodic table and therefore have the same number of electrons in the last level. So, they form ions with the same charge. C is true beacause Ag and Au have different numbers in the periodic table and different amount of protons and neutrons in their nucleuses.
Answer:
miR-223 inhibits the expression of the fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene, and thereby ESCs cells maintain their undifferentiated state
.
Explanation:
Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) are molecules that regulate gene expression, thereby playing important biological functions in cell differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, etc. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of ncRNAs capable of controlling gene expression patterns by regulating mRNA stability and by suppressing their translation into proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs function by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs (Pillai et al. 2005).

Cellular respiration is the process by which the body breaks down sugar like glucose, to release ATP, which is an energy storing molecule. This is how the body gets energy from food.
False, they are inexhaustible. If we were to use the resource as much as possible, it would exhaust and not be able to be used again.
