The advantage of excreting nitrogenous wastes as urea instead of ammonia is that:________ a) urea requires more water for excret

ion than ammonia b) urea is less toxic than ammonia c) urea can be exchanged for Na+ d) urea requires less energy to produce than ammonia

Answer: B

Explanation:

Ammonia is so toxic that it can be transported and excreted only in large volumes of very dilute solution. As a result most terrestrial animals simply don't have access to sufficient water to routine excrete ammonia.

The main advantage of urea is its very low toxicity. Animals can transport urea in the circulatory system and store it safely in high concentrations. Also much less water is loss when a given quantity of nitrogen is excreted in a concentrated solution of urea than would be in a dilute solution of ammonia.

RNA primers in Okazaki fragments are usually very short, less than 10 nucleotides and sometimes as short at 2 nucleotides in len
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

During DNA replication each parental DNA strand serves as a template to a new complementary strand. DNA polymerase is the main enzyme responsible for this process, it catalyzes the addition of nucleotides to form the new DNA chain.  

The complementary nature of the DNA strands, presents a difficulty for DNA replication: DNA polymerase catalyzes the polymerization of DNA only in the 5’ to3’ -in the leading DNA strand. Thus, the opposite DNA strand, the lagging strand, faced an obstacle that is solved by the Okazaki small fragments. The primase enzyme synthesizes small RNA fragments complementary to the lagging DNA strand. These RNA fragments serve as primers for the DNA polymerase. To remove this RNA primers and form a continuous complementary lagging strand, RNase H and DNAse ligase will further cut and join the DNA again.  

DNA polymerase has a higher processivity than primase, if processivity is the average number of nucleotides that it is capable to continuously add to the template strand. Primase dissociates from the template often during DNA replication as it has to constantly add new RNA primers to the strand.

The domain that includes organisms with true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is called *
Hunter-Best [27]
Eukarya. Eukaryotes are the only organisms that have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, though some bacteria have a pseudo-nuclei.
The reason why only eukaryotes have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is because only eukaryotes have figured out how to create so much energy through the mitochondria, which is required for high compartmentalization.

With ideal environmental factors, the reproduction rate of bacteria is...
Artist 52 [7]

With ideal environmental factors, bacteria are able to reproduce at a very rapid pace.

<h3>Bacterial reproduction</h3>

Bacteria reproduce mainly by a single cell dividing into two, given the right condition. In order words, they reproduced by binary fission.

When environmental conditions are optimum, a typical bacterial cell can divide every 4 to 20 minutes depending on the species.

The time can become longer with sub-optimal environmental conditions.
