Proteins are large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids. They are very important to living organisms. They are also structural components for different parts of the body and systems.

Proteins are used to make enzymes, hormones and other chemicals and they build and repair tissue. Not only that but proteins can also help reduce wait and also reduce hunger.

Hope this helped

Where do the cells project through the ethmoid bone and synapse with the olfactory bulbs?
VikaD [51]
<span>The afferent nerve fibres of the olfactory receptor neurons transmit nerve signal about odours to the CNS. From the olfactory mucosa (inside the nasal cavity), the nerve travels up through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone where the fascicles enter the olfactory bulb<span>. The olfactory</span> bulb is a structure which contains specialised neurones, called mitral cells and the nerve fibres synapse with those mitral cells, forming collections known as synaptic glomeruli. From the glomeruli, second order nerves then pass into the olfactory tract which runs to the CNS (</span>primary olfactory cortex).

Is Solid waste point source pollution or non point source pollution?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Nonpoint-source pollution is the opposite of point-source pollution, with pollutants released in a wide area. As an example, picture a city street during a thunderstorm. As rainwater flows over asphalt, it washes away drops of oil that leaked from car engines, particles of tire rubber, dog waste, and trash. The runoff goes into a storm sewer and ends up in a nearby river. Runoff is a major cause of nonpoint-source pollution. It is a big problem in cities because of all the hard surfaces, including streets and roofs. The amount of pollutants washed from a single city block might be small, but when you add up the miles and miles of pavement in a big city you get a big problem.

In rural areas, runoff can wash sediment from the roads in a logged-over forest tract. It can also carry acid from abandoned mines and flush pesticides and fertilizer from farm fields. All of this pollution is likely to wind up in streams, rivers, and lakes.

Airborne pollutants are major contributors to acid rain. It forms in the atmosphere when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides combine with water. Because acid rain results from the long-range movement of those pollutants from many factories and power plants, it is considered nonpoint-source pollution.

In DNA replication, the resulting daughter molecules contain one strand of the original parental DNA and one new strand. What is
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: A) DNA replication is semiconservative. B) DNA replication is conservative. C) RNA synthesis is conservative. D) DNA replication is not conservative. The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Watson and Crick proposed the semi-conservative hypothesis (later demonstrated by Meselson and Stahl in 1957), according to which new DNA molecules formed from an old one have an old and a new strand. This replication model assumed that the double helix DNA separates its two strands and each one serves as a template to synthesize a new strand following the complementary rules of nitrogenous bases. This model was called Semiconservative, since the two newly synthesized double helices have an old strand (an old half) and a new strand (a new half).

In the early 20th century, there was significant debate about what molecules were the hereditary material in living cells. Choos
never [62]

1. Griffith in his experiment used two related strains of bacteria (Streptococcus pneumonia), known as R and S and mice, trying to develop a vaccine against pneumonia. R strain-formed nonvirulent, rough-edged colonies  

S strain- rounded and smooth colonies, with sugar protection coat, virulent

Mice that were injected with S strain developed pneumonia and died.

But, when mice were injected with heat-killed S strain it did not cause disease in mice.

The next part of experiment is the injection of combined harmless R bacteria with harmless heat-killed S bacteria. The result was that the mouse developed pnenumonia and in blood sample from the dead mouse, living S bacteria were found.

2. From his experiment, Griffith concluded that injected together, R strain and S strain bacteria most likely “communicate”. The R-strain bacteria took "transforming principle" (we know today that this is genetic material DNA) from the heat-killed S bacteria which allowed them to "transform" into virulent bacteria.
