Answer:

X represents nitrogen base pairs- adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is a molecule that carries genetic information for growth, functioning, development, and reproduction. It is composed of nucleotides that contain a phosphate group, a sugar group, and nitrogen bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine).

Nucleotides are linked together to form two long strands that coiled spirally to create a structure called a double helix. Just think of the double helix as a ladder. The phosphate and sugar groups would be the two sides of the ladder, while the nitrogen bases would be the rungs of the ladder. The bases adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine.

Thus, the correct answer would be base pairs.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Option E.

In order for oxygen in the inspired air to reach hemoglobin, it must diffuse across all of the following structures, except: one or two smooth muscle cells.

Explanation:

In the process of oxygen reaching hemoglobin it gets diffused across layer of surfactant, an endothelial cell, type I pneumocyte, and the plasma membrane of the erythrocyte.

The molecule that is responsible for the carrying of oxygen into the blood cells is protein hemoglobin.

The normal adult human's blood is the mixture of six different species of hemoglobin molecules. These all molecules consist of same function as well as structure.

Which is one of the five characteristics of life?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

One characteristic of life is that living things have different levels of organization -They have both molecular and cellular organization - They must have the ability to organize simple substances into complex ones. - They organize cells at several types of levels, namely: (a) Tissue- a group of cells that perform a common function (b) Organ - A group of tissues that perform a common function. (c) Organ system- a group of organs that perform a common function. (d) Organism- any complete living thing.

In what way do the membranes of a eukaryotic cell vary?

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The Answer is Letter E.

Explanation:

<em>The way membranes of a eukaryotic cell vary is certain proteins are unique to each membrane. </em>

The eukaryotic cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus, and in addition, some cells of plants and algae contain chloroplasts. Unlike unicellular archaea and bacteria, eukaryotes may also be multicellular and include organisms consisting of many cell types forming different kinds of tissue.

Growth hormone and insulin are protein hormones that regulate carbohydrate metabolism by hepatocytes (liver cells) through the a

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The data from the experiment support the claim that the similar regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by hepatocytes occurs when the cells are treated with growth hormone or insulin results from the activation of different signaling pathways

Explanation:

If we take a look on the graph, it shows increase in the phosphorylated protein when the growth hormone or insulin is applied to the cells with the passage of time. At 15 minutes , it reaches to its highest level but after 15 minutes of addition of growth hormone and insulin, the level of phosphorylated protein decrease when the time exceeds from 15 minutes to 240 minutes. So it is concluded that growth hormones or insulin increase the level of phosphorylated protein.

A pesticide that kills an insect by interfering with

Oxana [17]

Answer;

Ribosomes;

Explanation;

Ribosomes are organelles that are found inside a cell attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or freely suspended in the cytoplasm.

The are responsible for the process of translation which synthesis proteins in the cell.

Therefore; a pesticide that kills an insect by interfering with

the production of proteins in the insect would

most directly affect the activity of ribosomes.
