Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Codons represent triplets of nucleotides in DNA or mRNA that provide information for the process of protein synthesis. The first codon in mRNA transcript is known as start codon.

Start codon provides initiation signals for the ribosomes to start the process of translation, during which formation of polypeptide chain takes place.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

The answer is C. High birth rates

High birth rates or overpopulation is one of the most pressing environmental issues today. It silently is the largest contributor to environmental pollution, global warming, loss of habitat for animals as the wild is converted to cities and housing. INtensive farming practices to increase food supply also aggravates the situation. Moreover, the consumption of natural resources and the slow reaction to preserve it endangers life existence.

Why don't all thermodynamically favored reactions occur rapidly?
serg [7]

solution:

Thermodynamically favorable reaction is the products, because the reaction occurs spontaneously, without the need for energy to be added.

Because a reaction is thermodynamically favoured does not mean that it will be a fast reaction. So 'yes' they always proceed but possibly infinitesimally slowly. Temperature is the most common way of quickening a reaction. Of course a catalyst also does so but this generally by changing the way the reaction occurs, i.e. the mechanism is different using a catalyst but the product is the same. Enzymes are natures catalysts, in synthetic chemistry (and in you car exhaust) metal based compounds are often used.

All reactions have an activation energy EaEa between reactants and products and a small increase in the size of this can slow a reaction exponentially. Experimentally, the rate constant is generally found be of the form k=k0exp(−Ea/RT)k=k0exp(−Ea/RT), which is the Arrhenius equation, with R the gas constant and T the temperature in Kelvin .

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. aquaporins

Explanation:

The aquaporins can be described as integral proteins which are involved in the transportation of water. They are termed as aquaporin because each molecule of aquaporin has a pore in its centre. The adaptation of the blood cells of African lungfish depicts that the number of aquaporins decrease or increase as per the climate conditions. Hence, making the African lungfish to survive in harsh conditions.
