Answer: a) Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I

Explanation:

The set of reactions of converting ammonia to urea for its elimination makes up what we call the urea cycle. This cycle occurs in liver cells and, in simplified form, consists of 5 steps. In the first step we have the carbamoyl phosphate synthesis. Urea synthesis begins in the mitochondrial matrix by condensing carbon dioxide (CO2) with ammonia (NH3), the primary source of nitrogen, using ATP to form the compound called carbamoyl phosphate. This process is performed with the help of the enzyme Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I, the regulated and committing step to urea synthesis.

In the 2nd stage: carbamoyl phosphate plus ornithine form citrulline, in the 3rd stage: citrulline plus aspartate form arginosuccinate, 4th reaction: breakage of arginine succinate forms arginine and fumarate and Step 5: Breaking arginine releases urea and regenerates ornithine

How can flowers help other organisms? What type of relationship is it?

mr Goodwill [35]

Well, flowers give insects like bees and butterflies nectar. That's their food. In return, the insects spread the flower's pollen so that other plants like its type can be fertilized.

This is mutualism - a symbiotic relationship were two organisms benefit.

Happy to help!

Viruses are non-cellular infectious agents. the genetic information of a virus is surrounded by a protective coat made up of man

arlik [135]

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea
While not inside an infected cell or in the process of infecting a cell, viruses exist in the form of independent particles. These viral particles, also known as virions, consist of two or three parts: (i) the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; (ii) a protein coat, called the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material; and in some cases (iii) an envelope of lipids that surrounds the protein coat when they are outside a cell. The shapes of these virus particles range from simple helical and icosahedral forms for some virus species to more complex structures for others. Most virus species have virions that are too small to be seen with an optical microscope. The average virion is about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium.
