The RNA world hypothesis states that the earlier life-forms had relied only on RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) for the purpose of catalyzing the chemical reactions, and storing the genetic information. This hypothesis was proposed by Leslie Orgel, Carl Woese, and Francis Crick.
This hypothesis states that long before the living forms evolved to use DNA as the genetic storage material, the RNA molecules served the purpose of both storing the genetic information and carrying out catalysis, but because of its instability, DNA evolved.
Hence, the answer is RNA world hypothesis.
Answer: a hypothesis.
A hypothesis means a theory or a guessed explanation made, based on limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
Answer:
At heart, all life on Earth uses a membrane that separates the organism from its environment. ... In this regard, water is essential simply because it's a liquid at Earth-like temperatures. Because it flows, water provides an efficient way to transfer substances from a cell to the cell's environment.
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. chemical energy -> kinetic energy
B. kinetic energy -> solar energy
C. solar energy -> chemical energy
D. kinetic energy -> nuclear energy
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
All living organisms need energy to carry out certain processes in their body. This energy is obtained in form of ATP (chemical energy) when their food molecules is broken down via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.
This chemical energy (ATP) is needed to perform cellular processes in the body. According to this question, a chipmunk (animal) will utilize the energy it derives (ATP) from breaking down plant sugars to carry out its cell processes. This means that it will transform CHEMICAL ENERGY → KINETIC ENERGY.
Note that, kinetic energy is the energy due to motion in the Chipmunk.
The nutrient that is responsible for causing most accidental deaths in children is iron.
