how do the components of sugar molecules combine to form proteins and other larger carbon-based molecules

Well I want to first point out sugars molecules DO NOT form amino acids. In addition, a sugar by definition is a 6 carbon ring. All molecules form bonds primarily based the valance electrons of each atom or molecule, and to a lesser degree electronegativity. Valance electrons refer to the number of electrons in the outer shell of a neutral atom. All atoms want to have 8 electrons around them, this is referred to as the octet rule. Therefore the total number of bonds an atom can for is 8-the # valance electrons. For example Oxygen has 6 valance electrons and can form 2bonds. This is the basics. Atoms are able to move and share electrons to form more bonds, or double and triple bonds.

Answer:

Explanation:

The passage states that leaves have a lot of organs made up of cells while describing plant leaves' organs.

It's not B, because the statement is false.

It's not C because C was focused on only palisade and guard cells leaving the rest of the passage behind

Answer:

e. Red segregated from brown in meiosis I, and straight segregated from curled in meiosis I.

Explanation:

A cross between two flies heterozygous for both genes produced an offspring with the phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is expected according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of the same gene assort independently during gamete formation.

Before meiosis starts in flies, a single diploid cell duplicates its DNA, so each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids that contain the same information.

During meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes separate into two daughter cells. The chromosome number is reduced by half, but each chromosome has two sister chromatids.
During meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate and each daughter cell from meiosis I divides into two new daughter cells (to get the total of 4 haploid cells).

In a heterozygous fly, each homologous chromosome contains a different allele, and the sister chromatids are copies that carry the same allele. For that reason, both traits were segregated during meiosis I.

Carbohydrates provide structural support, in the form of cellulose in cell walls, for plants in addition to providing energy for the organism
Proteins are essential for muscle tissue's growth and development as well as, in the form of hormones and hormonal regulation, maintaining an organism's homeostasis.
Lipids make up the bilayer of cell membranes, and also aid hormonal signaling.
Nucleic acids store genetic information, and allow for ribosomal protein synthesis.

Which are the most dominant chemolithotrophs in pelagic waters?

Tomtit [17]

The most dominant chemolithotrophs in pelagic waters are ammonia-oxidizing archaea. The first step in nitrification is performed by ammonia oxidising microorganisms that convert ammonia into nitrite ions. Science has known about nitrifying bacteria for over a hundred years now thanks to the discovery of S. Winogradsky.
