Transport substances throughout the organism
Answer:
Explanation:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has two chains of nucleotides that form a double helix that resembles a twisty ladder. The nucleotides are:
- Adenine (A)
- Guanine (G)
- Cytosine (C)
- Thymine (T)
RNA (ribonucleic acid) is different. It only has one chain of nucleotides. The bases are also different:
- Adenine
- Guanine
- Cytosine
- <u>Uracil (U) </u>
We see that RNA has a different base! It contains uracil instead of thymine. The correct answer must be A. uracil
Lactose intolerance is an impaired ability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Lactose is normally broken down by an enzyme called lactase, which is produced by cells in the lining of the small intestine.
Congenital lactase deficiency, also called congenital alactasia, is a disorder in which infants are unable to break down lactose in breast milk or formula. This form of lactose intolerance results in severe diarrhea. If affected infants are not given a lactose-free infant formula, they may develop severe dehydration and weight loss. Lactose intolerance in adulthood is caused by reduced production of lactase after infancy (lactase nonpersistence). If individuals with lactose intolerance consume lactose-containing dairy products, they may experience abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, nausea, and diarrhea beginning 30 minutes to 2 hours later. Most people with lactase nonpersistence retain some lactase activity and can include varying amounts of lactose in their diets without experiencing symptoms. Often, affected individuals have difficulty digesting fresh milk but can eat certain dairy products such as cheese or yogurt without discomfort. These foods are made using fermentation processes that break down much of the lactose in milk. Hope this helped :)
