Steroids
are complex structure four connected rings of carbon atoms. They are cholesterol which is in all body cells and used to synthesize other steroids:sex hormones, such as estrogen, and testosterone and several hormones from the adrenal glands.

Waxes
are comprised of an ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. Many plants have leaves and fruits with wax coatings to help prevent water loss.

Phospholipids
consist of Glycerol portion and fatty acid chains. Only two fatty acids chains; in place of the third is portion that include a phosphate group. THe phosphate portion is soluble in water [hydrophobic] forms the ''head'' of the molecule, while the fatty acids portion is insoluble in water [hydrophobic] and forms a ''tail''.

Fats
to store energy for cellular activities. Carbohydrates fat molecules are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

It may seem that the question is incomplete. The complete question reads:

Match each statement to the type of behavior it describes. Jenna published the results of her latest experiment for the public to see. Malcolm altered an experiment to be able reach his desired conclusion. Elena keeps complete records of all her experiment results. Neal shared the results of his field study even though they didn’t support his hypothesis. <em>Put each description to the group it belongs to. 1.Responsible 2.Irresponsible.</em>

<em>To answer the question:</em>

<em>Responsible behavior</em>

  • <em>Jenna published the results of her latest experiment for the public to see.</em>
  • <em>Elena keeps complete records of all her experiment results.</em>
  • <em>Neal shared the results of his field study even though they didn't support his hypothesis.</em>

<em>Irresponsible behavior</em>

  • <em>Malcolm altered an experiment to be able to reach his desired conclusion</em>

Responsible behaviors are those that support responsible scientific practices and do not jeopardize the objective nature of research. Every data during experiments must be well kept and after thorough analysis, results must be published fro the public to see irrespective of whether it agrees or disagrees with the original hypothesis.

Altering an experiment in order to achieve the desired result is grossly irresponsible, as this eliminates the objectivity that should be the main goal of every experiment. Bias must be eliminated from every scientific experiment.

Which of the following is NOT a mechanism used to temporally regulate the activity of maturation-promoting factor (MPF)?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

C. glycosylation

Explanation:

The maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle checkpoint that stimulates the passage from G2 (prophase) to M phase (metaphase). MPF also determines that DNA replication during the S (synthesis) phase did not produce any mutations. MPF is inactivated by kinase phosphorylation and activated by specific phosphatases capable of dephosphorylating this protein. On the other hand, glycosylation is a posttranslational modification where a carbohydrate (i.e., a glycan) is added to a functional group of another molecule. Many proteins undergo glycosylation, thereby playing a critical role in regulating protein function.
