Some scientists have proposed that the earliest forms of life may have existed in an "RNA World" where RNA was both the genetic

material and responsible for enzymatic activity. Imagine that you have recreated such a life form. What would demonstrate that RNA, but not protein or DNA, is necessary and sufficient for these functions?

Answer:

Plant cells deal with osmosis by being enclosed in a cell wall.

Animal cells use active transport systems to deal with the problem of osmosis.

Fresh water protists have contractile vacuoles to deal with osmosis.

Many bacteria have cell wall to protect them from osmosis.

Explanation:

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall. If a plant cell is places in a place where the conditions are hypotonic, then the cell will tale up water by osmosis but the cell wall will prevent it from bursting. This condition is termed as the cell being 'turgid'.

As animal cells do not have the rigid cell wall, they use the mechanism of active transport system to stop the cell from bursting during osmosis. In this process, ions are moved out of the cell so that the pressure in the cell due to osmosis can be reduced.

Fresh water protists have a structure present in them called as the contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole has the capability to remove any excess water from the cell as well storing water if there is not enough water.

Bacteria have peptidoglycan cell walls to prevent osmosis.

Ø A large taxa, includes insects and a small group of wingless arthropods.

Ø Body plan: 3 parts, head, thorax and abdomen.

Ø Head with six segments.

"Dietitians often recommend that we frequently consume foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. An omega-3 fatty acid is one that h
9966 [12]

An omega-3 fatty acid is one that has its first double bond at the <u>methyl </u>end of the molecule.

Explanation:

Fatty acids will have a methyl end and a carboxylic acid end and the long carbon chain.

The number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms depends upon its saturation type – saturated or unsaturated fatty acid.

The main advantage of the unsaturated fatty acids is that they have fewer hydrogen atoms because they are replaced with a double bond between the carbon atoms.

There are both short chain (carbon atoms 18 or less) or long chain (more than 20) fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Depending upon the carbon chain length, the first C=C double bond occurs between the third and fourth carbon atom from its methyl end on the carbon chain of the omega-3 fatty acid.

Omega-3 fatty acids are recommended by dieticians due to its immense health benefits especially for the heart since it reduces blood triglyceride level, blood pressure, plaque formation, and the risk factors for heart attacks or failure. These are also good for the eyes, to treat mental depression, and for fetal brain development during pregnancy.

lisov135 [29]
The bony landmark that <span>can be felt and seen, and is commonly used to help determine where to give an intramuscular injection on the lateral surface of the thigh is called <u>the greater trochanter.
</u>
<u />The illiac crest is found on the pelvis, the lateral epicondyle is in the arm, and the remaining options are too small to be felt and seen. So the correct answer has to be the greater trochanter found on the femur, or the thigh bone.<u>
