It's not alive, nor is it even an organic compound.

- It cannot respond to stimuli (Responsiveness)
- It cannot secrete hormones (Secretion) 
- It cannot send messages along a nervous system or anything similar (Conductivity) 
- It cannot break down compounds to usable energy forms (Digestion) 
- It cannot absorb broken down compounds as an energy source (Absorption) 
- It cannot reproduce (Reproduction) 
- It cannot grow--it has no cells (Growth) 
- It cannot exchange gases between cells (Respiration) 
- It cannot rid itself of waste material (Excretion)

2. What process do mRNA and tRNA work together to complete? (3 points)
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

This process occurs in the ribosomes. As the ribosome reads the codons on the mRNA the corresponding tRNA with the complementary anticodon is recruited. The tRNA brings in an amino acid (attached to it), and the amino acid is joined to the rest of the growing  polypeptide chain. Each codon/anticodon specifies for a specific amino acid.

Gas exchange involves the transport of two respiratory gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Match each statement into the appropria
ryzh [129]

Answer:

a. both oxygen and carbon dioxide

b. carbon dioxide only

c. carbon dioxide only

d. oxygen only

e. carbon dioxide only

f. oxygen only

g. oxygen only

h. oxygen only

Explanation:

This question is describing the gaseous exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen that occurs during cellular respiration. The gaseous exchange occurs via a structure called ALVEOLI OR AIR SAC.

According to this question, the following statements in the question will be matched with whether it applies to oxygen only, carbon dioxide only, or both oxygen and carbon dioxide:

a. Both oxygen and carbon dioxide are diffused through the alveoli capillaries.

b. Carbon dioxide is the waste product of cellular respiration (excreted via the lungs).

c. Carbon dioxide have the ability to form carbonates (CO3²-) and are sometimes transported in that form.

d. Oxygen from the lungs diffuse into the alveoli during inhalation.

e. Carbon dioxide from the body tissues are carried by the blood into the alveoli in order to be transported out of the body.

f. Inhalation is the taking in of air (oxygen-containing). Hence, oxygen only enters alveoli during inhalation.

g. Oxygen is the necessary substance needed by cells in order to perform cellular respiration (aerobic).

h. Haemoglobin is an iron-based protein present in the blood cells. It possess affinity for oxygen and carries oxygen in the blood.

If the number of hydrogen ions being pumped into the thylakoid is rapidly decreasing, what is most likely happening?
frozen [14]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. If the number of hydrogen ions being pumped into the thylakoid is rapidly decreasing, then less sunlight is being used by photosystem II. Hope this answers the question.
