Answer:

A Macromolecule is a polymer produced by living organisms composed of linked monomers.

Explanation:

Polymer, composed of the large molecule is known as macro-molecule. Macromolecules are large molecules, such as cellulose, protein, nucleic acid, commonly made by the polymerization of multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers. They are made up of thousands of atoms or more.

Protein and nucleic acid both are used to make tissues and other components in the living organisms.

Would a skeletal muscle fiber still have striations if it lacked thin filaments? Explain.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The answer is NO.

Explanation:

The striations that are caused in the skeletal muscle fibers exist due to the overlapping of the thick filaments with the thin filaments. Hence, if thins filaments would not be present in the myofibrils of a skeletal muscle fiber, then striations would not be caused.

The same goes for thick filaments. If there would be no thick filaments in the myofibrils of the skeletal muscle fiber, then no striations will be caused.

Imagine you are a red blood cell sitting in the right atria of the heart. Write a paragraph that describes what happens to this

12345 [234]

Answer:

Blood requires to be oxygenated and for that reason to avoid the mixing of the two forms or types of blood with different properties and characteristics. As, the blood inside the human body is either in the oxygenated form or it is in the deoxygenated form, while the whole characterizing of the blood medium is based upon the presence of the oxygen,O₂ and carbon dioxide,CO₂ inside it.
While, the lungs are there for the oxygenation of the blood inside the human body, which is comprised of the small air sacs or alveolar bodies for the oxygenation of the blood supplied to it by the pulmonary artery from the right auricle.
As, the blood supplied from all over the body is transported back to the heart through the superior and inferior venacava pouring the deoxygenated form of blood in to the heart.
As the blood remains there for less then a second and goes into the right ventricle carrying it to the pair of lungs through the pulmonary artery.
Inside the lungs the alveoli treats the material present inside the blood medium, which is processed through the process of respiration and oxygen is added to it while the carbon is removed and extracted from the body of the human being.
As, the purified form of blood is sent back to the heart via the pulmonary artery, which pours the blood back into the left auricle.

4. Which of the following statements best describes how proteins and enzymes move within a cell?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The movement of proteins and enzymes within a cell is facilitated by intracellular receptors.

Explanation:

Proteins and enzymes (which also are proteins) move inside the cell through intracellular receptors. These receptors are proteins capable of binding other molecules such as proteins and hormones in order to transport them to different cellular locations. Thus, intracellular receptors are key players in signaling pathways that trigger signaling events to regulate a particular function, for example, activating gene expression by transporting proteins to the nucleus.
