The answer is A. antioxidants. Antioxidants is the defense system of the body, it is also the involved prevention of the damage of the cell; examples are aging, common reason of cancer and also different kinds of diseases. There’s always a need to have antioxidants because our body needs protection for the damage by the oxidation may cause.

The pattern of transcription for a pair of identical twins (Tweedledee and Tweedledum) is very similar at the age of 10. However
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

My best bet is DNA methylation at the site of Tweedledum's leptin gene or Histone Acetylation at the site of Tweedledee's gene.

B/c DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When located in a gene promoter, DNA methylation typically acts to repress gene transcription. So this is probably repressing Tweedledum's leptin gene trancription which is not happening in Tweedledee.

Additionally, Histone Acetylation at site of Tweedledee's gene increases her trancription b/c Histone acetylation causes DNA to be more accessible and leads to more transcription factors being able to reach the DNA. Thus, acetylation of histones is known to increase the expression of genes through transcription activation.

Give three instantaneous scale (time) examples of Earth's systems, two long-term scale (time) examples of Earth's sytems, and th
Goshia [24]

The Earth comprises many spheres of subsystems, which associate with each other to develop a composite and spontaneously changing system of the Earth. The processes taking place in the system of the Earth occurs on spatial scales changing from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales, which varies from milliseconds to billions of years.  

The examples of instantaneous scales are a rotation of the Earth, breathing, an earthquake.  

The examples of long-term scales are making coal and plate tectonics.  

The system of the Earth is featured by various overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled again and again. The cycles involve interactions between multiple spheres and systems. The examples of cycles are rock cycle, day and night, and seasons.  

Volcanoes discharge a huge concentration of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles function as nuclei for the development of droplets of water (hydrosphere). The rainfall, that is, hydrosphere usually upsurges after an eruption, initiating growth of the plant (biosphere). Thus, volcanoes and volcanic activities are a good illustration of system interactions.

Proteins act as what in cells to control reactions
Damm [24]

The answer is; catalyst

These proteins are called enzymes. They work by lowering the activation energy of reactants and hence speed up the biochemical reaction. They are not affected in the process hence one enzyme molecule can catalyze many reactions. An example of such an enzyme is carbonic anhydrase that enables carbon dioxide to dissolve in blood plasma as carbonic acid.

Peppered moths come in two colors, black and white. What did Kettlewell show, with regard to peppered moth populations and tree
Arlecino [84]
Pollution caused the environment to become more darkly colored, so moths were selected to be blacks and greys.  Before pollution they were white and lighter colors.  <span />
