What environmental stimulus is most likely to result in a more rapid heartbeat in an animal?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A) Decreased temperature

B) Strong southerly winds

C) Presence of a predator

D) Lack of water

The answer is C

Explanation:

A stimulus is something that provokes a response or reaction in a living organism. It can either be internal or external. An animal can respond to stimulus such as hunger, heat, predator etc.

However, among all the listed stimuli in the options, the PRESENCE OF A PREDATOR is most likely to result in a more rapid heartbeat in an animal. This is because the predator stimulus will require the animal to respond by running in order to survive. Running will increase its metabolic activity and cause its heartbeat to increase.

Which organelle is the location of protein synthesis? (4 points)
raketka [301]

Answer:

Ribosome

Explanation:

Ribosomes are mainly made up of ribosomal RNA and ribosomal proteins. Each has two subunits (30S and 60S or prokaryotes) and 40S and 60S in eukaryotes. The smaller unit usually reads the mRNA -with the message from the nucleus -on how to ‘manufacture’ the proteins. The larger subunit actually does the translation by bringing in t_RNAs that carry specific amino acids and then forming peptide bonds between amino acids and ultimately forming polypeptide chains.
