Answer:

Glutamic Acid (Glu): codons GAA, GAG

Glutamine (Gln): codons CAA, CAG.

Lysine (Lys): codons AAA, AAG, UCG

Serine (Ser): codons UCA, UCG

Leucine (Leu): codons UUG, UUA

Tyrosine (Tyr): codons UAC, UAU

Tryoptophan (Trp): codon UGG

Arginine (Arg): codons CGA, AGA

Glycine (Gly): codon GGA

Cysteine (Cys): codon UGU

Explanation:

Non sense codons are: UAA, UAG, UGA. Then following the genetic code (see attached file) a single base substitution in any of the codons indicated in the answer could generate a stop codon. This single base substitution might happen in the first, second or third base of the codon.

Match the functional groups with their structures:

The true answer of your question is :

OH : HYDROXYL GROUP

NH2 : AMINO GROUP

CH3 : METHYL GROUP ( but in rather broader terms, that functional group of formula CnH2n+1 where n is an integer is called ALKYL GROUP where by substituting n by 1,2,3... we obtain methyl for n = 1, ethyl for n = 2, and propyl for n = 3 )

COOH : CARBOXYL GROUP is the correct answer since carbonyl is characterized by the presence of functional group C=O in general the formula of the compound would be
R-C=O-R’ where R and R’ are alkyl groups like methyl for example. However the carboxyl group could be thought of as a summation of carbonyl + hydroxyl ( CO + OH ) resulting thus in COOH.

How does having less carbon dioxide available in a biodome lead to fewer energy storage molecules being made in the biodome?

nirvana33 [79]

This process moves carbon from biotic to abiotic matter. Carbon dioxide in the biodome decreased because decomposers decreased which means there was a decrease in cellular respiration overall.

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

The represented diagram shows the process of photosynthesis and how carbon dioxide and water are converted to carbohydrates and oxygen with help of light energy.

In this representation, the carbon dioxide comes from the atmosphere and transfer carbon to the cells of the plant or organism (biosphere) performing the photosynthesis in form of carbohydrates. Therefore it is a representation of the role of photosynthesis in transferring the carbon from atmosphere to the biosphere.
