<u>Answer: </u>

<h2>Lipids </h2>

<u> Explanation: </u>

Lipids are the macro-molecules used to store energy in our body. They have the ability to store energy more efficiently and are called long-term energy storage.

They can store twice as much energy as other molecules. They contain nine Kcal of energy per gram a compared to proteins and carbohydrates which only produce four kcal per gram. They are present in our body in the form of fat and are insoluble in water.

Answer:

The independent variable in the experiment is A. the jar covers.

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment represents the thing that the person conducting the experiment changes or alters. One group in the experiment had covers (this represents the experimental group) and the other group had no cover (this represents the control group which was not exposed to the independent variable). Since the only thing that Redi changed between the two groups was whether or not the jars were covered, this represents the independent variable.

The number of jars and the contents of the jars were constant in both experiments, and the number of maggots on the meat is the dependent variable (the result of changing the independent variable).

Hope this helps!

Several organisms have a homologous protein (inherited from a common ancestor) that is highly similar at the amino acid level. Y

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.

Explanation:

Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.

Why will salivary amylase not break down protein

Free_Kalibri [48]

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that is found in saliva in the mouth. It is an enzyme that only recognizes the glycosidic bonds between molecules of simple sugars that form the carbohydrate polymers. It specifically targets these bonds and breaks them and does not recognize any other bonds of different substances such as protein. Salivary amylase is alkaline in nature and cannot work in the stomach. It breaks the glycosidic bonds between the glucose molecules in starch to form maltose. Maltose is later broken down further by pancreatic amylase, into individual units of glucose.
