Identify the characteristics of plant-like protists. Check all that apply.

Biology
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The characteristic that makes algal protists (algae) plant-like is the ability to do photosynthesis. Like plants, plant-like protists have chloroplasts that contain the pigment chlorophyll that collects and converts light into energy.

Explanation:

They are eukaryotic, which means they have a nucleus.

Most have mitochondria.

They can be parasites.

They all prefer aquatic or moist environments.

In pea plants the allele for round seeds (R) are dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds (r). The allele for yellow seeds (Y)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The correct answer is -  A. RY, rY, Ry, ry

Explanation:

Gametes are the sex cells or reproductive cells that are haploid in number. Gametes carry only one allele of each gene or chromosome in any organism. The male gamete called an egg or ovum whereas the male gamete called sperm or pollen.

In this case, the heterozygous plant has the genotype RrYy. In each of the gametes, there would one allele of each gene. The gametes get a dominant R and a dominant Y allele and a recessive r and a recessive y allele. Each produces 25% each of RY, Ry, rY, and ry.

Decide whether each statement describes saturated fat, unsaturated fat, or both saturated and unsaturated fats.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Statement 1.) Both saturated and unsaturated fats.

Statement 2.) Saturated fat

Statement 3.) Unsaturated fat

Statement 4.) Unsaturated fat

Statement 5.) Both saturated and unsaturated fats.

Statement 6.) Saturated fat.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are straight chain carbon compounds of varying lengths. It is an important component of lipid in plant and animals. All fats are known to contain nine calories per gram, therefore can add to the weight of an individual. There are two type of fatty acids which includes:

--> Saturated fatty acids: these are fatty acids that contains no double bonds making it solid at room temperature. They are usually found in animal products such as milk, cheese and meat. They are absorbed in the villi of small intestine after digestion. One of the disadvantages of consuming diet rich in saturated fat is Saturated fats might increase LDL cholesterol levels. These are the bad cholesterol which are affected by inhibiting the LDL receptor activities leading to its increase. This can lead to heart disease conditions.

--> Unsaturated fatty acids: These are fatty acids which may contain one or more double bonds making it liquid at room temperature. They are found in plant oil (omega 6) and fish oil (omega 3). When consumed, they are absorbed in the villi of small intestine and helps maintain a good balance of cholesterol in blood.

How does predation alter a population’s gene pool?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

If we consider Darwin's theory we would realize that the species which are not able to survive are unfit or weak. Thus, predators usually attack species that can be easily targeted. Hence, it this way predation leads to selective pressure on any species and hence leads to creation of a fit gene pool. The weak organisms are removed and more fit organism could mate among themselves to produce healthy offspring.  

 Hence, option C is correct

Adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are ___________________ instructions to cells.
const2013 [10]

DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific sequences of nucleotides. In order to be implemented, the instructions contained within genes must be expressed, or copied into a form that can be used by cells to produce the proteins needed to support life.

The instructions stored within DNA are read and processed by a cell in two steps: transcription and translation. Each of these steps is a separate biochemical process involving multiple molecules. During transcription, a portion of the cell's DNA serves as a template for creation of an RNA molecule. (RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is chemically similar to DNA, except for three main differences described later on in this concept page.) In some cases, the newly created RNA molecule is itself a finished product, and it serves an important function within the cell. In other cases, the RNA molecule carries messages from the DNA to other parts of the cell for processing. Most often, this information is used to manufacture proteins. The specific type of RNA that carries the information stored in DNA to other areas of the cell is called messenger RNA, or mRNA.

How does transcription proceed?

Transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA template strand and begins assembling a new chain of nucleotides to produce a complementary RNA strand. There are multiple types of types of RNA. In eukaryotes, there are multiple types of RNA polymerase which make the various types of RNA. In prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase makes all types of RNA. Generally speaking, polymerases are large enzymes that work together with a number of other specialized cell proteins. These cell proteins, called transcription factors, help determine which DNA sequences should be transcribed and precisely when the transcription process should occur.

What roles do coralline and calcareous algae play in reefs formation??
borishaifa [10]
Coralline and calcareous algae build-ups are very essential for the development of coral reefs. In addition, when these coralline and calcareous algae tends to "stick" on landforms below the ocean surface, and as these life forms grows and continuously expands, they now form what we call "reefs."
