Carbon is the atom, which is necessarily find in the living organism.

All the living organisms are made up of biomolecules. All the biomolecules are organic compounds. The substance cannot be consider as living, if it lacks nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), both have a structure made up of carbon rings and chains.

Other than nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones etc are also made up of carbon. So, all the living cells, or dead remain of organism must have carbon atom.

Hence, the correct answer is option D. carbon.

What a vestigial structure? How does it support evolution?
atroni [7]
A vestigial structure is a structure that kind-of just "hangs out" in our bodies. We don't really need it, yet it is there. So, why is it there??? We probably needed it, for example, when we needed to digest plants. (Appendix) Some say that the appendix was used for digesting plants and berries, but it is really just speculation. We "evolved" to not need the appendix. 
Here are some other vestigial examples: wisdom teeth, tail bone, pelvic bone in a snake, and wings on a flightless bird. 
I hope this helped, if it did not let me know!!
I hope you have a fantastical day!!!XD

Describe the function of the proteins embedded in the cell membrane
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein deeply embedded in the bilayer are called integral membrane proteins. Most of this integral membrane proteins span the whole bilayer and they are called Transmembrane protein.

Because many molecules and ions can not pass through the hydrophobic core of the cell membrane they need a carrier mediated transport to go in and out of the cell. Transmembrane protein serves as channels, receptors (hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitter), tissue specific antigens, ion channels, membrane based enzymes etc that moves in and out of the cell.
