Answer:

A. The shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.

Explanation:

Proteins are organism compounds that participate in countless biological processes in living organisms, in addition to being able to generate tissues and organs essential for the survival of a living being (however, the protein is not responsible for the storage of genetic information).

Proteins are made up of amino acids, and in order for their function to be performed, they need to assume a specific shape through a folded structure. That is, the shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.

The correct answer is option A- The shape and folded structure of a protein molecule are important in determining its function.

Justification: Let's take an example of sickle cell anemia in which the structure of hemoglobin changes due to a change in one amino acid. A small change in amino acid will change the bonds which will affect the structure and folding of the protein. A single change of amino acid can results in the change of protein’s function and structure.

list 5 animals that live in the desert. Write a paragraph telling me how they can survive in this particular biome. What feature
NARA [144]

5 desert animals are camel, sand cat, desert tortoises, desert lizards and the great road runner.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Camel has several physiological and behavioral adaptations that help them survive the extreme conditions of the desert. They have flat feet to help them spread their weight in the sand.
  • They have thick eyelashes and closeable nostrils to prevent the entry of sand. They store fat on their humps that supplies energy during long journeys and has a long large intestine which increases water reabsorption.
  • Sand cat is similar to the domestic cat in basic appearance but has several adaptations enabling it to survive in the desert. Their paws are covered with thick and long hairs to protect the feet from the heat. They have thick fur that acts as an insulting surface during hot days and cold nights.  
  • Desert tortoises have excellent water storage capacity. Their bladders are larger than normal and can carry extra water. They have strong feet which helps them to dig holes in the sand and access rainwater.
  • Desert lizards can drink water through skin. They do it by a process called cutaneous water acquisition and it helps them to gather water obtained from rainfall, damp sand and pools.
  • Great roadrunner has peculiar adaptations. The digestive system of the bird retrieves water from the feces as it is in the excretory canal.

<h3>What is extinction of species?</h3>

Extinction of species refers to the event in which species of organisms are entirely wiped from existence either by man-made causes, natural disasters or disease.

The recent industrial age and many technological advancements by man has resulted in rapid extinction of species .

Estimates of current rates of extinction indicate that rates may be greater than extinction rates seen in the fossil records.
