Enhancers work by serving as binding sites for transcription factors--proteins that regulate transcription.<span> Enhancers lead to the production of regulatory proteins. The proteins bind to regulatory sites of DNA, triggering transcription of cell-specific proteins.</span>

Why would it be hard to find the CO2 level if the light intensity were very low? HELP!!!!

drek231 [11]

If CO2 was in very small amounts then it would be the limiting factor of photosynthesis, this means the process will take place at a much slower rate because it is lacking one of the raw materials it needs for the process to occur. To find the optimum light intensity you really need all other factors to be at optimum levels or in abundance.

How can dna help scientists make the classification of similar organisms such as giant pandas and red pandas more accurate

Two cells have the same volume and similar shape, but one has microvilli extending from its cell membrane while the other does n

Naily [24]

be slower at absorbing nutrients than the other cell

Explanation:

The cell without the microvilli will be expected to have as slower absorption rate of nutrient than the other cell.

Microvilli are finger-like projections from the surface of the cell.
The structure has a large surface area to volume ratio which allows for nutrient to be absorbed easily.
These structures are very important during the absorption of digested food in cells.

Cells without this structure will not absorb food faster.
