I believe the answer is minerals.
Minerals are inorganic substances that the body cannot manufacture but that act as catalysts, regulating many vital body processes. Nutrients are substances in food that the body needs to function properly to grow, repair, and supply it with energy. These includes, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals.

<h3>Minerals are a necessary nutrient for carrying out metabolic functions in the body. Many minerals are an important component of protein-based enzymes which helps to speed up the digestive processes and many more functions. It also keeps in check the functions of animal organs, muscle, and tissue.</h3>

What is prophase, meta phase and anaphase labled under?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Technically Mitosis and Meiosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is the spliting of <em>Body Cells.</em> Mitosis goes through 4 phases that are easy to remember as PMAT. Mitosis starts with Interphase then moves to Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase. These steps also occur in Meiosis. However Meiosis goes through these step twice. If you need further explaination of mitosis and meiosis I recomend the amoeba sisters.

Explain how environmental agents such as chemicals and radiation cause cancer.

Paul [167]

Chemical (mutagens) usually either mimic the structure of nucleotides and are inserted in DNA or either cause chemical changes (such as alkylation) in nucleotides hence causing mismatching during replication. Radiation, on the other hand, (due to its high energy) causes double-strand breaks in DNA causing an increased likelihood of mutations during the repair of the DNA by cell mechanisms.
