What role does nitrogen play in living organisms

1. Proteins are made up partly of Nitrogen. Without Proteins, your cells will lack enough nourishment to repair itself or to build new tissues.
2. Nitric Oxide is made up of Nitrogen. Without Nitric Oxide, your cells will have difficulty communicating with each other. 
3. Urea is made up of Nitrogen. Without Urea, you cannot remove damaged and used proteins from your body - and this causes the formation of toxins. 
4. Enzymes are partly made up of Nitrogen. Without Enzymes, simple acts, such as food metabolism, would take 200 years to complete. 
5. Plants require Nitrogen. When plants don't have nitrogen, they fail and this disrupts the food chain.

Which best describes the purpose of connective tissue?

garik1379 [7]

The correct answer is that its primary function is to connect, support and anchor various parts of the body. It can either connect bones, or it can connect muscles. It also ensures that they don't move in an unexpected manner and that your bones don't randomly fall out of sockets. It's very useful and you couldn't move without it.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans

Charra [1.4K]

The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy.

More Explainable: The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy.

Describe the genetic mutations that you think occurred in the cancer cells that were responsible for the phenotypic differences

ruslelena [56]

ANSWER:

Most types of cancer are believed to begin with a random genetic mutation. This is followed by mutations, which endow the cancer cells with properties allowing them to grow without normal controls to become a tumor.

Mutation is any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Mutations may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.

Genetic Mutations that lead to cancer cell formation can occur in two forms:

1. GROWTH-PROMOTING GENES are commonly mutated in cancer cells, becoming SUPER-ACTIVE and producing cells that are too strongly stimulated by growth receptors.

2. Mutations can INACTIVATE the genes that suppress cell proliferation or those that signal the need for apoptosis. These genes are known as TUMOR SUPPRESSOR GENES.
