Answer:

d. Nucleotides link together to form a nucleic acid. Amino acids link together to form a protein.

Explanation:

A nucleotide is a bio-molecule which has a sugar phosphate backbone in which a sugar (deoxyribose / ribose sugar) and a phosphate group is attached to each other alternately through phosphodiester bond and a nitrogenous base is attached to the sugar molecule with the help of N- Glycosidic bond.

In case of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), nucleotides are the monomer units and when these monomeric units join each other to form a chain of nucleotides they are able to create these polymers known as nucleic acids.

Proteins on the other hand are another class of bio-molecules which are the polymers of monomeric units known as amino acids. In proteins, various amino acids are attached to each other with the help of peptide bond.

Hormone is controlled by a
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Hormones are controlled by a

(negative)

feedback system between the glands that produce this hormone and the  concentration of blood calcium ions. If the level of ions is

(low)

,hormone secretion is increased. This causes  resorption by  cells called

which releases both calcium and phosphate ions into the blood stream.​

Explanation:

Negative Feedback a the process in your body that helps to maintain Homeostasis. If some variable changes a value in your body, like your ion levels,  your glands produce a hormone that causes resorption by  cells. This releases both calcium and phosphate ions into the blood stream and therefore your ion levels go back to normal.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

One distinguishing feature of animal cells compared to other living cells is the absence of cell wall.

However, the animal cell possess a cell membrane, with which it regulates substances entering or leaving the cell, and also provide protection and mechanical support for the cell against foreign invaders such as pathogens.
