Because these smaller cells can access and pass through the membranes of the other cell membranes and permeable coverings easily and voluntarily unlike larger cells. It is also for efficient for these smaller and miniscule cells to penetrate and travel, delivering and transporting goods and materials such as nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body without consuming enough energy and conserving lesser space.
For simple reasons, they are faster, more efficient and consumes little space, and most especially depletes lesser energy.

Humans are superior to all other animals in:
sweet [91]
Intelligence is the answer.

Humans are superior to every animal when it comes to intelligence, but there are many animals that are far more superior when it comes to speed and strength (a tiger for example) and there are animals that are far superior in sensory sensitivity as well (like a dogs sense of smell).

So your answer is intelligence.

Name two structural and two functional properties of proteins
Inga [223]
1.Proteins are linear polymers built of monomer units called amino acids. The construction of a vast array of macromolecules from a limited number of monomer building blocks is a recurring theme in biochemistry. Does protein function depend on the linear sequence of amino acids? The function of a protein is directly dependent on its threedimensional structure.<span>Remarkably, proteins spontaneously fold up into three-dimensional structures that are determined by the sequence of amino acids in the protein polymer. Thus, </span>proteins are the embodiment of the transition from the one-dimensional world of sequences to the three-dimensional world of molecules capable of diverse activities<span>.

</span>2.Proteins contain a wide range of functional groups<span>. These functional groups include alcohols, thiols, thioethers, carboxylic acids, carboxamides, and a variety of basic groups. When combined in various sequences, this array of functional groups accounts for the broad spectrum of protein function. For instance, the chemical reactivity associated with these groups is essential to the function of </span>enzymes,<span> the proteins that catalyze specific chemical reactions in biological systems</span><span>

The La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles are the site of millions of fossils from the ice age. Woolly mammoths, giant sloths, dragonf
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Scientists learn how climatic changes during the ice age affected life in this region by analyzing specimens found in these tar pits  

Explanation:

La Brea Tar Pits are a group of tar pits in Los Angeles. Many preserved remains of ancient organisms (i.e., fossils) were extracted from the tar, including, among others, Western horses, prehistoric camels, three-toed tapirs, rodent bones, insects, mollusks, wood, plants, etc. The oldest fossils have been dated to be approximately 38,000 years ago by radiometric techniques. Moreover, the Last Glacial Period was the most recent glacial period within the Quaternary glaciation, which encompassed the period between 115,000 to 10,000 years ago. This period (LGP) encompassed the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which occurred about 20,000 years ago. In consequence, many of the fossils found in La Brea Tar Pits evidence how the ice age affected life in this region. Moreover, many of the fossil species extracted from the tar are still present today, thereby indicating how these species adapted to fluctuating climatic conditions, whereas certain species couldn't adapt fast enough as the environment changed and therefore they went extinct.
