Answer - 
RNA - Stands for (ribonucleic acid)

The difference between RNA and DNA is difference in sugar and the make up of the back bone. For example in DNA it has deoxyribose (hint) why its called deoxyribonucleic which is one less O2 then ribose.
In addition they have different back bones in which are in
DNA its adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine.
RNA its adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil. 

Can make a big difference trust me with those compounds.

Energy is stored in the body primarily as __________ in the muscles and liver and as ___________ in subcutaneous body fat.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: Energy is stored in the body primarily as GLYCOGEN in the muscles and liver and as TRIGLYCERIDE in subcutaneous body fat.

Explanation:

We take in food for the purpose of ENERGY, building of worn out tissues of the body and to boost the body immunity. After the intake of food, amino acids from dietary protein are used to synthesize body proteins and other molecules, carbohydrate is used to maintain blood glucose and to build glycogen stores, fat is used for energy or stored in the body.

The body must have a steady supply of energy with some of it coming from the metabolism of glucose.

GLYCOGEN formation occurs when there is excess blood glucose level in the process called glycogenesis. It is the suitable way glucose can be stored as it is insoluble and can not disturb the osmotic pressure of the cells. When food is restricted over time, glycogen stores are expended, and the body must rely on the breakdown of stored GLYCOGEN to be converted to glucose for energy production.

Also, energy for tissues that don't require glucose can come from the breakdown of triglycerides in the adipose tissue. TRIGLYCERIDES are formed by the liver when excess calories are taken, and are stored in the adipose tissues.

Glycolysis occurs in almost all organisms on earth. From this we might conclude that __________. Glycolysis occurs in almost all
Hunter-Best [27]

Glycolysis evolved very early in ancestors that are common to all the domains of life.

This is because the site of glycolysis is cytoplasm which is present in both prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes.

As prokaryotes are the early ancestors of all domains of life therefore it is also considered that glycolysis is evolved very early.

If saffron made by yeast is a success and becomes available commercially in the u.s. as vanilla made from yeast is expected to,
Misha Larkins [42]

 Vanilla, saffron, patchouli. For centuries, spices and flavorings like these have come from exotic plants growing in remote places like the jungles of Mexico or the terraced hillsides of Madagascar. Some were highly prized along ancient trading routes like the Silk Road.

Now a powerful form of genetic engineering could revolutionize the production of some of the most sought-after flavors and fragrances. Rather than being extracted from plants, they are being made by genetically modified yeast or other micro-organisms cultured in huge industrial vats.

Please please help! I'm really behind.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

If the oil spilled in the gulf would have been processed oil, it would be worse than a normal oil spill as these oils have a higher shelf life.

Explanation:

Oil spills happen when a large quantity of oil gets mixed with large water bodies like <em>sea and oceans</em>. The oil being denser than water floats on the surface and does not mix with the water. It forms a coating on top of the water.

The difference between processed oil and normal oil is that they are heated at very <u>high temperatures</u> and this results in oxidation which creates <em>free radicals</em>, which are not good for the body and its cells. Also they have a very long shelf life due to which they will remain on water for a long time.

When oil spills happen, the <em>wind</em> cause the spill to spread over the water surface, thereby engulfing a large amount of area. The major disadvantages of the spill are:-

  • The oil gets stuck in the feathers of the birds who come by to dip themselves,
  • Animals like whale, dolphins have blow holes for releasing water. the oil covers these holes and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
  • The fur of animals like <u>seal and otter </u>gets mixed with the oil and can prove harmful to them as it gets them exposed to cold.
  • The overall BOD of the water body decreases, and organisms which use sun rays coming inside the ocean suffer as these get blocked.
  • Since processed oil has longer shelf life, a large quantity of animals will suffer and die.
