The biosphere is as important as life itself because it is all of life. Without the biosphere, the Earth would be a lifeless planet such as Mars or Venus.

Life is fragile. Because the biosphere is made up of all life, it too is fragile. Humans can have a huge impact on the biosphere, in both good and bad ways. The growth of the human population on Earth means there is less room for other species. Because of this, many types of plants and animals have been partially or completely wiped out. The biosphere is important to people because we can have such a profound impact on it.

I believe the biosphere is fragile, because over time all of the pollution us humans have made; If its from air pulloution, acid rain or even water pollution. the toxic acids over time have made the biosphere and the ozon layer weaker and more thin. which causes the biosphere to become weaker.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene?a) a base substi
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.

Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.

Which of the following is NOT a part of an ATP molecule? Select one: a. adenine b. ribose c. chlorophyll d. phosphate
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

C (Chlorophyll)

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy carrying molecule in all living cells. It is the usable form of energy by cells. Organisms are able to carry out cellular functions using the energy carried by ATP molecules. ATP like other molecules is made up of components that make up its chemical structure.

ATP is composed of three structural components; A five-carbon sugar called RIBOSE at the core of its structure, attached to a nitrogenous base called Adenine and phosphate group (three in ATP). The energy in ATP is released when it loses its phosphate component.

Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the Chloroplast of plant cells. It is another molecule that is made up of its own components e.g nitrogen, magnesium etc.
