The chemical stockroom also contains a solution labeled unknown. This solution contains a 0.10M solution of a "synthetic base".

Synthetic bases are designed and used by biologists to manipulate DNA. Which base, A, C, T or G, is this unknown synthetic base most like, in terms of its binding characteristics?

Answer:

AT indicates A and T bound together, AC indicates A and C bound together, etc.

Explanation:

In the '30s and '40s, biologists knew that the agent for heredity was in thread-like chromosomes, made of the molecule DNA. They also knew that DNA was made of four bases, (A)denine, (G)uanine, (C)ytosine, and (T)hymine. The race was on to be first to determine how they fit together, and how they carried hereditary information.

DNA

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick unraveled the mystery, by showing that DNA had the double-helix structure shown to the left. The information is stored as the sequence of bases: G, C, A, and T, on the strand of DNA running up one side of the double helix. On the opposing strand, the sequence is mirrored such that a C is paired with every G, and an A is paired with every T. This pairing is essential to the ability of DNA to replicate and to send its information out into the cell to direct protein synthesis.

You will be provided with stock solutions of all four bases. These are labeled dAMP for A, dCMP for C, dGMP for G, and dTMP for T to reflect the fact that these bases are only soluble as single bases in their d-MonoPhosphate form. Each of these solutions has a concentration of 0.10M. In the following, feel free to combine these solutions in any way you see fit. Note that the "Solution Info" window shows the concentrations of all chemical species in the currently-selected container. In this window, AT indicates A and T bound together, AC indicates A and C bound together, etc.

Living things need energy<br> Your essay need to include;<br> producer<br> consumer<br> decomposer
aev [14]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>∴ ║ Living Things Need Energy ║∴</h3>

The ability to obtain and use energy is one of the eight characteristics of all living things.  Scientists classify organisms based on how they get their energy: autotrophs or heterotrophs.  Organisms are divided into three main groups- the producers, the consumers and the decomposers.  

Producers get their energy from abiotic factors (non-living sources).  Most producers are plants and get their energy directly from the sun using a process called photosynthesis.  There are also some bacteria that can make their own food from chemicals using a process call chemosynthesis.  Examples of common producers are grasses, trees and flowers.  Algae (which are protists, not plants) are the main producers in aquatic ecosystems. Remember we call these autotrophs because they can make their own food.  

Consumers cannot make their own food.  Instead, they get their energy by eating other organisms.  These are also called heterotrophs.  There are many types of consumers.  Herbivores, such as grasshoppers and prairie dogs, only eat producers.  Carnivores eat animals.  Coyotes, badgers, and falcons are all carnivores.  Organisms that eat both producers and other consumers are known as omnivores.  Most humans are omnivores.  Scavengers are a special type of omnivore.  They eat dead plants and animals.  Vultures and many insects are common scavengers.  

Decomposers are a very special type of heterotroph because they get energy by breaking down dead or dying organisms.  Bacteria and fungi (mushrooms, molds and mildews) are examples of decomposers.  Decomposers are important to ecosystems because they return important nutrients such as water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen to the soil.  Plants then use these nutrients to grow, creating a cycle of nutrients through the ecosystem.        

Each of these organisms depends on the others.  Producers get energy from the sun or chemicals and then give some of this energy to consumers.  The consumers then give some of their energy to the decomposers.  Together, these organisms form a food chain.  A food chain is a series of events in which food energy is transferred from one organism to another.   All food chains have the basic structure of producer  ⇒ primary consumer  ⇒ secondary consumer ⇒ tertiary consumer  ⇒ decomposer.  There are many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.  These overlapping food chains are known as a food web.  

As energy passes from level to the level in a food chain within a food web, the amount that each organism receives decreases.  For example, in a grassland ecosystem, the grasses get energy needed for life from the sun.  Some of this energy is used by the grass to grow and reproduce.  When a prairie dog eats the grass, it only gets 10% of the energy the grass originally had.  The prairie dog then uses some of the energy from the grass to grow and reproduce.  When a coyote eats the prairie dog, it only gets 10% of the energy the prairie dog originally had.  This decrease in energy at each level of the food chain can be represented by an energy pyramid.

As you climb to higher elevations, describe the changes that occur in your circulatory and respiratory systems to increase the a
viva [34]

as you climb higher in the atmosphere, there are three things that happen to your body, one is the circulatory affect, when there is hardly any oxygen in the blood, your body will start to react to this change in supply and either shut down, ((your lungs will give out, and you will pass out because of the lack of O2 in the brain)) or you will become Carbon-drunk. ((your cells will began to literally explode or shrink because of the fact there is no way to filter out your cells of the used up oxygen))

the second thing is with respiratory, your breathing will slow down and it will become hard to breath. its true that oxygen is lighter than carbon-dioxide, but oxygen is heavier then nitrogen and helium. Your body will start to feel heavier than normal and you will become weak. you will start to feel light-headed and eventually pass out if this feeling is new to you. 


Third is the carbon affect, your body will end up dying because of it "reusing" carbon cells, and you will end up going into a coma because of the brain damage from no oxygen and too much carbon
