Answer: C) Prokaryotes convert nitrogen-containing molecules into forms that can't be used by other organisms.

Prokaryotes are the organisms that do not have a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria and other organelle. They ranges in size of diameter from 0.1–5.0 µm.

Example: Escherichia coli, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius archeobacterium

Decomposers, play an important role in nitrogen cycle. Nitrogen gas is converted to nitrate compound by nitrogen fixing bacteria which are present in root nodules of leguminous plants.

Example: Azotobacter

Distinguish between major classes of biomolecules, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids?

olasank [31]

Answer:

Proteins (polymers of amino acids)

Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars)

Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers)

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA; polymers of nucleotides)

Explanation:

Proteins:

Chemical formula is CHON

−NH2 + −COOH +R group

Monomer is Amino acids.

Examples are enzymes, and some hormones.

Uses are Storage; Signals; Structural; Contractile; Defensive; Enzyme; Transport; Receptors.

Lipids:

Chemical formula is C:H:O

Greater than 2:1 H:O (carboxyl group)

Monomer is fatty acid and glycerol.

Examples are butter, oil, cholesterol, beeswax.

Functions are energy storage; Protection; Chemical messengers; Repel water.

Carbohydrates:

Chemical formula is C:H:O

1:2:1

Monomer is monosaccharides.

Examples are Glucose, Fructose, Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose.

Uses are energy storage; structure.

Nucleic Acids:

Chemical formula is CHONP

(pentose, nitrogenous base, phosphate ).

Monomer is nucleotides.

Examples are DNA, RNA.

Uses are Genetic information

icang [17]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the chart referred to in the question. However, what appears to be the case is that the three nitrogenous bases represent codons (and the missing chart is the codon chart). The mutation that has the potential to cause more damage will be the one that would change the amino acid formed from the codon change.

A. CAU to CAC: The codons CAU and CAC both form the amino acid histidine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

B. UGU to UGC: The codons UGU and UGC both form the amino acid cysteine and thus is not expected to cause a major damage.

C. UCU to UUU: Codon UCU forms the amino acid serine while the codon UUU forms the amino acid phenylalanine. Thus, this eventual change in the amino acid formed has the potential to cause a major damage and thus option C is the correct option.

NOTE that a codon is a sequence of three DNA/RNA nucleotides that corresponds to a single amino acid.
