Answer:

Because they could bring many benefits to medicine and provide relief to many sick people.

Explanation:

Medicinal plants have been used for a long time by our ancestors and are known to have an important role in the cure and treatment of some diseases. In some communities, these plants symbolize the only way of treating certain pathologies. It is estimated that approximately 80% of the planet's population has already used some vegetable to relieve symptoms of some disease.

However, there are medicinal plants that are unknown to science, which concerns not only scientists, but also health professionals in general. This is because these plants would provide the advance of medical sciences in a cheap and fast way, besides being able to help many sick people. However, none of this will happen if these plants remain unknown.

The reasoning behind this is because these unidentified plants could be used to cure diseases, used for food, and many scientists may even use these plants to create cosmetics. I really hope this helps and I just thought this off the top of my head so its may not be 100% accurate but its the basics of it.

Answer:

The correct answer of these choices is, "Your body wouldn't fight off the infection as quickly/efficiently as it could."

Explanation:

This is because, when you get sick the reason you get a fever is because your body is working overtime to kill off your illness, and the more work your body does the more heat it gives off. So, if you were sick and you didn't have a fever, then it means your body isn't in that overtime mode to kill off the illness, and thus not working as quickly and efficently as it could.

how is it possible mohave thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids

TEA [102]

Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.

<span>In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.</span>
