Answer:

Litmus paper-<em>" A tool or system to measure a substance characteristics regarding there pH. As to check whether they are acidic, basic or neutral in nature."</em>

A certain paper which is termed as litmus paper is stained with litmus, and then a certain substance which is under observation is stained over it. And then its properties are measured.

The standard provided to us shows us that pH recorded lower then 7 is acidic in nature, leveled at 7 is neutral and higher then 7 is termed as a basic substance.

Explanation:

Now, if the if the substance stained on a blue litmus paper is acidic then it turns in to red.
And if its a basic or alkaline substance then the red litmus paper is turned blue.

Which statement best describes the relationship between proteins and nucleic acids?

Iteru [2.4K]

Although the options are not provided, the statement best describing the relationship is nucleic acids provide blueprints for the construction of proteins.
Messenger RNA molecules (mRNA) take instructions from DNA molecules and take the code out of the nucleus. There, ribosomes work with the RNA molecules to produce a chain of amino acids, which in turn links and folds in a specific manner to form a protein molecule.

Describe one common role of both bacteria and fungi in the movement of energy and matter in ecosystems

Flauer [41]

Both fungi and bacteria are very important for decomposition of organic matter. Decomposition is the break down of dead or decaying organisms. This allows nutrients from all trophic levels to re-enter the soil to be used by primary producers. Fungi are more effective decomposers compared to bacteria as they can <span>use their hyphae to penetrate larger pieces of organic matter, whereas bacteria are restricted to exposed surfaces. </span>
