The answer is C. Organic. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amine and carboxyl functional groups along with a side chain ( the R group) which is specific to each amino acids. They are the building blocks of proteins; many amino acid molecules are joined by peptide bonds to form proteins,The proteins play a crucial role in almost all biological processes, a large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissues are made up of amino acids.

VARVARA [1.3K]

The right answer is A.

Insecticides are active substances or phytosanitary preparations with the property of killing insects, their larvae and / or their eggs. They are part of the family of pesticides, themselves included in the family of biocides, both of which are regulated in Europe by specific directives.

Some pestiids such as organoclorides are broad-spectrum, ie they act on several insects at the same time (whether they are good or bad).

All the following statements about destruction of cyclins are true EXCEPT: ubiquitin targets Cdks. destruction is carried out by
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

ubiquitin targets CDKs

Explanation:

Cyclins are named such because they undergo a constant cycle of synthesis and degradation during cell division. When cyclins are synthesized, they act as an activating protein and bind to Cdks forming a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then acts as a signal to the cell to pass to the next cell cycle phase.

Cyclins drive the events of the cell cycle by partnering with a family of enzymes called the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). A lone Cdk is inactive, but the binding of a cyclin activates it, making it a functional enzyme and allowing it to modify target proteins.

BartSMP [9]

The development of adaptive traits is a result of natural selection, one of the main mechanisms underlying evolutionary change.

Understanding natural selection is also becoming more and more important in real-world settings, such as resource management, agriculture, and medicine. Even among people with postsecondary physical education, studies show that natural selection is generally very poorly understood.

Nitrates are made by converting ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-) and then to nitrate (NO3-). What do you predict the O2 levels in
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Low - The generation of nitrates (NO 3-) requires oxygen, so the oxygen levels will be low

Explanation:

Nitrates are formed when the ammonia react with oxygen present in water. The oxygen which react with ammonia is not the oxygen of water molecule, it is the dissolved oxygen. This oxygen is used by aquatic animals for breathing. If nitrates are formed so the concentration of dissolved oxygen will be lowered which causes suffocation and bad impact on marine organisms and the whole ecosystem will be disturbed.
