Which macromolecule provides the blueprint for living things, by storing and transmitting genetic information?

1 answer:

6 0

The nucleic acids (specifically DNA and RNA) are the macromolecule that provides the blueprint for living things by storing and transmitting genetic information.

This is because the genetic information in our bodies is stored in our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) undergoes the processes of transcription (where it is transformed into mRNA) and translation (where the mRNA is translated into a polypeptide or protein). These two processes allow the information encoded in our genes to be expressed throughout our bodies through the usage of another macromolecule, the proteins.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following best describes the Lianas vine?

raketka [301]

The answer is; C

It is a woody plant with a flexible stem that can grow extremely long. Its stem cannot stand vertically on its own hence uses other trees for support and climbs up the canopy for good sunlight. They are common plants in rainforests and play a significant role in the ecosystems. They provide support for weaker trees from strong winds and provide bridges for arboreal animals such as monkeys.

Where are objective and ocular lenses found on a microscope

antoniya [11.8K]

Microscope slide holder. When you observe samples under a light microscope, they will usually be mounted on a glass slide. The slide holder is used to secure your slide in place so you will not inadvertently change its position.The paired knobs below the stage on the right-hand side move the slide holder either forward and back or left and right. These allow you to precisely control the position of the sample on the stageThe scales on the slide holder can be used to determine the position of an object on the slide. Thus, you can find an object, note its location, move to a new position and then later return to the mapped object. The condenser. Below the stage is the condenser which is used to focus light on the sample. On the left side of the condenser is a knob that can be used to move the condenser up or down. In the up position, intense light is focused on the sample while in a lower position the light is less intense and more diffuse. As a general guide, you will usually want the condenser relatively high for looking at stained samples while a lower position may be preferable for increasing the contrast of unstained materials. The condenser also has an iris diaphragm which can be open or closed to control the light on the sample. The diaphragm opening is altered by moving the lever located at the front of the condenser.

The correct answer is the last equation: 30*2 + 2Al —> 2AlO*3

There are 6 oxygen molecules
and two aluminum molecules (Al)

In the right side of the equation, distribute the 2 to the Al and O*3 and there should equal the 6oxygen and 2 aluminum
