3 0
The possible answers are:
A. Variation in length of the amino acid backbone
B. Each protein is encoded by a distinct gene
C. Variations in the type of peptide bond
D. Variations in the glycosidic linkage
E. Variation in tertiary structure
<span>F. Variations in which amino acids are used

The correct answers are A,E and F
There are only 20 amino acids that make all of the proteins in our bodies. However, there are options for protein variation are almost unlimited.
Firstly, you can vary the number of different amino acid that you use to make a protein.
Secondly, you can also vary the length of the amino acid chain.
And thirdly, when an amino acid chain is formed different parts of the chain interact with each other, bonding chemically, forming different 3-dimensional structures of the protein.
All of this contributes to the vast variation in proteins.</span>

Describe the process by which coral polyps and algae create a coral reef.
xenn [34]
Coral reefs are built by coral polyps as they secrete layers of calcium carbonate beneath their bodies.  And inside each coral poly lives single-celled algae called zooxanthellae. So basically in simplistic terms, coral polys create coral reefs and algae is in coral polys which also goes into coral reefs when they are made.

A specific example of a light year is used in space exploration
Pani-rosa [81]
Light-year or lightyear (symbol: ly) is a unit of measurement of length, specifically the distance light travels in a vacuum in one year.

While there is no authoritative decision on which year is used, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) recommends the Julian year.

A light-year is equal to 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (about 9.461 Pm; 5,878,625,373,183.61 statute miles; about 63,240 astronomical units or about 0.3066 parsecs.

The exact length of the light-year depends on the length of the reference year used in the calculation, and there is no wide consensus on the reference to be used.

The figures above are based on a reference year of exactly 365.25 days (each of exactly 86,400 SI seconds).

A few examples of distances for light to travel are: Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface takes 1.3 seconds to travel the 4.04 × 10-8 light years to Earth.

It takes 8.3 minutes for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth (a distance of 1.58 × 10-5 light-years).

The most distant space probe, Voyager 1, was 13 light hours (only 1.5 × 10-3 light years) away from Earth in September 2004.

It took Voyager 27 years to cover that distance.

The nearest known star (other than the Sun), Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away.

The center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 26,000 light years away.
