Proteins are polymers of molecules called amino acids, some contain thousands. Lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with compounds called fatty acids, therefore they are not polymers because they contain one molecule and are not macromolecules

Because they are not made up of monomers.

The location of continents has no affect on their climate
anygoal [31]
False. Location of continents greatly affects their climate. This is directly related to its location (or distance) from the earth's equator. Parts of continents that are closer to the equator experience higher temperatures because they are physically closer to the sun. Parts of continents that are farther from the equator experience lower temperatures because they are farther from the sun. The earth's distance to the sun directly affects global climate giving us the impression of global warming and cooling. Since the earth does not spin in a perfect circle around the sun, but instead and ellipse, temperatures throughout the decades vary. Temperatures are also directly affected by the sunspot cycle, a phenomenon that occurs roughly every 11 years where the sun waxes on one side and wanes on the other (gets hotter and cooler).

Neurons may be classified according to several characteristics. Which of the following is correct? A. Group A fibers are mostly
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cell are the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Fibers are the thread like long projection of the nerve cells.

Neurons are classified into three fibers- Group A fibers, B fibers and C fibers. The group C fibers cannot capable of doing the saltatory conduction of the nerve impulse because they are unmyelinated.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

A marine ecologist counts the number of crabs in three different intertidal regions that are each two hectares. The crab counts
romanna [79]

Answer:

Density is nearly 3 cabs per hectare

Explanation:

Given -

There are three three intertidal regions.

Area of each intertidal region is 2 hectares.

Number of crab in the intertidal regions are as follows -

Intertidal region I - 7

Intertidal region I - 2

Intertidal region I - 6

Sum of crabs in all three regions is equal to

7 + 2+ 6\\= 15

Total area of all three intertidal regions is equal to

2 + 2+ 2\\= 6 hectares

Now density per hectare is equal to total population of crab divided by total area of all the three intertidal regions

Density = \frac{15}{6} \\= 2.5

Density is nearly 3 cabs per hectare

Explain how the triplet code of dna is transcribed and translated in the synthesis of proteins
timama [110]
Ok this is going to be a long answer lol


Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic code, which is a set of rules that defines how an mRNA sequence is to be translated into the 20-letter code of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.



During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-mRNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature mRNA

I hope this helps :)
