Answer:

This question describes a PROTEIN

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the four biological molecules in living systems. It is a biological polymer composed of monomeric units called amino acids, which are chemically joined together by peptide bonds.

An amino acid structurally consists of a central carbon atom bonded to an hydrogen atom, carboxylic acid group (-COOH), an amine group (-NH2) and a R side chain, which distinguishes one amino acid from another. Since all amino acids have a nitrogen-containing amine group, all proteins also contains nitrogen in their structure. Hence, a protein consist of an hydrocarbon (CHO) with a nitrogen atom.

Marina86 [1]
Cell replication process is also called as mitosis. In mitosis, the cell goes through 4 steps: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. This eventually produces 2 daughter cells. Cell replication in which gametes are produced is called meiosis. Meiosis also goes through 4 steps, but twice; therefore producing 4 daughter cells with half of the genetic content. Common in these two processes is the splitting of the cytoplasm to form the daughter cells which is called cytokinesis.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Explanation:

Active cellular transport:

  • It is the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient  (from low concentration to high).
  • Active transport requires expense of energy supplied by ATP.
  • It is a rapid way to transport of large sized molecules.

Passive cellular transport:

  • It is the movement of molecules along the concentration gradient (from high concentration to low).
  • Passive transport does not require expense of energy.
  • It is a slow process and small sized molecules get transprorted.
