Answer:
False, chemical energy is not transfered or converted into cellular energy
Explanation:
Answer:
B) increased exchange surface provided by their membranes
Explanation:
Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are responsible for exchanging oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs. Alveoli have elastic fibers in order to expand and recoil depending on the volume of air breathed in. The alveolar epithelial cells (pneumocytes) may adopt a shape that serves to increase the surface area of gas exchange. On the other hand, intestinal epithelial cells have microvilli, which are microscopic projections in the plasma membrane. Microvilli serve to increase the cell's surface area, thereby facilitating the absorption of nutrients and water.
If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.
The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.
When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.
During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.
During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.

Answer:
The elements in increasing order of atomic radius: oxygen, carbon, aluminum, potassium
Explanation:
The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electron is known as the atomic radius of an element. The atomic radius decreases rightward along each period (row) of the table due to the increase in effective nuclear charge (the charge of the nucleus equal to the number of protons). Across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level and the increasing number of protons causes the nucleus to exert more pull on these electrons, which makes the atomic radius smaller. Atomic radius increases down each group (column) of the periodic table because of the addition of electrons to higher energy levels, which are further away from the nucleus and the pull of nucleus weakens. Another reason for the increase in atomic radius is the electron shielding effect, which is the reduction of the attractive force between a nucleus and its outer electrons due to the blocking effect of inner electrons
While moving from left to right in the second period, c
arbon comes before oxygen and so oxygen will have a smaller atomic radius than carbon. While moving down the periodic table, al
uminum comes before potassium even if they are not in the same period. So aluminum
's atomic radius will be smaller than that of potassium but bigger than that of carbon and oxygen.
