Answer:

D. Biotechnology

Explanation:

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms in technological applications. It involves using technological practices and principles in manipulating living organisms in order to produce beneficial products.

One aspect of biotechnology is genetic engineering or genetic modification which entails changing the genetic content of an organism to suit desirable effects. Hence, researchers trying to replace damaged genes that cause inherited diseases or to genetically engineer bacteria are studying BIOTECHNOLOGY.

What term is used to describe 100’s or 1000’s of amino acids chemically combined?
hjlf

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

What is the role of phospholipids and proteins in controlling the passage of substances across the cell surface membrane, making
Anastaziya [24]
Phospholipids are the substance/structure that is the building block of the cell membrane. Without phospholipids, we wouldn't even have a cell membrane and wouldn't really have any way how to shield and guard or control th epassage of substances across the cell surface. The cell membrane is at the same time partially permeable; this means it will let certain ions that can be found in the intra and extracellular fluid in and out, while others will be kept from moving so freely.
