Answer:

Lichens that colonize bare rock secrete acids that break down the rock and start the soil-production process. Also, as lichens die, they provide some organic matter that also contributes to soil. Mosses can then colonize the thin soil; as mosses die, the soil thickens more allowing other hardy species to colonize

This is a molecule of glucose, a simple carbohydrate. If this molecule were broken down, would it provide all of the elements ne

Bingel [31]

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

As in the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.

As we know that Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON).

Biomolecules contain elements like carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Among these carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen are found in all biomolecules. Hydrolysis reactions use water to breakdown polymers into monomers, Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.

What conditions cause the contractile vacuole to fill with water?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: Under these conditions, water osmosis causes water to accumulate in the cell from the external environment. The contractile vacuole acts as part of a protective mechanism that prevents the cell from absorbing too much water and possibly lysing (rupturing) through excessive internal pressure.

You have identified a previously unknown human gene that appears to have a role in autism. It is similar enough in DNA sequence

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Amino acid sequences

Explanation:

The proteins perform the vast majority of functions in the cells. If a gene between a human and a mouse is evolutionarily related, it means that the function they do in the cell is quite similar in both species. This is the reason why the amino acid sequence would be the most similar.

In addition, there might be certain mutations in the DNA and therefore in the RNA between this 2 sequences that encode to the same amino acid sequence. More specifically speaking, there are more than one codon that encode to the same aminoacid. Thus, 2 different DNA/RNA sequence can give the same aminoacid sequence.
