The central element for all living things is carbon, which is why you might often hear the phrase "carbon-based" lifeforms. Another term is often "organic matter"

explain how a mutation is an individuals DNA occurs, and describe the effect it may have on the individuals trait. I need help o
Mazyrski [523]
Mutations are spontaneous and occur at random however there are some mutagenic agents which increase the chance of this happening such as radiation exposure. If it is a point shift mutation then only a few bases on the dna sequence are changed so only changes a few of the amino acids in that chain (such as inversion of a base). If its a frame shift then the base sequence is altered so much so that every amino acid from after that changes (such as deletion of a base) which can create things such as cri-du-chat syndrome which results from a piece of chromosome 5 is missing. Hope this helps:)

Sweat acts as a cooling agent on the body because of water high heat of vaporization or high specific heat capacity?
STatiana [176]

Explanation:

Large amounts of heat are needed to evaporate water, because H-bonds need to be broken. Sweating is an example of using water as d coolant. As the sweat evaporates it pulls heat away from the body. Application 'Water's thermal properties, its high specific heat, means that it can cool us.

suppose that a recent flood devastated a wildlife preserve in your area. local leaders suggested organizing volunteers to plant
frez [133]
I think this is a good plan. In this way, it would stop flooding in the future. Trees help absorb water with their roots. It can absorb at least 20% of the flood water. 

However, there are also factors that would affect the trees from growing healthily. Some of the trees would not receive the right amount of energy and sediments can possibly be mix with the good soil.

It is best that we examine why the flooding occurred. There could be other possible reasons for flooding. It can be pollution caused by people throwing their garbages anywhere.

Do you think it is possible for scientists to incorporate chloroplasts into the skin cells of humans? What would this mean for h
Alisiya [41]

Similarly to mitochondria on which the animals and fungi rely upon, the chloroplasts are the solar-power plants of the plant cell. With the advancement in the field of genetics and biotechnology, it may be feasible for scientists to incorporate chloroplasts into human skin cells. However, there may be few issues, which the human beings would have to encounter with, these are as follows:  

1. The immune system of the humans may attack the chloroplasts, but maybe they would be safe if they are present within the cell.  

2. As the skin of the humans would be undergoing the process of photosynthesis, then they would have to be in green color, thus, the melanocytes of the skin would have to be engineered in order to generate another pigment.  

3. The humans may get skin cancer and sunburns when they would be out feeding on sunlight, that is, the ultraviolet part of the sunlight would cause the destruction of the living cells.  

4. In order to undergo the reaction of photosynthesis, the humans would require more water than usually required by a normal human being, and this could be a disadvantage in a desert surrounding.  

5. The process would not help to generate much energy for an active species like humans, as the daily energy requirements for a human being would be attained by absorbing around 10000 kJ of energy, that is, around 150 hours in a day of sitting in the Sun, which is impossible.
