Answer:

Organic compounds→ nucleotides→ RNA→ universal code.

Organic compounds are the compounds made by living organisms with at least one molecule of carbon linked to different elements like hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.for example: nucleotides.

A nucleotide is the monomer units of nucleic acids- DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide is made up of organic compounds- sugar, a phosphate molecule and nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil).  

The arrangement of nitrogenous bases in DNA decides the fate of proteins as the sequence of these bases acts as code arranged in the triplet called "codons" which code for specific amino acids.

Thus, Organic compounds→ nucleotides→ RNA→ universal code is the correct answer.

Why does active transport require energy to move molecules of a substance across a cell membrane?
Fed [463]

Answer:

The substance moves from low to high concentration, against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

When molecules move from high to low concentration, it is known as Diffusion. It moves with the concentration gradient and does not require energy.

However, when molecules move from low to high concentration, it is against the concentration gradient and cannot proceed without Energy. This process is called Active transport.

Cell membrane is not thick, it is thin and semi permeable.
