Answer: e. Hydroxyproline

Explanation: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a systemic heritable disorder of connective tissue whose cardinal manifestation is bone fragility - i.e. it is characterized by brittle bones that easily fracture. Hydroxyproline employed in radioactive labeling would not result in labeled collagen because it is not incorporated per se during the synthesis of collagen.

Compare and contrast kelp forests and coral reefs
Fynjy0 [20]
Both kelps and coral reefs are composed of algae that grow in the shallow parts of the ocean in warm and sunny waters. However, kelp forest grows in nutrient-rich waters while corals can develop in low nutrient waters.
Kelp forests are therefore common where warm and cold current meet in an up-welling. Coral reefs are borne of a symbiotic relationship between coral polyps and algae. The coral forms a rigid carbon skeleton of calcium carbonate while kelps are long flexible algae plants.

How would larger substances like proteins get into or out of the cell membrane?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

It is possible for large molecules to join a cell by a method called endocytosis, where a small piece of the cell membrane surrounds the particle and is brought into the cell. If the particle is solid, endocytosis is also dubbed phagocytosis. If fluid droplets are taken in, the process is called pinocytosis.
