The genetic code is said to be "degenerate" becauseA. A single tRNA may couple a single mRNA codon to multiple amino acids. B. A

single codon in an mRNA can couple to the anticodons of many different types of tRNAs. C. A single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA D. More than one type of tRNA can be charged with a particular amino acid.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "A single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA".

Explanation:

Genetic code is said to be "degenerate" because there are more codons than amino acids, which is possible because a single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA. tRNA recognize the codons of the mRNA by a specific nucleotide sequence called anticodon, however the nucleotide sequence of the anticodon can recognize more than one codon sequence. This phenomenon takes place at the third position of the codon and is known as "wobble".

During photosynthesis, light energy is converted to the energy in chemical bonds. What also happens according to the predictions
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The correct option is c. c. heat is released in the process.

Explanation:

Thermodynamics is the study of the behavior of heat energy and the ways in which energy is transformed into heat. The second law of thermodynamics indicates that from one form of energy to another (mechanical energy to chemical heat and vice versa) there is loss of energy in the form of heat. This form of energy, known as heat, is degraded energy, which is simply disorganized movement of molecules. The second law of thermodynamics implies that there is always a tendency towards greater disorder or entropy. To counteract entropy, that is to create order, energy must be used. This can be observed in a natural ecosystem: the energy emitted by the sun is captured by plants and converted into energy stored by photosynthetic processes.  

Photosynthesis is the process in which the energy of light is converted into chemical energy in the form of sugars. The energy accumulated by plants during photosynthesis is called primary productivity. The solar energy that reaches the surface of an ecosystem is only used approximately 1%, because the losses are considerable until reaching primary production. In effect, approximately 45% of the available light is absorbable by photosynthetic organelles; a part of the potential radiation is reflected; another part is transmitted by the vegetal organs, that is to say, that passes through them, and the absorbed energy is transformed into heat.

Think about water and how it rolls up on the beach. Think of all its qualities. Is it alive according to the characteristics of
Naily [24]

Answer and explanation;

Water is neither live or dead.

Water is a non living thing.

Water does not posses the characteristics of living things; and besides we talk about alive or dead when it comes to living things.

Living things are made of a single or many cells; unlike the case of water; and these cell are responsible for their living nature.

Living things need nutrients, respire, reproduce, show movements , among other characteristics.

Water does not in any way show these characteristics.

Water is a compound that is made of oxygen element and hydrogen element but not cells like living things.
