Answer:

a homologous structure is an organ or body part that appears in different animals and is similar in structure and location, but doesn't necessarily share the same purpose.

An example of a homologous structure is the human arm as compared to the wing on a bird.

2. What is an example of something studied on the molecular level (as opposed to the atomic level)?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Something studied on the molecular level is the water.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule formed by two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, whose chemical representation is H₂O. It is a molecule whose polarity makes it a universal solvent of other polar molecules.

The molecular level corresponds to the level of organization where two or more atoms unite to form molecules or substances, united by chemical bonds. H₂O is studied at this level due to its chemical structure.

With respect to other options:

  • <u><em>Hydrogen and oxygen</em></u><em> are atoms, and correspond to the level of atomic organization.</em>
  • <u><em>Protons</em></u><em> are particles that are part of an atom, and correspond to the subatomic level.</em>

Which of the following does NOT characterize proteins?
8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.

Explanation:

Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?

This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.

<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>

A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.

<u>Denaturation</u> is the <u>destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures</u>. The <u>primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds</u> and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.

B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.

There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones <u>(FSH, LH)</u>, antibodies <u>(IgA, IgM),</u> enzymes <u>(lipase, amylase),</u> for storage/transport <u>(hemoglobin, ferritin)</u>, and locomotion <u>(actin, troponin).</u>

D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.

Just like <u>hemoglobin</u>, it's <u>quaternary structure</u> can carry <u>4 molecules of iron</u> in one go. <u>Enzymes</u> are shaped accordingly to fit a<u> specific substrate</u> <em>(lock-and-key model)</em>

Label the features of the stomach and nearby regions in this frontal section of a cadaver (anterior view)
Fantom [35]
1- Pyloric sphincter
2-Duodenum
3- Bile duct
4-Pancreatic duct
5-Esophagus
6-Lower esophageal sphincter
7-Fundus of stomach
8- Cardia
9-Body of stomach
10-Pyloric part

The <span>esophagus(5) connects to the stomach.</span>
<span> The food passes,from the pharynx, to the esophagus, to the stomach. This process is aided by peristaltic movements done by esophagus muscles.
This organ contains two sphincters:</span><span>the upper and the lower esophageal sphincter.
 
</span>The stomach is divided into four parts:
<span><span>1-The cardia (8) - this part is connected to  the esophagus and its where  the epithelium changes from stratified squamous to columnar.
In this region is the lower esophageal sphincter (6).

</span>2--The fundus(7)- It's formed by the upper curvature of the stomach.

3- the body(9)- is the main part; and the biggest

4-The pylorus/</span><span> Pyloric part (10) - is the lower region. This part is connected to the small intestine, the duodenum. In this region there is a </span>
strong ring of muscle called the (<span>1) Pyloric sphincter.


In the first part of the duodenum there is a connection with a duct that comes from the pancreas -4-</span>Pancreatic duct .
There is another duct that ends in the duodenum called- <span>Bile duct, that caries bile to digest fats.</span>
