You could say DNA is found in both viruses and in living single-celled organisms because DNA is necessary to replicate itself.
Tatiana [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Nucleic acids

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store genetic information and can be found in both viruses and living single-celled organisms (such as bacteria and protozoa).

In the case of <u>viruses</u>, they have no organelles and are basically composed of DNA or RNA (only one of them), performing their reproduction transferring the genetic material to a host cell, using their cellular structures.

<u>Unicellular</u> <u>beings</u>, on the other hand, have DNA and organelles, among them ribosomes, so they can synthesize RNA, which contains genetic information transcribed in it.

Large blue whales that are up to 30 meters long live primarily on ________ that is/are only about 6 cm long.
zalisa [80]

Large blue whales that are up to 30 meters long live primarily on krill that is/are only about 6 cm long.

Blue whales belong to the class of mammals. They are the largest animals on the Earth. They live in marine habitat. They can be more than 100 feet long. The weight of a single whale can be equal to 30 elephants. And they can live for as long as 80-90 years.

Krill are small animals belonging to the class of crustaceans. They are present in oceans. Krill are actually zooplanktons. They are majorly the food of whales. Krill are filter-feeders.

What are the similarities and differences between carrier proteins and channel proteins​
kvv77 [185]
* Channel proteins- these are proteins with a hydrophilic pore where specific ions are able to pass through the membrane. Each channel protein is specific to an ion. This is the only way ions can travel through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

* Carrier proteins- these are proteins which allow larger or polar molecules through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

Carrier proteins essentially “carry" signals that are not soluble in aqueous solution through the blood stream to their target cells. Carrier proteins for hydrophilic signals prevent degradation of the signal. Channel proteins are embedded in cell membranes. They often are receptors (though not always), and when activated, allow specific ions to pass through the membrane.

A channel protein is a special arrangement of amino acids which embeds in the cell membrane, providing a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions. Like all transport proteins, each channel protein has a size and shape which excludes all but the most specific molecules

The carrier protein facilitate diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. The protein is imbedded in the cell membrane and covers the entire membrane. This is important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.
