Answer:

Phosphorus

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a vitally important element in the growth and health of plants and animals. As hydroxyapatite, phosphorus is an important constituent of teeth and bones. As adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or other organic phosphates, the element plays an indispensable role in biochemical processes. All biological mechanisms that use phosphorus use it in the form of orthophosphate or, alternatively, as polyphosphate, which, by hydrolysis, becomes orthophosphate. Examples of these processes are photosynthesis, fermentation, metabolism, etc.

In living animals, phosphorus is also a constituent element of nervous tissue as well as cellular protoplasm.

For this reason we can say that phosphorus is not an abundant nutrient but is essential for life. It is part of DNA and RNA and a component of bones and cell membranes.

Phosphorus. It's not abundant, but it's important. There are traces of it in our bones and in the "phospho-lipid bilayer" of the membrane.

Hope that helps!

Mistakes can happen during DNA replication, and if they are not repaired it can result in a mutation. Certain mutations can lead
polet [3.4K]
Mutations result either from errors in DNA replication or from the damaging effects of mutagens, such as chemicals and radiation, which react with DNA and change the structures of individual nucleotides. All cells possess DNA-repair enzymes that attempt to minimize the number of mutations that occur

"Early philosophers and naturalists used (FILL IN THE BLANK) characteristics to classify living things."
Zanzabum
Perhaps the answer is "physical characteristics". I am simply making an educated guess, however I do know early philosophers classified organisms into two groups, Plants and Animals, and identified them based on physical characteristics.

Investigators wish to purify an enzyme—a serine protease—using affinity chromatography. They attach to the matrix of an affinity
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

After this treatment, the investigators should expect to get a mixture of the desired enzyme, plus fragments of the peptide used to desorb the enzyme in question.

This would be the result of using a peptide as a desorption solution when the desired protein is a protease,

Assuming that the protease retains its activity in the medium in question, and that the peptide can act as a substrate (which would make sense), as the peptide solution is added, it will interact with and bind to the antibody, but some molecules will also interact with the active site of the enzyme as it desorbs and passes through, culminating on the elution of the hydrolized part of the peptide along with the enzyme.
