Answer:

Part A: Proteins are made from amino acid monomers. There are 20 different types of amino acids which make up all the proteins of the body. The amino acids are made up of a carbon atom which is joined to an amino group, a carboxyl group and a variant group, known as R. Nucleic acids are made up of 5 carbon sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous bases.  Hence, nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides.

Part B: Protiens are important molecule which carry out various functions of the body. They are involved in regulation of various body process. Some proteins are involved in the transportation of various molecules. Other type of proteins are involved in various immune functions and hence protect the body. For example, antibodies are proteins which defend the body against pathogens.

Nucleic acids are involved in the storing and expressing of genetic information. They also direct the body for protein synthesis.

In most normal human somatic cells, telomeres shorten with each division. In stem cells and in cancer cells, however, telomere l
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Provides both the RNA and the polymerase needed for synthesis

Explanation:

Telomerase is an enzyme which extends the telomere sequences present at the end of the chromosomes. The telomerase enzyme acts as DNA polymerase as well as provides the RNA which serves as a template strand rather than the primer.

The polymerase acts as a reverse transcriptase enzyme and synthesizes the DNA strand from the  RNA template. Since the telomerase provides RNA and acts as DNA polymerase, therefore, it is known as the ribonucleoprotein molecule.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

ludmilkaskok [199]
The best answer is: introducing exotic species into <span> new environments. This can be actually bad, as new species can actually reduce the biodiversity in the environments to which they're introduced</span> , such when cats hunt indigenous birds.

I was a bit thinking about the last option too: making sure local people benefit from conservation efforts. This is not one of the classical goals of the conservation efforts, but since the previous one is definitely correct, i don't this one is. (it's not that it's not a goal, but it isn't a main focus)
