Where does the protien-building begin? A. enzyme B. cytoskeleton C. DNA D. cell membrane
galben [10]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Protein building begins on the DNA strand. Usually, the DNA contains genetic information which flows from nucleic acids to proteins in a series of steps:

1) Replication: this is the first step. It involves the copying of parental DNA into daughter copies.

2) Transcription: this is the second step. Here, parts of the coded genetic message in DNA are copied precisely in the form of RNA - in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA).

3) Translation: this is the third step. Here, genetic message coded in mRNA is translated, on the ribosomes, into a protein with a specific sequence of amino acids.

Simply put, DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein.

.Which of the following lists contains only arthropods?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods.

Explanation:

Arthropods are animals that form the phylum Euarthropoda. This phylum includes the arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods, and insects. The defining characteristic for an animal to be considered an arthropod is that it has to have an exoskeleton, meaning that the skeleton of the animal is acting as a shell to the body, covering it from the outside.

At present, all of the species of arthropods are small in size, though in the distant past there were speciemens that can be considered as medium-sized or even large. The exoskeleton has its advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is that it is very hard and it covers fully the internal organs, thus protecting them. A disadvantage is that it limits the size to which these animals can grow as the exoskeleton cannot support the weight of the body after certain point.

At which population growth rate is the coal supply on earth expected to last the longest
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. no growth

Explanation:

Coal is fossil fuel, its supply is limited and it takes millions of years to form. We humans use a lot of coal to meet our energy needs. The higher the population growth, the greater the need for energy and more coal will be taken from the earth's coal supply. One day this supply will run out as the population keeps growing.

For coal supplies available on earth to last longer would require no population growth, so our energy needs would not grow as it would be equal to the size of the population we now have.
