Answer:

According to the levels of organization in the body, the level of organization in which proteins, like collagen, are found is the molecular level, allowing the structural support and the performance of other essential functions.

Explanation:

Proteins are biological macromolecules, polymers of units called amino acids. These molecules belong to the molecular level of organization in living organisms.

The level of organization where proteins are found allows them:

  • <em>Form an essential part of cells.</em>
  • <em>Contribute to the construction of tissues and organs.</em>
  • <em>Participate in metabolic reactions, as enzymes. </em>
  • <em>Defense of the organism, in the form of antibodies.</em>
  • <em>Regulation of vital functions, forming hormones.</em>

Other functions of proteins are to integrate the cell membranes and perform transport function, to form receptors and to be an energy reserve.

What part of cell division/cell cycle is affected to cause thyroid cancer? why?
Rashid [163]

Cancer cells act differently to regular cells in the body. These differences are related to cell divisional behavior. For example, cancer cell(s) can multiply and grow outside the body. Regular cells can only grow inside the body. Cancer cells can trick neighboring cells into making growth factors that sustain their life. I hope this answers your question, If not, here's a link:

Distinguish between first-generation pesticides and second-generation pesticides used by people to combat pests, and give an exa
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

No short answer.

Explanation:

First and second generation pesticides differ vastly in terms of their contents and effects.

First generation pesticides were used in early 20th century up until the 1940's and they consisted chemicals such as mercury and lead which were not biodegradable and they started adding up in the soil until it was not fertile anymore. Second generation pesticides were divided into three groups as chlorinated hydrocarbon, organophosphates or carbamates and consisted of chemicals that were less harmful for the soil and did not accumulate over time. Some examples to second generation pesticides can be DDT or dimethoate.

Broad spectrum and narrow spectrum pesticides have the difference of effective range between them. Narrow spectrum pesticides are designed to target a specific organism such as a specific plant or an insect whereas broad spectrum pesticides are applicable to a wider range of organisms and still have the same effect for each.

Chitin Inhibitors can be given as an example of narrow-spectrum pesticides and the second generation pesticides in the answer can be given as an example of broad-spectrum pesticides.

I hope this answer helps.

A researcher is creating pedigrees for a trait he suspects to be dominant in humans. what are some of the likely features of his
xz_007 [3.2K]
A feature of a pedigree that indicate that a certain trait is a dominant trait is that one of the parents always have to have the trait.

There are, however, autosomal dominance and X-linked dominance.

For an autosomal dominant trait: 
- Appears equally frequent in both sexes.
- Both sexes transmit the trait.
- Present in all generations.
- When one parent has the trait and the other doesn't, approximately half of the offspring will present the trait.

For a X-linked dominant trait: 
- Both male and females can present the trait, but more females usually present it.
- Sons with the trait always have a mother that presents the trait as well.
- Daughters with the trait always have either a mother or father that presents the trait, or both.
- Fathers with the trait always have daughters with the same trait.
