Answer:

Threonine has two chiral centers.

The correct options are c. carbon b and d. carbon c

Explanation:

Chiral centers are those that have four different groups of atoms bonded to it. Carbon a has three atoms of hydrogen attached to it so it can't be a chiral carbon. It isn't the carboxyl carbon either since it is double bonded to oxygen. And the amino nitrogen does not qualify anyway because it is bonded to three different groups of atoms, not four.

Diffusion in membrane cell
Nimfa-mama [501]
Diffusion is one form of passive transport that doesn't require the expenditure of cellular energy. A molecule can diffuse passively through the cell membrane if it's lipid-soluble, uncharged, and very small, or if a carrier molecule can assist it. ... The assisted process is known as facilitated diffusion.

Got this off google but still hope it helps :)

Sexual reproduction produces genetically different offsprings which do possess variations, hence better chance to survive in the environment.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sexual reproduction is the process of reproduction where there's a fusion of gametes from a male and female of the same species, resulting in a zygote and eventually an offspring. Sexual reproduction is very advanced type of reproduction which is very expensive for an organism. Much of the energy of the organism is spent to produce gametes and other necessary processes for reproduction.

Gametes of the sexual reproduction is produced mainly by means of meiotic cell division. This involves crossing over and chaismata formation which helps in genetic variations in the offspring. These variations help the species to survive unknown changes in environment, and helps to adapt quickly lessening the chances of extinction. So sexual reproduction has modified various times in different groups of species.

Studying the folding patterns of protein molecules can help microbiologists better understand cellular processes as well as some
xz_007 [3.2K]
The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".

Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.

Biologists recognize five levels of cell organization. The lowest and simplest is the cellular level. Organisms here are either unicellular organisms, like protozoa, or colonial organisms. Colonial organisms are composed of single-celled individuals that stay together to sustain the life of the whole colony. Next on the scale of complexity is the level occupied by tissue. A tissue is a group of similar cells that perform a similar activity. Tissues that are organized around a common function together make up an organ, the third level of complexity. The fourth level of organization is the system, formed by a group of organs that together perform a specific bodily process. The fifth and highest level is the organism level, in which body systems work together in a structure capable of independent life.
