Answer:

D. electron transport proteins

Explanation:

In order to identify which faction contains the mitochondria, we have to test for the presence of the substance that is common to mitochondria alone. Insulin receptors, aquaporin, phospholipids in the outer membrane, and polysaccharides are not unique substances common to mitochondria.  Electron transport proteins are unique to mitochondria, which are present in the inner membrane of mitochondria.

A mitochondrion has an outer and an inner membrane. The inner membrane is not easily permeable as the outer membrane, and as such, the inner membrane contains electron transport proteins that help in that regard. The presence of electron transport protein is the unique substance to be tested for, to determine the fraction that contains the mitochondria.

Which protein synthesis process comes first?<br> O Translation<br> O Transcription
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Transcription

Explanation:

First comes Transcription, then comes Translation.

For example, DNA comes first, RNA comes second, and Protein comes third which makes proteins last. So, during the DNA process, Replication occurs. After that, DNA hops over to RNA using Transcription, and after that RNA hops over to Protein using Translation. So, we look left to right. Now, when I listed everything, Transcription came first and Translation came second. There is your answer.

By using sound waves, _______ signals allow oceanographers to determine ocean depth. A. radar B. phone C. sonar D. radio
ryzh [129]
<span>The appropriate answer is c. sonar. Oceanographers use sonar to determine the ocean depth. A sonar signal is sent from the ship. Oceanographers record the time taken for the signal to leave the ship and for it to return. Knowing the speed of sound in water, they are able to calculate the depth of the water. This method is also used to generate bathymetric images of the ocean floor. </span>
