of the following statements is true of passive transport?
A.) Energy, in the form of ATP, is essential for passive transport.
B.) Endocytosis and exocytosis are two forms of passive transport.
C.) Molecules move up a concentration gradient during passive transport.
D.) Carrier proteins are sometimes used during passive transport.

<span>In the passive transport, the diffusion takes place down the concentration gradient of a solute, and do not require the wxpense of energy. But sometimes, carrier proteins are used for transport of the substances who can not cross the membrane, on their own, such as water and carbon dioxide. They are polar and have some charge, therefore, are not able to cross the hydrophobic membrane without carrier proteins. So, your answer is D.</span>

In messenger RNA, each codon calls for a
olganol [36]

Answer: c) amino acid

Explanation: A codon is an mRNA sequence which contains three nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid. The codons on the mRNA are read by the ribosome during translation and the amino acid coded for by each codon is used to make a protein. There are 64 different codons in existence, each amino acid is coded for by at least one codon. Some amino acids have more than one codon. For example, the amino acid Leucine is coded for by six codons: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG while the amino acid phenylalanine is coded for by two codons: UUU and UUC.

How can you catch streptococcus, a germ that causes strep throat, and if you do catch it, what is the best way to get rid of it?
Natalka [10]
OK so I'll give you two examples you can catch it if someone who is infected coughs or sneezes so basically it can be spread via airborne or you can even get it from sharing food or drinks also the best way to get rid of strep will be antibiotics/over the counter medicines or gargling warm salt water

Arrange the events taking place during transcription in order: i) The pre-RNA undergoes processing ii) RNA polymerase moves down
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

RNA polymerase binds to the promoter

Polymerase initiates RNA synthesis at the start point on the template strand

RNA polymerase moves downstream unwinding the DNA

RNA transcript is released and polymerase detaches from the DNA

The pre-RNA undergoes processing

Explanation:

The promoter is the specific DNA sequence that serves as a binding site for RNA polymerase. The enzyme RNA polymerase recognizes the promoter sequence and binds to it to begin the process of RNA synthesis. The process of RNA synthesis begins at the start site where the process of the unwinding of DNA duplex is initiated.

The unwinding separates the two DNA strands at the start site where RNA polymerase begins the process of synthesis of the new RNA strand. The newly formed RNA strand and RNA polymerase are released from the template strand after the termination of the process.

In eukaryotes, the primary RNA transcript undergoes the process of splicing of introns, the addition of poly-A tails and 5' cap which in turn transform it into the mature mRNA.

It’s easy to understand why multiple bands would be present in the lanes containing DNA that has been cut with restriction enzym
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

These bands represent different confirmation of DNA

Explanation:

pGLO DNA is a plasmid DNA that is used as a vector for genetic engineering. Plasmid DNA is found in supercoiled confirmation in vivo. The double helix forms extra twists to easily fit inside the cells. During isolation of plasmid from the cell, nicks can be introduced in the DNA due to harsh isolating methods or contamination by nuclease. As a result the supercoiled confirmation is changed into circular confirmation. It is bulkier than the supercoiled form and travels more slowly. When both DNA stands get cut at the same place, the DNA gets liner confirmation. In the end, supercoiled DNA runs the fastest on gel followed by linear DNA and then the circular DNA.
