Why would cells die if they were unable to make (or otherwise obtain) the amino acid arginine?

Biology

Answer: Arginine is an amino acid that is incorporated into proteins. So if cells can not make or obtain arginine, the cell can not make proteins needed for survival.

Explanation:

Arginine is an amino acid used to build proteins, and it is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid.

Proteins are large molecules consisting of long chains of amino acids. They perform many functions such as catalysing metabolic reactions, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules, among many others.

Most notably, arginine is part of proteins that play an important role in many different processes such as cell division, immune function, wound healing and the release of hormones. <u>Without this amino acid, the cell cannot manufacture the proteins necessary for proper functioning</u>. So the cell dies because it cannot function properly.

lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is transitional.  

Gerobatrachus refers to an extinct genus of amphibamid temnospondyl, which thrived in the initial Permian, that is, about 290 mya, in the region, which is now known as Baylor County, Texas. The transitional form of fossils are those that demonstrate the intermediate form between the two distinct living species, it could be in a form of an ancestor and its descendants. It is considered that the frogs and salamanders have evolved from a common ancestor of primitive amphibian tetrapod subclass known as Temnospondyli.
