It is possible for a cell to make proteins that last for months; hemoglobin in red blood cells is a good example. however, many

proteins are not this long-lasting. they may be degraded in days or even hours. why do you think cells make proteins with such short lifetimes if it is possible to make them last longer?

The cells of the body are perfectly capable of making proteins with a life span of many months, still the cells make proteins which are short-lived. On one hand, they make proteins like hemoglobin having a life span of approximately 120 days, and on the other hand, it makes proteins with life span of few days, such as a tumor suppressor protein. The short lived proteins have their own advantage, as they allow the cells to control their function, and amount precisely.

What is the fitness advantage for the angiosperm approach to the formation of nutritive tissue?
kiruha [24]
<span>An advantage for the angiosperm approach to the formation of nutritive tissue is in energy conservation.</span> <span>The nutritive tissue is formed via double fertilization in Angiosperms. The advantage of double fertilization is that the plant does not invest energy in seed nutritive tissue until after an egg has been fertilized. This means that endosperm (nutritive tissue) starts to develop and store nutrients after it has been fertilized by a sperm cell.</span> Another advantage is that the endosperm nucleus is very active and <span>divides rapidly, so it forms the nutritive tissue very quickly.</span>

Nadusha1986 [10]
Water from nearby rivers or lakes is usually use to cool down the reactors in nuclear power plants the release of this heated water back into the river or lake would most likely result in a change in the variety of life in the waters. It would change since life in that area should adapt to the change in the temperature due to the nuclear reactor.
