Answer:
A monomer is a molecule that can be bonded to other identical molecules to form a polymer
Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins.
Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.
Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes. A gene mutation is defined as an alteration in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. This change can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. DNA consists of a polymer of nucleotides joined together. During protein synthesis, DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated to produce proteins. Altering nucleotide sequences most often results in nonfunctioning proteins. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code that lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop the disease. Gene mutations can be generally categorized into two types: point mutations and base-pair insertions or deletions.
Energy will take the path from sun to stomach as sun's energy to chemical energy followed by thermal and mechanical energy.
Explanation:
The energy of the sun is in the from of chemical energy which is the ultimate basis of life on earth . The process of photosynthesis occurs to form a chemical compound named glucose. The food ingested is in polymer complex forms as protein, carbohydrate, fats etc which is broken into monomers for absorption in intestine and stomach.
The dietary compound has energy stored in their bonds as chemical energy.
So, from sun human consume chemical energy which is stored in food.
The energy even if consumed by eating meat is also chemical energy which is stored as potential energy.
The breakdown of food or chemical energy into monomers leads to release of thermal energy or heat to maintain optimum body temperature.
Chemical energy also gets converted to mechanical energy which allows functioning of vital organs and movement of body.
