Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

In the past, scientists believed that DNA was stored in proteins. Today we know that this is not true. The DNA is stored in the cell nucleus.

Proteins have an extensive list of functions in the body and are found in all cell structures, interstitial substances, antibodies, among others. Among the functions that can be attributed to proteins, its role in transporting oxygen (hemoglobin), in protecting the body against pathogenic organisms (antibodies), as a catalyst for chemical reactions (enzymes), membrane receptor, acting in contraction muscle (actin and myosin), besides being fundamental for the growth and formation of hormones.

Explain the cause-effect relationship between environmental changes and the extinction of species.
Contact [7]

Answer: Anything living needs to have certain conditions, if for example a group of flightless birds who are adapted for warm weather had their environment get colder each year and more extreme the surrounding plants and other animals may have a difficult time surviving and this will cause the birds to have less food. The birds also will not be accustomed to these changes and will not be able to adapt their bodies fast enough. This also makes reproduction difficult and in turn further dwindles the population.

Hope this helps!

A very rare disease will cause damage to the ribosomes in cells. what would be the direct effect of this disease?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

A rare disease that causes damage to the cell's ribosomes will have as a direct effect the inability to perform protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are cellular organelles formed by proteins and a type of RNA called ribosomal RNA, whose function is to translate the genetic code of the mRNA codon sequence and convert it into amino acids. This implies the first step for protein synthesis to occur.

<em><u>If a rare disease could structurally or functionally affect the ribosomes, the translation of mRNA into amino acids could not occur, so protein synthesis in the cell would not be possible</u></em>.

The consequences of the lack of protein synthesis involve severe consequences on the structure and function of a living organism.
