<u>ANSWER:</u>

The correct option is D: Atomic Mass Unit. Atomic mass is the "mass of an atom" of elements which is measured in amu or atomic mass unit.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The atomic mass is found to be equivalent to the "number of protons and neutrons" in an atom which is also the "mass number" of an atom.
  • The atomic mass is known as atomic weight which is equal to the "weighted average" of "isotopes" of an element.

Describe what you think is happening during photosynthesis.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2 O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Explanation:

The energy for photosynthesis comes from light. Light energy is converted to chemical energy by chlorophyll. There are two sets of reactions, light dependent and light independent. The process mostly takes place in the chloroplasts of plant leaf mesophyll cells. Photosynthesis is the process where a plants uses the sun’s energy to turn light into chlorophyll. Plants produce oxygen during this process and utilize carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis is the single most important chemical process on the earth. Almost all plants needs the sun in order to survive Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth – it provides food and energy for all living creatures who eat the plants that rely on this process to produce their food (glucose). · More than half (70%) of the world’s oxygen is produced by phytoplankton photosynthesis in the world’s oceans.

Glycerol is one of two molecules that make up a monomer known as?
lukranit [14]
The correct answer is triglycerides, this is the monomer that is made up of gylcerol and one other molecule. The other molecule within the monomer will depend on the use of the tryglycerde - for example, in adipose tissue, tryglycerides are composed of one molecule of glycerol and three moles of fatty acid.

Oxytocin and alcohol

Explanation:

Oxytocin helps to relax the muscles of the breasts and induce lactation in a breastfeeding mother. This hormone is commonly called the cuddle hormone since it helps to create the social and emotional bond between the child and the mother.

Alcohol clearly inhibits the secretion of oxytocin and breastfeeding immediately after alcohol consumption can reduce lactation and milk intake by the child. Maintaining an interval after an alcoholic drink again leads to delayed breastfeeding. Intoxicating levels of alcohol in breast milk can affect the child’s health.

One form of chromatin modification is acetylation, which is known to occur on positively charged histone tail amino acids, thus
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

A. The tails do not interact with the DNA

Explanation:

The acetylation refers to the transfer of the acetyl group from Acetyl-CoA to the N-terminal of the histone protein.

Lysine residues (positively charged amino acid) are present at the end of the N-terminal of the histone protein which is neutralized by the acetyl group.

This loses the compaction between the positively charged histone and the negatively charged DNA and the DNA becomes more relaxed. This relaxed state allows the transcription factors to easily bind the DNA and therefore the DNA becomes transcriptionally active.

Thus, Option-A is correct
