Answer:

The DNA unravels to make two strands

Explanation:

A DNA molecule consists of two long polynucleotide chains composed of four types of nucleotide subunits (A, G, C and T). Each of these chains is known as a DNA strand. Hydrogen bonds between the base portions of the nucleotides hold the two chains together.

Before a cell divides, its DNA needs to be replicated or duplicated in order to ensure that each new cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. This process of DNA replication occurs in the S-phase of interphase stage during cell cycle.

Before this DNA replication can occur, the length of the DNA double helix about to be copied must be unwound into two single strands. The two strands become separated by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired complementary bases (A-T, G-C). This process of unzipping the double-helical structure into a Y-shape known as replication fork is carried out by DNA HELICASE. The Y-shaped replication fork will be the template for replication to begin.

First, the two strands of DNA unwound, just like a zipper.
D is the right one.

Why is it important that scientists haven’t identified a Lokiarchaeota cell yet?

LiRa [457]

The Lokiarchaeota cell is one of the only ones they have yet to find out stuff about. Scientists also need to know about it because it is apart of our body and maybe sometimes they can cause infection in the body. Scientists need to know if it could lead to to some of the biggest infections ever. (I rlly Hope this helps you)

During diffusion molecules move where?

kipiarov [429]

Diffusion. Passive transport is a way that small molecules or ions move across the cell membrane without input of energy by the cell. ... Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of the molecules to an area with a lower concentration.

have a great day!!

The diagram shows two cells. Identify structures C, D, and E and explain how they work together to perform a specific process wi

soldi70 [24.7K]

Structure C, D, and E in the diagram represent the endoplasmic reticulum, the ribosome, and the Golgi apparatus respectively.

When the ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, they give it a rough appearance.

The ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus work together in the synthesis and transport of protein within the cell. In other words, they are all involved in the secretory pathway of cells.

The ribosome represents the actual site of protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum gets involved by folding the synthesized proteins and packaging them into secretory vesicles. Thereafter, the vesicles are transported to the Golgi apparatus.
The packaged proteins undergo further processing within the Golgi apparatus before they are exported to the cell membrane via the cytosol.

In other words, the 3 organelles work together to form the secretory pathway of the cell. They are involved in the synthesis, packaging, processing, and eventual transport of proteins to their target sites.
