It would be C but its been a while since i took this class so sorry if im wrong but im 80% sure its C
A cell is analogous to an engineered watch because it consists of numerous interdependent sub units and also because coded information can not arise from random processes. A cell is the basic unit of living systems. Although it is relatively easy to visualize the components of cells, it is difficult to conceptualize how these components function together to sustain life within the cell.
Interphase. Reason: interphase is the first stage of mitosis but since mitosis is the division of the nucleus prophase is actually the first stage.
Answer:
The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.
Explanation:
Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?
This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.
<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>
A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.
<u>Denaturation</u> is the <u>destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures</u>. The <u>primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds</u> and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.
B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.
There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones <u>(FSH, LH)</u>, antibodies <u>(IgA, IgM),</u> enzymes <u>(lipase, amylase),</u> for storage/transport <u>(hemoglobin, ferritin)</u>, and locomotion <u>(actin, troponin).</u>
D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.
Just like <u>hemoglobin</u>, it's <u>quaternary structure</u> can carry <u>4 molecules of iron</u> in one go. <u>Enzymes</u> are shaped accordingly to fit a<u> specific substrate</u> <em>(lock-and-key model)</em>
Answer:
They would not be able to achieve homeostasis.
Explanation:
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment and the cell needs a healthy and proper enzymes to do this.
