Answer:

The correct answer will be option it lacks cells, lacks DNA and lacks the ability to maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

Biologists have tried to remove confusion between living and non-living things by making a list of characters common to all living beings like cellular organization , metabolism , reproduction , homeostasis , growth and development, heredity, response to stimuli  and adaptation through evolution.

Since, fire shows few characteristics of living beings like growth, complexity and movement but it lacks the basic unit of life that is a cell, lacks genetic or heredity material-DNA which is passed to offsprings and also lacked the ability to maintain homeostasis ,therefore it cannot be considered alive.

Hence, it lacks cell, lacks DNA and lacks the ability to maintain homeostasis are the correct options.

Hmm.. This is confusing I know, but i believe the last time i saw a question like this it is the lack of a maintaining homeostasis. A fire can not do this on its own accord.

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called
inysia [295]

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called

a) mutagen

b) inversion

c) point mutation

d) translocation

Answer:

c) point mutation

Explanation:

When only one or a few nucleotides of a gene are changed by mutation, this is called a point mutation. A point mutation can add one additional nucleotide to the wild type gene or may delete or substitute a nucleotide from it. For example, if a wild type gene sequence is "ATATATATA", then the addition of "C" at the position 4 will change it into "ATACTATATA". This addition of new nucleotide is called point mutation since only one nucleotide is added to the gene. Point mutations can cause serious genetic disorders such as sickle cell anemia.

Answer: ATP releases energy when it converts to ADP .

Explanation:

During energy needs, the body cells directs the loss of a phosphate group (Pi) from ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) to yeild ADP (adenosine Diphosphate), and a further loss will yield AMP (adenosine monophosphate). For each loss energy is also released when a phosphate is removed

The reaction involves the addition of water, so it is a hydrolytic reaction, and is catalyzed by enzymes of the mitochondria, and is represented as the equation below:

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy
