Answer:

Living organisms composed of many of the chemical elements, but most abundant elements include: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and calcium.

Oxygen: It is the most abundant element in living organisms composing of 65% of the human body. Oxygen present in the body in the form of water which is used to generate energy.

Carbon: It is readily bound with other elements so it is needed for complex structure and function.

Hydrogen: It is the simplest structure which form bond with oxygen and form the water, which is the most crucial component for the most living organisms on earth.

Nitrogen: It is composing 80% of the air and earth. It is very important element in plant life, because nitrogen is readily absorbed and used by plant.

Sulfur: It is major component of 2 amino acids cysteine and methionine used by living organisms.

Phosphorus: It is the main element of the cell membrane which helping in the formation of phospholipids.

What is the end product of the process of respiration? *
VikaD [51]

Answer:

B. carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Respiration is a process that animals and plants undergo to create energy to grow, move and sustain life.

The equation for cellular respiration is:

glucose + oxygen —> ATP + carbon dioxide + water

The organisms use glucose from food and oxygen to create ATP (useable energy), carbon dioxide and water.

Therefore, the answer is B. Carbon dioxide and water. Glucose and oxygen are not the end results, they are used to make the end results.

Which of the following features of the trp operon is most essential to the process of attenuation independent of the repressor p
diamong [38]

Answer:

The ability of sequences within the leader mRNA to pair with one another and form stem-lopp structures

Explanation:

A form of feedback regulation controls the  trp operon by regulating transcription termination, a mechanism referred to as Attenuation.

-In the presence of high concentrations of tryptophan, RNA polymerase ceases transcription  shortly after initiation in a region called the leader sequence.

-If  the concentration of tryptophan is low, transcription does not  terminate until the entire operon is transcribed. The mechanism of attenuation links alternative RNA secondary structures  to transcription termination.

-Immediately after transcription,  RNA from the leader region folds into one of two alternative  secondary structures.

-One of these structures is a transcription  termination signal that stops RNA polymerase from continuing  to the end of the operon.

-The alternative structure does not  contain a transcription termination signal and allows transcription of a single mRNA that encodes all the structural genes.  

-The decision as to which of the two alternative RNA structures  formed is regulated by the concentration of tryptophan.
