Answer: Response to the environment.

Explanation:

Living organisms respond to their environment, and this <u>response to stimuli is an important characteristic of life, because it helps the organism to stay in balance</u>. Anything that causes a living organism to react is called a stimulus, which can be external or internal.

The effectors produce an appropriate response to the stimulus in order to maintain homeostasis within the organism.

Ultraviolet light can damage the DNA in cells, causing mutations. So, once the skin is exposed to sunlight, the organism tries to cover all the cells with melanin, which block UV rays.

Select all statements that correctly describe hemoglobin and myoglobin structure. a.The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

B, G , E, F.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is known to be a tetrameric hemeprotein, which is found in the erythrocytes where it binds with oxygen,and then the bound oxygen is transported to parts of the body.

Myoglobin is a monomeric protein that is found in the muscle tissue. Its function is that, it serves as intracellular storage site for oxygen.

It should be understood that, both hemoglobin and myoglobin are hemeproteins with physiological importance of having the ability of binding molecular oxygen.

In this case, it is also known that, the two, that is hemoglobin and myoglobin have a prosthetic group called heme, which is described or known to be a tightly bond, specifically a non-polypeptide unit which is required for biological function of some protein.
