Answer: option B) Statement is false

Explanation:

Living things are NOT composed only of organic elements. Organic elements refers to compounds of Carbon, whereas living things such as Vertebrates (man, shark, lion etc) possess bones, teeth with INORGANIC components like phosphorus, magnesium, calcium.

Also, nonliving things are NOT made up of only inorganic elements. A good example is the air we breathe, it is non-living, yet contains carbon in the form of Carbiondioxide.

If an area is in the 50+ dBZ range, what atmospheric pressure conditions could the area be experiencing?
monitta

The atmospheric pressure conditions for a 50+ dBZ range differs from small to heavy hails.

Explanation:

dBZ refers to decibel relative to Z used in weather radar most of the times, in order to compare the reflection factor (Z) of a weather radar signal reflected off a remote object  to the return of a droplet of rain with a diameter of 1 mm.

dBZ is a logarithmic dimensionless technical unit, at 55 dBZ and above, most storms have hail which can throw off the rainfall rate because hail has a higher reflection.

Generally above 50 dBZ range the intensity varies accordingly for every 5 points. Such as small hail to moderate hail and from moderate to heavy hail.

Therefore the atmospheric pressure conditions differs from rains to hails.

Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins
Harman [31]


The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to  lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which  summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes  in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding  this information, which results in the making of  protein.
