Answer:

DNA, CHROMOSOME

Explanation:

All living cells contain a certain molecule that holds the information encoding the production of products (proteins) needed for their normal functioning. This molecule is called Deoxyribosenucleic acid (DNA). It is the stored form of genetic material in living cells. DNA is made up of long polynucleotide chains and contains segments called GENES, that encode information on how to make certain gene products.

However, due to the long nature of the genetic material (DNA), it is very difficult to fit into the enclosed region of the cell that houses it called NUCLEUS. To get rid of this issue, the cell devises a means of containing the genetic material (DNA). They do this by binding the DNA molecule to certain proteins called HISTONES.

The DNA coils around the core of these proteins to form a NUCLEOSOME structure. This nucleosome is composed of a DNA molecule wrapped around eight set of histone proteins called OCTAMER. The nucleosome undergoes further coiling to produce CHROMATIN. These Chromatin material then further coils and condenses to form the CHROMOSOME. Cells pass on their genetic material (DNA) in form of chromosomes.

Solid waste Incineration management process involves the burning of solid waste

<u>Explanation:</u>

Incineration is the process of burning of solid wastes. It is one of the processes of solid waste management. In this process, combustion of organic and inorganic wastes takes place that leads to the formation of ash, heat and flue gases. Ash is composed of inorganic constituents.

The heat generated during this process can be used to generate electricity. The process is carried out by Incinerators. Incinerators does not completely replace landfilling but it reduces the volume of disposal of the wastes.

Which would be an environmental cost of clearing land to make a parking lot?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Clearing heavily forested land ranges between $3,000 and $5,600 per acre while lightly wooded lots will only cost $500 to $2,000 per acre. The total amount you pay depends on the topography of the ground, ease of access to the site and the amount of debris you need to remove.

When 10,000 molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed to ADP and i in a test tube, about half as much heat is liberated as when a cell hyd

Korolek [52]

Answer:

C. Reactant and product concentrations in the test tube are different from those in the cell.

Explanation:

Cells convert some of the energy from ATP hydrolysis in to different forms of energy other than heat. ATP energy does not always generate more heat. Many times, energy is used for different purposes.
