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.

In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as ____________ molecules of atp are produced from one molecule of glucose.
shusha [124]
<span>In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. This is less than might be expected, because electrons from NADH produced during glycolysis must be shuttled through the inner mitochondrial membrane at a cost.
</span>The energy of the electrons can be used to make ATP and in eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the <span>cytosol, outside mitochondria. </span>

"In order to reconstruct the diet of Neandertals, scientists have analyzed the stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon in Neander
Virty [35]

Answer:

Big mammals as bears or Mammoths.

Explanation:

Neanderthal had a diet based in different food, for example, there are some evidence that they were feed on nuts, mushroom, and moss. The quantity of veggies were different depending the season and the region of the planet the neanderthals were.  Of course, most of their diet were based in meat, basically  of big animals because the evidence is that they had a digestive system appropriate to eat lean protein.

Studies of the bones and the coprolites showed a ratio of different elements as nitrogen and carbon, the ratio of the heavier element to the lighter, show the relationship among the meat/vegetable diet.

Hope this info is useful.
