galben [10]
The right answer is: vitamin C and choline
Choline (vitamin B4) is the precursor on the one hand acetylcholine (important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator) and on the other hand, the cascade initiated by betaine (intermediate in the biological methylation and precursor of membrane lipids). In this, it is considered, by extension, as an integral part of the family of B vitamins,
Vitamin C protects against cellular aging, is essential for the immune defenses and increases the assimilation of iron of plant origin. It also contributes to the formation of collagen. Its deficiency leads to a disease called scurvy (hence the ascorbic acid name of vitamin C).

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The correct option is a) "decrease the amount of GTP to inhibit microtubule elongation and block secretion"

Explanation:

Since microtubules play a critical role in transporting secretory vesicles, preventing it from elongating will keep it from performing this function. Completely eliminating the microtubules from the cell as suggested in option d will harm the cells and other processes in it because the microtubules also have an integral part to play in maintaining cell shape & structure.

Imagine that you discover three different bacterial species on a meteorite. Each species contains genetic material that is not D
jeka94

Answer:

Species A: 2

Species B: 56

Species C: 162

Explanation:

Codons are sequence of 3 purine or pyrimidine bases that codes for amino acids. Each codon in mRNA eventually binds with anticodon in tRNA during protein synthesis and gets translated into their respective amino acids. Hence, the number of amino acids in each of the species represents the minimum number of codons in each species.

<em>Therefore, species A with 2 amino acids will have a minimum codon length of 2, species B with 56 amino acids will have minimum of 56 codons while species C with 162 amino acids will have minimum codon length of 162.</em>
