B. Plants incorporate these elements into most plant compounds, including starch and cellulose.
C. Plants take in these elements only for specific events in their life cycle, such as producing flowers.

Answer:

Magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, sulfur these are essential nutrients for plants. These are required in trace quantity but are very important for plant life. Point A. will be correct answer.

Explanation:

As in B. starch n cellulose are composed of only carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.

As in C. These elements are not required on special occasion but are necessary throughout plant life.

As in D.  C H N O  is the primary component plants need but these secondary nutrients are equally necessary for growth n structure of plant.

<u><em>So answer A. Is the correct option.</em></u>

Calcium plays the most important role in structure formation of plants. Also act as messenger molecule in signaling. Deficiency  of calcium caused wilting , weakened stem and ultimately death of plant.

Magnesium is the key element in chlorophyll molecule. It is necessary for chlorophyll formation.

Sulfur is another very important element in plant life, it is necessary for protein synthesis in plants.

Phosphorous plays an important role in  process of cell devision , photosynthesis and respiration.

Potassium is very crucial in gaseous exchange ,it operates the opening and closing of stomata.

All living things have DNA in their cells, but not all living things have ribosomes.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

All living things need ribosomes, they are the ones that do the translation of the RNA to form proteins which are essential for the cell to live and to reproduce. Without them the cell will accumulate damage and die in a short period of time due to the fact that it lacks proteins that can act as enzymes, carriers, support of a structure, messengers, etc. In other words, Proteins are of vital importance for the cell and if there is no ribosome that can join the amino acids according to the mRNA sequence there will not be proteins.

The atmosphere is 80% nitrogen: why do you think plants and animals can't use nitrogen as it is found in the atmosphere?
Setler [38]

Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive

Explanation:

The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.

However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.

Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.

This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen

An original DNA strand has the following base sequence: TAGGTAACT What base sequence would be produced through transcription
laila [671]
<span>Answer;
</span>AUCCAUUGA<span>
The base sequence that would be produced will be; will be </span>AUCCAUUGA.<span>

Explanation;
Transcription is the process by which RNA are synthesized from DNA molecules, by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
The process takes place in the nucleus of a cell and DNA acts as a primer for the process. 
During the process; the corresponding base pairs are such that; A will correspond to T, while G will correspond to C. However in the RNA the nucleotide base Thyamine is replaced with nucleotide Uracil.</span>
