Answer:

16. Carbohydrates  

17. Lipids

18. Carbohydrates

19. Carbohydrates

20. Lipids

21. Lipids

22. Carbohydrates

23. Lipids

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified into three types: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g., lactose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch). Cellulose is a carbohydrate where many glucose rings chain together, while chitin is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of modified glucose molecules.

Lipids represent a diverse group of organic molecules that include, among others, fats, waxes, oils, hormones, etc. Lipids play a role by insulating (and protecting) the body. For example, there is a layer of fats beneath the skin which enables to maintain body temperature relatively constant. In animals, lipids constitute about 50% of the mass of cell membranes. These membrane lipids are mainly phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. There are hormones that derive from lipids such as steroid hormones, which derive from cholesterol. Some examples of steroid hormones are testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.

Which of the following is not found in bacteria? Which of the following is not found in bacteria? control of chromatin remodelin
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Control of both RNA splicing and chromatin remodeling control of RNA splicing.

Explanation:

RNA is present as genetic material but in case of some viruses only. RNA contains the nitrogenous base ( adenine, guanine, uracil and cytosine), oxyribose sugar and phosphate group.

The bacteria do not have well developed nucleus so no chromatin remodification occurs in case of bacteria. Bacteria is devoid of introns and contains only exons in its RNA structure. The splicing process is not required in case of bacteria.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

An insertion mutation example
Klio2033 [76]
Insertion mutations can be small, like in the CAGTC example in which only one nucleotide was inserted, or they can be large, with many nucleotides being added. If the number of bases inserted is not a multiple of three, then the insertion mutation is also considered a frameshift mutation.

Hope this helps :D
