8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is carbohydrate chain.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane contain three types of protein  a peripheral protein b transmembrane protein and c GPI anchored protein.

    Some membrane protein basically peripheral proteins contain oligosaccharide chain arranged towards the extracellular region of the plasma  membrane with respect to the surface of that glycoprotein.

   The oligosaccharide chain of glycoprotein play an important role in to identify signals from outside the cell.These signals may include the entry of virus particles inside our body,protein targeting etc.

Summarize how the functions of organelles in animal cells and plant cells are the same and different.
Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>Plant and animal cells have different structures. One structural difference of plant cells and animal cells is the presence of the plant cell’s </span>cell wall,<span> specialized plastids and a large central vacuole which are not found within animal cells.

Another difference is the garbage disposal of each cell. Centrosomes and lysosomes are found in animal cells but both do not exist within plant cells. The animal cell’s garbage disposal takes place in the lysosome while garbage disposal of plant cells takes place in the vacuole.</span>

SIZIF [17.4K]

1. Answer:   A

Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.

2. Answer: B

Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known  as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.

3. Answer: A

Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.  

4. Answer: D

Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.

5. Answer: A

Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction  in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.
