Answer:

A: Some energy will be used to do work and some will be lost as heat.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, none of the processes of energy transformation is 100% efficient. The part of the energy is always converted into unusable form and is lost as heat.  

Consumption of food includes process of cellular respiration to obtain energy from nutrients. However, part of the energy of nutrients is lost as metabolic heat and rest are stored in the form of ATPs.  

Example: during cellular respiration, only 40% energy of a glucose molecule is stored in form of ATPs and rest 60% is lost as heat.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: Option B) No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

Since the triplet codon ACG codes for the amino acid threonine, so also ACA codes for threonine, the single base change of Guanine (in ACG) to Adenine (ACA) is insignificant due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.

Thus, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur

Which best describes the lysogenic cycle?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Lysogenic cycle is one of the two replicating cycles of the virus or bacteriophage.

In this cycle, the genetic material of the virus gets integrated with the genome of the host cell.

The integrated genetic material divides every time the host cell divides and passed on to the daughter cells with each division.

The genetic material of the virus or bacteriophage which gets integrated with the host genome is termed as a prophage.

Thus, the host cell does not get lysed and can reproduce normally.
