Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because ________. Which choice(s) comple
postnew [5]

Considering the following;

I. Heat is not readily available to all living cells.

II. Heat at excessive amounts denatures proteins.

III. Heat does not provide the activation energy for their reactions.

IV. When a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function

Answer;

I and IV

Explanation;

Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because heat is not readily available to all living cells and also when a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function.

Too much heat can kill an organism by rendering its organelles, cells, tissues and organs permanently inoperable and un-salvageable. The same process can be observed in tissues at low temperatures, and is the cause of frostbite. This is because enzymes are denatured by high temperature and inactivated by low.

What molecule is the source of information for transcription.
Grace [21]

DNA is the molecule, which is the source of information for transcription.

• During the process of transcription, RNA polymerase is an enzyme, which is accountable for copying a sequence of DNA into a sequence of RNA.

• The RNA polymerase monitors the phenomenon of transcription.

• At the time of transcription, the information is stored within a molecule of DNA, which is further copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA.

Thus, the correct answer is DNA.
