Protein supplies approximately __________ percent of a human's typical energy needs.
andreyandreev [35.5K]
A human needs approximately 2-5 percent of protein for the typical energy needed daily. Protein is one of the most important building blocks in the body. It helps the bones, muscles, skin, blood, and cartilage. A humans nails and hair are made of protein. The protein your body uses also repairs tissues and build new ones.

What happens during the initiation step of DNA transcription? A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA st
Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.</u>

Explanation:

Transcription is the process in which DNA template is used to synthesize  mRNA.

There are three steps of transcription:

  • <u>Initiation</u>

It is the process in  which a portion of DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase binds to the promotor region on the DNA.

  • <u>Elongation</u>

It is the process in which RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template and synthesizes mRNA. During this process, unwinding of double stranded DNA takes place.

  • <u>Termination</u>

As the RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template, it finally reaches a termination signal and then stops synthesizing. It is followed by the detachment of the newly formed mRNA and RNA polymerase from the DNA.

<u>QUESTION:</u>

  • <u> A ribosome attaches to the initiation codon of a completed mRNA strand.</u>

This is the incorrect answer choice as this process does not happen in the process of transcription. This event happens<u> in the process of translation in which mRNA is used to synthesize proteins or amino acids. mRNA attaches to ribosome during this process.</u>

  • <u>RNA polymerase moves along the template strand of the DNA creating an mRNA strand.</u>

This is the incorrect answer choice as this event takes place in the process of elongation.

  • <u>A portion of the DNA unwinds and RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA within the transcription bubble.</u>

This is the<u> correct answer choice as this event takes place in the process of initiation of transcription</u>

  • <u>The mRNA detaches from the RNA polymerase as the RNA polymerase leaves the DNA strand.</u>

This is the incorrect answer choice. This event takes place in the event of termination of transcription.

Because global temperatures are ________[1], some species are seeking out ______[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Sci
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increasing[1], higher[2], space[3], food[4], climate change[5].

Explanation:

Because global temperatures are <u>increasing[1]</u>, some species are seeking out <u>higher[2]</u> elevations in the Himalayas to colonize.  Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough <u>space[3]</u> to live, but they have found that there is adequate <u>food[4]</u> at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of <u>climate change[5].</u>

(Although am positive about 1, 2 and 5, you will need to double check 3 and 4.  What I can tell you is that I don't think lifespan has to do with 3 or 4.  I chose space and food simply due to the thought that more species moving to higher elevations allows for less space to live, but more prey to be hunted easier.)
