Biomolecules are organic compounds that are present as essential components of living things. There are four major biomolecules namely lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins, lipids and glucose are usually used by organisms as energy sources as well as structural components among other functions in living organisms. Nucleic acids are important components that bring about heredity. In this case the appropriate molecule to be chosen by the long distance learner would be carbohydrate because it stores and may be used as a source of energy.
Answer: Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose.
Explanation:
Answer:
4. metabolism, growth, and evolution
Explanation:
Living organisms show different characteristics like respiration, movement, metabolism, growth, evolution, respiration, excretion, nutrition. Most of the microbes are microscopic and unicellular which means they are made up of only one cell but they are also living.
They perform three major types of activities like metabolism, growth, and evolution. This can be seen by culturing bacteria on suitable media. So in the medium, it can be observed that they consume the food present in media and extract energy from it through metabolic activities and are showing growth. All micro-organisms evolve due to mutation. So the correct answer is 4.
Autosomal traits would show Mendelian inheritance pattern but sex-linked traits would show criss cross inheritance.
Sex-linked trait is often controlled by gene present only on X chromosome, hence no corresponding allele is present on Y chromosome.
