DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A. "the conversion of gaseous nitrogen into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3)".
Explanation:
Nitrogen fixation is a biological process at which gaseous nitrogen is converted into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). Nitrogen fixation is performed in nature by microorganisms in the soil. Some of these microorganisms have a symbiotic relationship with plants. These microorganisms convert the gaseous nitrogen into ammonia, which is used by the plant as a source of nitrogen.
Answer:
B. Living organisms use matter and energy for their life processes
Answer:
D. heterotrophic by ingestion, pseudopods
Explanation:
Protists are generally classified as all eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals or fungi. Example is amoeba, paramecium etc.They may be unicellular or multi cellular in nature.Most exist in colonies.
Their mode of nutrition can be photosynthetic or hetrotrophic. Hetrotrophic protists can be divided into phagotrophs and osmotrops/saprotrophs. The phagotrophs makes use of the cell body to engulf the food materials as in amoeba ,carry out extracellular digestion before swallowing it.
Osmotrops absorbed dissolved food from surrounding liquid environments directly. (Some photosynthetic protists can also be heterotrophic.
Amoeboid movement is the mode of locomotion of protists and some other eukaryotes. It involved the protrusion of cytoplasm, which exert pressure on the cell membrane to form pseudopodia and the posterioly evolved <u>Uropods. </u>

<u>Sol-gel theory has been proposed to expalin this movements, The ectopalsm of amoeba is gelly-like , while the endiplams is less viscpus and said to be sol. The interchange of the cytoplasmic fluis between the endo-and ecto plasm gives the SOL-GEL propulsion of the protopalms for the amoebic moveemnts .</u>

<u>The false feet(psuedopodium) drags the amoeba along in the direction of the flow of the cytoplasm.</u>
Therefore option D is the right option
