A student is given five samples and told they are lysine (an amino acid), lactose (a disaccharide), insulin (a protein hormone),

RNA and fat. The samples are in test tubes marked 1-5, but the student doesn't know which compound is in which tube. The student is instructed to identify the contents of each tube. Base on these data, identify what is in each tube. In her first test, she tries to hydrolyze a portion of the contents of each tube. Hydrolysis occurs in all tubes except tube 3. In the next test, she finds that tubes 1, 2, and 3 are positive for nitrogen but only tube 2 gives a positive result for the presence of sulfur. In the next test the student shows that the compound in tube 1 contains a high percentage of phosphate. In the final test the student shows that compound 5 is hydrophobic. Base on these data, identify what is in each tube. 1 2 3 4 5 A. lactose B. RNA C. lysine D. fat

Answer:

1. RNA 2. Insulin 3. Lysine 4. Lactose 5. Fat

Explanation:

RNA contains both nitrogen and phosphate hence it is the substance in tube 1.

Insulin being a protein contains sulfur hence it is the substance in tube 2.

Lysine does not hydrolyse hence it is the substance in tube 3.

Fat is hydrophobic hence it is the substance in tube 5.

Since lactose does hydrolyse and because the rest have been identified, it must be the substance in tube 4.

What is the correct sentence?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: The correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).

Explanation:

During gene transcription, a linear fragment of DNA referred to as a 'gene' is used as template to synthesize a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.

Subsequently, this mRNA is then used as template to create a protein by a process called translation.

Moreover, phenotypic traits can be defined as all observable characteristics that an organism has.

The phenotypic traits are largely determined by the expression of either enzymatic or structural proteins, which interact to shape the phenotype of an organism.

In conclusion, the correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).

What solution describes a saturated solution?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

This is not my answer, I found it on the internet.

No more solutes can be dissolved in a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is a solution that consists of maximum amount and concentration of the solute that is dissolved in the solvent.

The extra amount of solute cannot be dissolved in a saturated solution.

The saturated solution is composed of solute and solvent and solvent cannot dissolve more solute at some extent.

The carbonated beverage is an ideal example of saturated solution.

The primary producers in an ocean grazing food web are usually ________.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

phytoplankton

Explanation:

Phytoplankton can be defined as a set of photosynthesizing microorganisms that live floating on the water surface. It is composed of microscopic algae and cyanobacteria, which can be unicellular, colonial or filamentous. These microorganisms are defined as the primary producers of an ocean grazing food network.

Because phytoplankton live in aquatic environments - both in limic (eg lakes) and marine environments - they have a number of adaptations that guarantee their survival in the water column.  Some of these microorganisms, for example, have flagella that aid locomotion; others, in turn, have gas vacuoles that aid in flotation, while some of them have mucilage, which surrounds the cells and ensures protection, flotation and locomotion.
