Answer:

b) DNA polymerase can synthesize DNA in the 5' to 3' direction

DNA polymerase is only able to synthesize a new strand of DNA and not mRNA. It is only able to do this in the 5' to 3' direction. The leading template strand runs in the 3' to 5' direction and so the new complementary strand is synthesized in a 5' to 3' direction in one continuous run, following the replication fork as it 'unzips' the DNA.

hope it helps btw i did this test and i got it correct

Animals store most of their excess energy reserves as what?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Animals store most of their excess energy reserves as fat within the body. Whenever carbohydrates are not available, this stored fat provides the required energy. Fat is a very important part of the diet as it helps to maintain the body temperature. Fats also help to absorb certain vitamins like A, D, E and K.These vitamins are highly essential for our body and is present in our daily diet that we eat. These vitamins are also called fat soluble vitamins. It should also be kept in mind that there are good fats as well as bad fats. The increase in the amount of bad fats can be fatal and can be a reason for heart attack.

A small 21 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 3 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

astraxan [27]

The formula for finding the kinetic energy of an object is:
KE = 0.5MV^2,
Where:
M= Mass
V = Speed
From the information given above,
M = 21 kg
V = 3 m/s
KE = 0.5 * 21 * 9 = 94.5
Therefore, the canoe's kinetic energy is 94.5 J
