Biology
1 answer:
emmasim [6.3K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and rely on other organisms — both plants and animals — for nutrition.

autotrophs are known are known as producers because they are able to make their own food from raw materials and energy, such as plants, algae and some types of bacteria.

heterotrophs are known as consumers Because they consume producers or other consumers such as dogs, birds, fish and humans.

Why the membrane potential is negative, if there is a higher concentration of positive ions inside the cell than outside (counte
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Net membrane potential is equal to the difference of positive charge and negative charge existing at the inner and outer side of the cell respectively. Since outer negative charge is higher in concentration, the net membrane potential is negative

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential defined as the net difference of ion concentration existing at the inner and outer side of a cell membrane at nay instance.  

When the cell is at the resting potential, the positive potassium ion starts accumulating at the inner surface of the cell membrane as it becomes favors positive potassium ion. This leads to development of negative potential at the outer side of cell membrane by the accumulation of negative ions or charges. Hence, a net negative potential membrane develops.

If the sequence of bases on the mrna codon is auu what would be the sequence of bases on the trna anticodon
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

uaa

Explanation:

An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence localized in the transport RNA (tRNA) that binds via complementary base pairing to the codon in the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis (translation). Thus, the tRNA anticodon binds with its complementary three-letter mRNA codon during translation in order to add a specific amino acid to the growing protein. Generally, the anticodon sequence positions 34–36-nt of the tRNA that reads its cognate mRNA codon sequence via Watson–Crick base pairing.
