Answer:

A . proteins can take a variety of shapes, and nucleic acids tend to form linear chains

Explanation:

Proteins are consist of 50 and 2000 amino acid long and can take variety of shapes in living organisms. Two types of proteins that found in living cells are globular proteins and fibrous proteins and they have different shapes. Example of  globular protein is hemoglobin and fibrous proteins are hair and nails, and collagen.

Nucleic acids  tend to form linear chains from the monomers called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components:  nitrogenous base. phosphate group, and pentose sugar (5-carbon sugar) that together forms a definite linear shape. It is found in DNA of living organisms.

Hence, the correct option is "A . proteins can take a variety of shapes, and nucleic acids tend to form linear chains".

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

40x, 100x, and 400x  

Explanation:

The ocular lens (closest to your eye) usually has a 10x power.

The objective lenses (closest to the object) usually have powers of 4x, 10x, and 40x.  

Combined, they give magnifications of 40x, 100x, and 400x.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

B) missense mutation

Explanation:

A type of base substitution that results in the replacement of one amino acid by another is called missense mutation. Missense mutations affect the mutated proteins in several ways. It may alter the amino acid composition of the active site of enzymes and render the enzymes inactive.

The wild type polypeptide chain has the following sequence of amino acids: Met-Ala-Gln-Arg-Glu-Leu. The mutated polypeptide has glycine in place of arginine. The rest of the amino acids are the same in wild type and mutated protein. This means that the mutation changed the genetic code of arginine into the genetic code of glycine resulting in the incorporation of glycine in position 4. This is an example of a missense mutation.

How does photosynthesis affect carnivores?
ahrayia [7]
This happens through the food chain. Herbivores eat the plants and carnivores eat the herbivores. If plants did not use photosynthesis,they would die from lack of energy and the other organisms would suffer as well.
