1. The nucleic acids DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many . 2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1. Nucleotides

2. Amino acids

3. Amino acids

4. Glucose

Explanation:

All the above substance described are biomolecules. They are all polymers i.e. complex molecule bond together in a long repeating chain, made up of simpler subunits called monomers. The monomers of the different biomolecules outlined above are:

1. The nucleic acids, DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many NUCELEOTIDES. A nuceleotide is a chemical combination of a five carbon sugar (pentose), phosphate group and nitrogenous base. These nucleotides are arranged sequentially to form nucleic acids (RNA and DNA).

2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen molecules and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are arranged to form a 3D structure that determines the function of the protein.

3. Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. All proteins are made up of the amino acid but the protein's function is dependent on the 3D structure formed by the amino acid sequence.

4. Animals store energy in the form of glycogen, a carbohydrate made up of thousands of monosaccharide (GLUCOSE). Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of many monosaccharide units. These units are glucose molecules that are multibranched to form the glycogen that stores mainly in the liver and muscles of animals.

A client who sustained a head injury reports bland taste of food. upon examination, the nurse finds that there is loss of taste
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The correct answer is PONS.

The anterior two third of the tongue is innervated by the facial nerves. So, if the sensation is lost in the anterior two third of the tongue, then the damaged structure of the brain should be associated with the facial nerves. The pons of the brainstem is the site of the emergence of the facial nerves. Hence, in case of non functioning facial nerves, the pons would be damaged.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The increase in volume of the muscle fibers due to the enlargement of its components is referred to as hypertrophy.

Explanation:

Hypertrophy is about increasing the size of the transverse diameter of muscle fibers, it causes the muscle to grow in volume, due to the stimulation of the growth of muscle cells without cell division in the muscle. Hypertrophy occurs as a result of resistance training.
