Answer:

Structure and is found in tendons, bones, and ligaments.

Communication and works as chemical messengers such as hormones.

Defense as in antibodies.

Transportation and are embedded in the cell membrane to allow substances to move across the cell membrane.

Enzymes that lower the activation energy of a reaction.

Contraction to allow muscle and cell contraction/movement.

Explanation:

Proteins serve many functions in living organisms.

Structure: The most abundant protein in mammals is collagen and is found throughout the body. In a major component of connective tissue such as skin, ligaments, and tendons providing strength and elasticity to these tissues. It is found also mineralized in bones and teeth.

Proteins function as hormones which are chemical messengers that mediate many cellular responses in the body. For example, the hormone insulin is a protein.

Proteins functions in the body's immune system as antibodies which recognize and initiate immune responses against diseases. The immunoglobulin such as immunoglobulin A and G are proteins.

Proteins serves as transporters to move substances across the cell memebrane. Some are found as peripheral or integral membrane proteins. Examples of transport proteins are the glucose transporters, Glut-1, Glut-2 and Glut-4 transporters.

Enzymes are proteins which catalyse the chemical reactions tanking place in an organisms. Various enzymes in the body include the hydrolases, the ligands, the leases, etc.

Contraction of the actin filaments of the muscle which are proteins, allow muscle and cell contraction bringing about movement.

A Note on the other options.

Eicosanoids are lipid molecules which serve various functions such as in regulation of blood pressure or inflammation.

Steroids such as cholesterol are lipid-derived molecules.

Glycogen for energy storage in muscles is a storage form of glucose, a carbohydrate.

Determine whether the statement is true or false. Suppose P(t) represents the population of bacteria at time t and suppose P'(t)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.

The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.

The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.

When t < 3, P'' > 0.  

When t = 3, P'' = 0.

When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.

Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..

Sloths have less muscle than other mammals their size in order to _______.
o-na [289]
A.
conserve energy

The smaller muscle mass of the sloth, means that it needs less energy to work, allowing it to be able to survive on a less diet.
Most of their muscles are concentrated in their upper body, allowing them to be efficient climbers but very slow on the ground.
