Answer:

enzymes are proteins

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules that enzymes may act on are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.

A carbon atom can bond with other atoms in a variety of ways. Wich set of bonds would a typical carbon atom in a compound
notsponge [240]

Answer:

A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.

Explanation:

A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.

In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.

You want to determine whether short wings in fruit flies are the result of a dominant or recessive mutation. You cross a short-w
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a dominant mutation

Explanation:

A monohybrid testcross is a cross-breeding experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homo-zygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular phenotypic trait (in this case, wing length). In a monohybrid testcross, a 1:1 phenotypic ratio shows that the dominant parental phenotype was a heterozygote for a single gene that has complete dominance. Moreover, a 3:1 ratio in the F2 is expected of a cross between heterozygous F1 individuals, which means that 75% of individuals with short wings have the dominant allele that masks the expression of the long-wing trait (i.e. the recessive allele).

A scientist is comparing the outer structure of an onion cell, structure X, to the outer structure of a human skin cell, structu
hammer [34]

Answer:

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.  

Explanation:

The structure found on the outside of the onion cell is the cell wall, which is specific to plants. The structure found on the outside of the skin cell is the cell membrane, which is found on all cells.

Structure X is not living, and structure Y is living.  - this is false, both animal and plant cells are living.

Structure X can be found in some human cells, and structure Y can be found in some plant cells.  - this is false, the opposite is true.

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.  - this is true structure X is the plant cell wall, and structure Y is the cell membrane

Structure X is semipermeable, and structure Y is selectively permeable. Semi-permeable and selectively permeable are essentially the same thing - it means the barrier allows some substances to pass through but not others.
