Answer:
The answer is GLUCOSE.
Explanation:
Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.
If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.
The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.
The answer is stem cells. Normal stem cells and germ cells can also be said to be immortal
Answer:
C. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Disruptive selection occurs when two extremes of continuous variation are favored more than intermediate traits.
The extremes of continuous variation exhibited in this species of snail is the color of their shell which allows them to blend with the background of their habitat.
The shady forest of the habitat makes the dark-shelled individuals to be better hidden from bird predators, while the light-shelled individuals are better hidden in well-lit brushy edge areas. This disruptive coloration exhibited by both individuals makes both individuals of this species of snail less vulnerable to predation.
Both individuals of this species both extremities would naturally survive in this habitat as snails with intermediate extremities would be highly preyed on since there is no area of intermediate brightness in the habitat to make them invisible to predators
Answer:
The correct answer is - can be explained by the law of dominance.
Explanation:
In this experiment of Gregory John Mendel where he made a cross between a purebred tall plant and a purebred dwarf plant and in the first generation all the offspring were tall.
It can be explained by that every offspring get one allele from both parents and in purebred both alleles are either dominant or recessive and both parent plant gives one allele which makes a heterozygous condition in which the dominant allele masks the recessive allele and offspring express phenotype of the dominant parent.

Answer:
Clockwise from bottom
3. formation of mRNA in the nucleus
6. secretion of hormone by tissue
4. initiation of DNA replication because of a signal given by the hormone
2. synthesis of protein molecule by mRNA and tRNA
1. secretion of protein by the cell
5. binding of the hormone molecule with its receptor of the cell
Explanation:
The tissue in the top left releases a hormone. For example, a steroid hormone such as estrogen, which can impact gene expression at the level of transcription. This hormone then travels to a different cell to carry out its function. The hormone is able to enter the cell and binds receptors which recognise it. In this case, these receptors are present in the nuclear envelope. When the hormone has bound the receptor, it initiates a signalling cascade that the cell responds to.
In this case, the effect of the signal from the hormone is to initiate DNA replication. This is a common effect of hormones such as growth factors that signal the cells to proliferate.
The initiation of the signalling can also affect how genes are expressed. In this case, an mRNA is produced in the nucleus, which is created as a result of transcription. This mRNA molecule then moves to the cytoplasm, where it becomes translated into a polypeptide sequence at a ribosome, with the help from transfer RNAs (tRNAs).
This polypeptide forms a mature protein by progressive folding and potential modifications, and is released by the cell to perform its functions.
