Answer:

Metabolism - the chemical process within a living organism in order to maintain life

Explanation:

The common use it 'my metabolism is really slow/fast', usually heard in fitness and diet communities. The biggest difference is that, while metabolism does deal with the burning of energy from food, it really covers the processes using all materials such as water, food, nutrients, and oxygen in the cells to produce the body's energy.

Differentiate between arteries and veins
AfilCa [17]
Arteries carry blood (with oxygen) from our heart out to your body, while veins carry blood (without oxygen) from your body to your heart. Arteries are strong, flexible blood vessels that are able to expand (get bigger) and contract (get smaller). They expand as your heart beats, and contract between heart beats. Veins are less flexible than arteries. They have valves (doors) that open and close to let blood through.

cricket20 [7]

Answer: D- Dicer

Explanation:

Dicer, also known as endoribonuclease Dicer or helicase with RNase motif, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DICER1 gene. Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, respectively. These fragments are approximately 20-25 base pairs long with a two-base overhang on the 5' ends. Dicer facilitates the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is essential for RNA interference. RISC has a catalytic component Argonaute, which is an endonuclease capable of degrading messenger RNA (mRNA).
