Both bases need to twist hard to facilitate the hydrogen bond which is energetically expensive event; thus hydrogen bonds forming functional groups are not complementary in adenine and cytosine

The hydrogen bonds forming functional groups are not complementary in adenine and cytosine. it also has to do with structure because adenine and guanine are purines and cytosine and thymine are pyrimidines.

DNA is transcribed into RNA, then RNA is translated into amino acids we can build into proteins
Rama09 [41]
During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.

Explain the need for ventilation systems in a multicellular organism
babunello [35]
Ventilation systems are needed in a <span>multicellular organism to actually obtain oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. Without this ventilation system, it would be very difficult for multicellular organisms to survive. It has been also observed that surface diffusion is not enough for a multicellular organism to breath.</span>

How do cells repair themselves?
alex41 [277]
Multicellular organisms grow by producing more cells. As children, we get taller every year. That growth happens only because our bodies keep adding new cells. A sapling becomes a tree for the same reason.

But even after an organism grows up, its cells continue to divide. That's because cells wear out or get damaged.
