*Glomerulus* -The tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Can also be known as Glomeruli.
Answer:
In the process of photosynthesis, trees tend to take up carbon dioxide and water and convert it into oxygen and glucose. In this way, trees help in reducing the amount of carbon dioxide from the air which is otherwise a source of global warming. The process of photosynthesis also yields oxygen which is beneficial for life on earth.
The trees also store carbon inside them hence, reducing global warming. The more the trees, the more will be the chances of carbon being reduced from the atmosphere and being stored in the trees.
Plant processes like transpiration help to lower the temperature around them. Hence, more the trees, lesser will be the rise in temperature.
Answer:
option B
Explanation:
The correct answer is option B
Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life and possess genes. These genes evolve to carry out new biological functions in the body.
Cells undergo division and growth whether it be unicellular organisms or multi cellular organisms.
All cells possess the property of compartmentalization and metabolism henceforth taking up nutritive material from the environment.
These nutrients are further transformed into the cell compartments and the waste produced as a result is expelled out thus forming on open system.
Answer:
A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.
B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.
C. Prions are proteins.
Explanation:
Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.
Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.
The name you're looking for is Gregor Mendel. He first saw it in his experiments with peas that had different traits (leaves, stem, colour, texture) etc.
Hope it helps!
