Answer:
D more active metabolically
Explanation:
As a result of their surface area to volume ratio, smaller living cells are more active metabolically as transport through the cell organelles occur faster
The correct answer is "C."
mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid. The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.
After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.
The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.
Stable isotopes refers to those isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay. Oxygen atoms with atomic number of 16 and 18 are examples of stable isotopes. These isotopes of oxygen are usually found in substances such as polar ice and calcite. These substances are usaually measure with isotope fractionation and the ratios obtained are used to estimate water temperature of ancient oceans. From this, scientists can find out facts about ancient climates,
Despite the humpback whale and whale shark being similar in size, they are not as closely related as the humpback whale is to the spider monkey, which is far smaller in size. This provides evidence that size of a specie is not a good indicator of its relationship to other species.
