The answer is B. When diatoms die and fall off the ocean column to the ocean floor, they become part of sediments over time. When they are mined and exposed, they turn to a diatomite. Diatomaceous earth is significant as a pest repellant because of its hygroscopic property and has very abrasive particle hence it absorbs the water-protective fats and oils from the outermost layer of insects.

Explain why an mRNA transcribed from the template strand of the SIRT3 gene in normal stomach ( NS ) cells is translated to produ
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

The double-stranded DNA molecule has the  potential to store genetic information in either strand, although in  most organisms <u>only one strand is used to encode any particular gene</u>.  

The template strand is the non-coding strand. The coding strand of DNA is the non-template (mRNA-like) strand (see attachment).

Thus, genetic  information is expressed by transcription of the non-coding (template) strand  of DNA, <u>which produces an mRNA molecule that has the same sequence  as the coding strand of DNA</u>. Therefore, if a mRNA is transcribed from the non-template strand, the genetic information will not be contained in that strand and it would not produce a correct protein.

Eating is important to your body because molecules in food contain_________ energy that cells use to produce ATP and it also sup
oee [108]


Food molecules contain chemical energy which is released when its chemical bonds are broken.

Food undergoes  digestion in the digestive system and is broken down into its monomer units. Carbohydrates, which are the principal source of energy, are broken down into glucose. Glucose is the monomer unit of carbohydrates.

Glucose then is taken up by cells and is used in cellular respiration, which involves three main stages namely glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, through which a glucose molecule is processed to form at least 36 molecules of ATP.

ATP is the form of energy that cells use.
