Answer:

According to the diagram shown, the section of DNA used to make the mRNA strand is known as a gene (option 2).

Explanation:

Gene consists of a DNA fragment that codes for the synthesis of a specific protein that defines the structural or functional trait of a living being.

When DNA is transcribed into mRNA, each section of transcribed DNA is part of a gene. The information travels to ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.

A complete DNA molecule forms a chromosome, which contains the genes with information to define specific traits of a species.

The other options are not correct because:

1.Carbohydrate is a biomolecule that is not involved in the genetic process.

3. Ribosome is where protein synthesis occurs.

4. Chromosome is the complete DNA molecule.

Some organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies, have a large and folded structure. What is an advantage of

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In endoplasmic reticulum, many folds leads to an increase in surface area for ribosomes to attach which allows for protein synthesis to occur at an efficient rate.

mitochondria has two membrane,

It has an inner membrane which is folded inside the other. The fold create cristae, which is the site for a portion of cellular respiration.

The folds also enables a large surface area that makes chemical process to occur in an efficient way.

Which of the following is not recycled once it passes from producer to consumer to decomposer

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Energy is not recycled once it passes from producer to consumer to decomposer.

The energy flow in an ecosystem in the form of food from one organism to other is food chain. It comprises mainly of three types of organisms producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs and decomposers. The energy flow in food chain or food web is unidirectional from plants which are the primary producers to primary consumers or herbivores, then to secondary consumers or carnivores and finally to the decomposers. On its unidirectional flow the energy is lost in different form such as heat loss, decay, respiration etc. The energy passed from one level to another is not the same and gets lost in the process so when the energy is received from one tropic level to another it is always less than that received by the previous tropic level.
