Answer: transporting substances in a cell
Why: In eukaryotic cells, endomembrane system refers to the set of membranes present inside the cytoplasm which form single functional and developmental unit. The membranes are either connected directly or indirectly and exchange material with the help of vesicle transport. The main function of this system is to modify, pack and transport the proteins and lipids in and out of the cell. The main organelles which form the endomembrane system are- nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.
EXPLANATION:
There are 2 types of nucleic acids: DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA(ribonucleic acid).
Living organisms have their genetic material in their DNA. Viruses use RNA as their genetic material but are usually called non-living things( because they can't reproduce without help from a host).
The function of nucleic acids has a progression from DNA to RNA to proteins. This is called the central dogma of molecular biology.
Nucleic acids are formed by a linkage of polynucleotide chains with phosphodiester bonds. These polynucleotide chains are formed from monomers called NUCLEOTIDES.
A nucleotide is made up of 3 parts:
i) a nitrogenous base
ii) a five-carbon sugar
iii) at least one phosphate group.
Eukaryotes have a nucleus with a membrane, larger ribosomal subunits, usually reproduce sexually, and may not have a cell wall. Prokaryotes have no membrane around the nucleus, smaller ribosomal subunits, reproduce asexually, and do have cell walls.
What is the choices for the blank?
Water had the capability to hold up the thin overhang of the underground.
When water is depleted, there is nothing to support this overhang, which eventually led to the formation of sinkholes.
As for the collective behavior, it's all because of the scarcity. Water is one of human's basic needs to survive. When water is scarce, this will force the people to compete with one another to obtain it, which will cause the behavior
