Read the scenario. Jake and Pari are completing a biology assignment. One of the questions asks them to determine the base amoun

ts in a sample of DNA. The students come up with the following base amounts: 10% adenine 15% thymine 40% cytosine 40% guanine

Answer:

There should be 10% thymine

Explanation:

DNA bases come in specific pairs. Guanine pairs up with cytosine and adenine pairs up with Thymine.

According to the problem the DNA sample was 40% cytosine and 40% guanine, so this is correct, there are equal amounts of cytosine and guanine. Now Thymine needs to have equal amounts as adenine, but adenine only has 10%.

If we match up the amount of adenine to thymine, we would have 15% adenine and 15% thymine, but that would excede 100%. So you need to match the thymine to adenine.

10% adenine + 10 % thymine + 40% cytosine + 40% guanine = 100%

Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body are called:
hichkok12 [17]
They're called Enzyme. They're made up of proteins. They act as a biological catalysts that can speed up chemical reaction. They have an active site that certain substrates binds into it and form a product. Enzyme works under optimum pH and temperature and the active sites are not changed unless denatured.

To test the hypothesis that mussels are osmoconformers, researchers exposed mussels to water of varying osmolarities and then dr
inn [45]

The question is incomplete, I included an attachment that completes the question as well as show the options to be chosen from.

Answer: YES, SUPPORTED

Explanation: When we talk of Osmoconformers, we are talking of the organisms that live in the marine habitat.

These Osmoconformers have the tendency of maintaining their internal fluid isotonic that is isotonic to their external environment in church they live. They have an osmotic pressure that is equal to the osmotic pressure of their surrounding environment.

In the table provided in the attachment section,it clearly stated as we can see the increase in osmolarity of water,the haemolymph osmolarity increase in order to maintain isotonic realtion so that,there will be no much exosmosis (osmosis).

Bacteria and fungi are found in all ecosystems on earth answer
Ivanshal [37]

The answer is; true

These microbes are usually adapted to their environment and this is why they are found in virtually all ecosystems. You will find bacteria even at the bottom of deep ocean beds deep and in geothermal vents, hypersaline water and very cold regions (such as polar regions).  Fungi which vary widely in size from microscopically small to the largest organisms such as mushrooms are also found in virtually all environments on earth. They are nonetheless different species of these groups adapted to their environments.
