Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Synthesize \ proteins}}$

Explanation:

The ribosomes are small organelles made of RNA and proteins. Its function is the same in both prokaryotic and eukrayotic cells: <u>protein synthesis. </u>

The process begins in the nucleus. The DNA and genetic information is housed here. Certain sections are transcribed and copied to make messenger mRNAs that can fit through the nucleus and pores to travel out to the ribosomes.

The ribosomes use the mRNA in a process called translation. They match each set of 3 nucleotides (a codon) in the mRNA to 1of 20 different amino acids. A special sequence of amino acids forms, the molecule folds, and a protein is formed.

So, a ribosome is the main site for protein synthesis and the correct choice is A.

Answer:

D diffusion across a membrane

Explanation:

Based on whether or not energy input is required, there are two types of processes viz: passive and active. Passive processes are those that do not require energy input in form of ATP while active processes require energy input to occur.

An example of passive process is DIFFUSION, which is the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a membrane. Diffusion is passive i.e does not require energy, because movement occurs down a concentration gradient.

Other processes in the options like cell division, DNA replication and protein synthesis all require energy input to occur.

An area with a unifying characteristic is called a __________.

liraira [26]

An area with unifying characteristic is called as a region. The region is a broad geographic area, which is differentiated from other because of the similar features. In a region one or more than one types vegetational climax might be present. It is the continuous and extensive part of the surface. The area in a region is indefinite.

Hence, the given blank can be filled with region.
