Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B.

Explanation:

The diversity of numbers of proteins in the human body is due to the differences in the structure of proteins. This change or difference in the structure of proteins is mainly affected by the sequence of amino acids.

The order of sequence of amino acid segment or residue in the peptide chain of the protein affects the structure of the particular protein which also leads to change in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

2. environment

3. sun

4. photosynthesis

5. chemical

6. producers

7. food

8. energy

9. organisms

10. herbivores

10. first

12. Heterotrophs

13. second

Explanation:

An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms interacting  with each other and the environment. The source of energy that fuels most ecosystems is the sun. Plants use the Sun’s energy to produce food in a process called photosynthesis.

Organisms that use energy from the Sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs. They are also called producers because most other organisms depend on autotrophs for food and energy. Heterotrophic organisms that can’t make their own food may obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called an herbivore. Herbivores are also called first order heterotrophs. Heterotrophs that feed on other herbivores are second order heterotrophs.
