Answer:

Transcription begins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins). RNA polymerase uses one of the DNA strands (the template strand) as a template to make a new, complementary RNA molecule. Transcription ends in a process called termination.

Explanation:

Transcription Initiation. The first step in transcription is initiation, when the RNA pol binds to the DNA upstream (5′) of the gene at a specialized sequence called a promoter (Figure 2a). In bacteria, promoters are usually composed of three sequence elements, whereas in eukaryotes, there are as many as seven elements ...

dexar [7]

A nephron<span> is the basic unit of the kidneys and one of its functions is to filter substances in the blood and excreting urine. The correct order of where urine flows in a nephron is: </span><span>glomerulus, next to proximal convoluted tubule, then to loop of henle, then to distal convoluted tubule, lastly collecting duct. This process is important in homeostasis.</span>

What is the major function of the endomembrane system?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

B. transporting substances in a cell

Explanation:

Endomembrane system is basically a system or organelles and membranes in eukaryotic cells, which is involved in packaging, modifying and transporting the proteins and lipids across the cell.

Many organelles and membranes play role in this system like lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies and nuclear membrane.

Note: Chloroplasts, Mitochondria and peroxisomes are not part of endomembrane system.

You can see figure depicting endomembrane system for better understanding.
