Answer:

Living things are highly organized and structured, following a hierarchy that can be examined on a scale from small to large. The atom is the smallest and most fundamental unit of matter. It consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Atoms form molecules. A molecule is a chemical structure consisting of at least two atoms held together by one or more chemical bonds. Many molecules that are biologically important are macromolecules, large molecules that are typically formed by polymerization (a polymer is a large molecule that is made by combining smaller units called monomers, which are simpler than macromolecules). An example of a macromolecule is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (Figure 1), which contains the instructions for the structure and functioning of all living organisms.

Some cells contain aggregates of macromolecules surrounded by membranes; these are called organelles. Organelles are small structures that exist within cells. Examples of organelles include mitochondria and chloroplasts, which carry out indispensable functions: mitochondria produce energy to power the cell, while chloroplasts enable green plants to utilize the energy in sunlight to make sugars. All living things are made of cells; the cell itself is the smallest fundamental unit of structure and function in living organisms. (This requirement is why viruses are not considered living: they are not made of cells. To make new viruses, they have to invade and hijack the reproductive mechanism of a living cell; only then can they obtain the materials they need to reproduce.) Some organisms consist of a single cell and others are multicellular. Cells are classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotes are single-celled or colonial organisms that do not have membrane-bound nuclei or organelles; in contrast, the cells of eukaryotes do have membrane-bound organelles and a membrane-bound nucleus.

In larger organisms, cells combine to make tissues, which are groups of similar cells carrying out similar or related functions. Organs are collections of tissues grouped together performing a common function. Organs are present not only in animals but also in plants. An organ system is a higher level of organization that consists of functionally related organs. Mammals have many organ systems. For instance, the circulatory system transports blood through the body and to and from the lungs; it includes organs such as the heart and blood vessels. Organisms are individual living entities. For example, each tree in a forest is an organism. Single-celled prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes are also considered organisms and are typically referred to as microorganisms.

All the individuals of a species living within a specific area are collectively called a population. For example, a forest may include many pine trees. All of these pine trees represent the population of pine trees in this forest. Different populations may live in the same specific area. For example, the forest with the pine trees includes populations of flowering plants and also insects and microbial populations. A community is the sum of populations inhabiting a particular area. For instance, all of the trees, flowers, insects, and other populations in a forest form the forest’s community. Keep in mind that the community level only consists of living organisms. The forest itself is an ecosystem; this is the first level that contains non-living aspects of a given area that impact the living things in that environment. An ecosystem consists of all the living things in a particular area together with the abiotic, non-living parts of that environment such as nitrogen in the soil or rain water. At the highest level of organization (Figure 2), the biosphere is the collection of all ecosystems, and it represents the zones of life on earth. It includes land, water, and even the atmosphere to a certain extent.

Why is it important that scientists haven’t identified a lokiarcheota as a cell yet?
ANTONII [103]
It's important because we need the scientists to discover where it is. the lokiarchaeota is a main cause for infections, and diseases, and if we identify it, and study it, we may know how to cure certain diseases, and how to prevent them.

which of the following is not an abiotic factor in the prairie ecosystem a water b sunlight c grass d soil​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Grass

Explanation:

Biotic means living. There are some obvious abiotic factors here. The only gray area is what "soil" encompasses

grass-Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

This is because it is a living thing (performs photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

The role of phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates in membranes
SOVA2 [1]

Membrane proteins can function as enzymes to speed up chemical reactions, act as receptors for specific molecules, or transport materials across the cell membrane. Carbohydrates, or sugars, are sometimes found attached to proteins or lipids on the outside of a cell membrane.

Darina [25.2K]
<em>ATP stands for denosine tri phosphate ..
<u>formation:
</u>it is formed in the respiration ..also 36 molecules of ATP are formed during break down of 1 glucose molecule ..
<u>function:
</u>its function is to provide energy  ,, 
<u>how it provides energy:
</u>when one phosphate molecule separate ATP is converted into ADP and energy is released..
and when one phosphate is separated from ADP AMP is formed and energy is released ..
