Amino acids form proteins
Answer: A cell is defined as the smallest functional units of the body
Explanation:
These cells are grouped together to form tissues, each of which has a specialised function, example blood, muscles, bone. Different tissues are grouped together to form organs with a special function. For example heart is an organ made up of muscles tissue, connective tissue, nervous tissue and vascular tissue. These tissues work in a coordinated manner and enable the heart to carry out the broader function of pumping blood continuously.
While organs are grouped together to form systems, each of which performs a particular function that maintains the body Internal environment and contribute to the health of the individual. For example the digestive system is responsible for taking in, digesting and absorbing food which involves a number of organs, including the stomach and intestines.
Therefore the statement that 'organs are large structures that keeps us alive" is a correct claim.
Answer:
1)Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
2) The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion
3)onic bonds are important because they allow the synthesis of specific organic compounds. Scientists can manipulate ionic properties and these interactions in order to form desired products. Covalent bonds are especially important since most carbon molecules interact primarily through covalent bonding.
Explanation:
Answer: The organism that has the adaptations described that enable it to survive in the tundra is the POLAR BEAR.
Explanation:
ADAPTATION is defined as the process by which an organism becomes fitted to its environment thereby enabling the organism to live successfully and reproduce.
In any population, an organism is able to survive if it has features that help them to fit and compete successfully in that environment.
From the question, a typical example was given concerning the POLAR BEAR (Ursus maritimus) and it's best fitted environment which is the tundra.
The tundra is a type of biome that is treeless marshy vegetation which is composed mainly of dwarf shrubs. It's has a cold climate (Arctic region) with long icy winters and very short summer with an average temperature of 10°C.
Ursus maritimus has a variety of adaptations which enable it to survive in the tundra. These adaptations include:
--> The presence of a thick coat of insulated WHITE FUR: this helps it to survive the cold environment by acting as an effective insulator. The fur is also found at the base of its large paws with small bumps, which protects it against cold surfaces and provides its with a better grip of ice as it walks across it. It also gives it a concealing coloration making it unnoticed while it stalks its prey in the snow. These are the features that enables it survive the terrestrial environment if tundra.
--> it also has some aquatic adaptations which enables it to hunt it's favourite food which is seals. The presence of large front paws which are slightly webbed allows them swim for a long distance in search of food.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. "A single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA".
Explanation:
Genetic code is said to be "degenerate" because there are more codons than amino acids, which is possible because a single tRNA specific for a particular amino acid may respond to multiple codons in an mRNA. tRNA recognize the codons of the mRNA by a specific nucleotide sequence called anticodon, however the nucleotide sequence of the anticodon can recognize more than one codon sequence. This phenomenon takes place at the third position of the codon and is known as "wobble".
