Answer:

X in the diagram represents the cell membrane and performs the function of regulates the transport of materials.

Explanation:

The cell membrane, marked with X in the diagram, is a lipid bilayer with hydrophobic properties, which acts as a semi-permeable membrane to the passage of substances.

This membrane, that covers the cell and keeps it isolated from the extracellular space, has the function of controlling or regulating the passage of materials from the extracellular to the intracellular space, as well as the exit of substances from the interior of the cell. To fulfill this function it has several alternatives of transmembrane transport.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The cell membrane does not </em><em><u>control the energy released</u></em><em>. </em>
  • <em><u>Protein synthesis</u></em><em> occurs in the rugged endoplasmic reticulum. </em>
  • <em><u>Cellulose synthesis</u></em><em> occurs inside the cell, a process dependent on photosynthesis.</em>

An RNA sequence includes 12 nitrogenous bases, AUGGUGCAUGUC. What is the maximum number of amino acids for which this sequence c
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

In the mRNA sequence AUGGUGCAUGUC the maximum number of amino acids that can be encoded is 4 (option A).

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has a sequence of nitrogenous bases produced by the transcription of a DNA strand. This sequence of bases is organized in triplets or codons —made up of 3 nitrogenous bases— that can encode an amino acid, or mark the beginning or end —STOP codon—of protein synthesis.

From the sequence:

AUGGUGCAUGUC

Four codons are obtained, each of which encodes a different amino acid:

<em>Codons:          AUG-GUG-CAU-GUC</em>

<em>Amino acids:  Met - Val - His - Val</em>

<em>Methionine Valine Histidina and Valine are the four amino acids encoded by the 12 nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.</em>

Art [367]

Answer:

The complimentary strand of codons would be CAG-UAC-AAA-UCA-AGG-GAU-AUC.

Explanation:

C (Cytosine) pairs to G (Guanine).

Think of it as *C*ar in the *G*arage.

A (Adenine) pairs to U (Uracil).

Think of it as *A*pples *U*nder the tree.

What is the starfish experiment?​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

When starfish were removed from their environment, the species richness of that area went down. This was because the starfish ate the mussels, and when the starfish were removed, the mussels became abundant and preyed on many of the other species.

This experiment showed that the starfish were a keystone species. A keystone species is a species that has a low biomass but a large impact on the community they are living in.
