Answer:
The correct answer is option D. "lipid".
Explanation:
Lipids, known also as fats or oils, are organic compounds that are insoluble in water and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The formula of this question shows a biomolecule that is made up of this three atoms, and even though carbohydrate are made up of this three atoms as well, we can determine that it belongs to a lipid because it contains many more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Other characteristic of lipids is their long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are represented by the lines shown in blue. I attached the missing formula.
The correct answer is option B, that is, functional group.
A functional group refers to a part of a molecule, which is a classified/recognizable group of bound atoms. The functional group provides the molecule with its characteristics, in spite of what molecule comprises it, they are the centers of chemical reactivity. The functional groups in a molecule require to be determined when naming.
Answer:
Wheat and corn are common products of tropical plantations.
When one of the many pigments in the photosystem II absorbs light, the energy is directed inward from pigment to pigment until and unless it reaches the center of reaction. There, energy is conducted towards P680, thus, boosting an electron to a higher level of energy.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
RNAi is a cellular mechanism for post-transcriptional gene silencing. After transcription of a gene into mRNA, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) can target the mRNA to form dsRNA. This mRNA then becomes a target of ribonucleases such as the Dicer that break it apart. These mRNA, therefore, do not reach the cytoplasm for translation by ribosomes. This mechanism is hence harnessed and manipulated by scientists to study genes by silencing them.
