First, I read that so incorrectly. Awkward.

An organism's environment affects its physical and self traits by making them adapt. Charles Darwin had discovered this theory with the finches. Places that were harder to get food would make these finches physical change over evolution to help them survive. It changes the animals habits depending on their resources. If a bird eats berries but there is no berries then the bird will have to change its diet or it will die.

Answer:

Cellulose - It is described as a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in most plants and is important in the manufacture of numerous products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

Chlorophyll - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

Chloroplast - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.

Bryophyte - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

Pterophyte - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

Gymnosperm - Any plant such as a conifer whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary or those who don't bear seeds or fruits. Example; Cycads.

Cone - A cone-shaped flower head of various plants like banksias and proteas.

Angiosperm - Any flowering plant characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary and thus, produces fruits, as well as, seeds.

Flower - A reproductive structure in angiosperms and often conspicuously colorful and typically including sepals, petals, and either or both stamens and/or a pistil.

Cuticle - A noncellular protective covering outside the many invertebrates and plants.

Vascular tissue - The complex tissues that consist of various cell types and primarily responsible for transporting liquid and other nutrients throughout the plant or animal body.

Xylem - A vascular tissue in the land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals that are taken up by the roots and also the key component of the wood.

Phloem - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

Roots - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

Root hairs - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

Stems - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

Leaves - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

Photosynthesis - The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. For example; Plants use air, water, along with sunlight to synthesize their food(carbohydrates and waste oxygen).

Which is needed for one nerve to communicate with another nerve across a synapse?

VashaNatasha [74]

Synaptic cleft or the terminal buttons that transmits neurotransmitters to the next neuron, received by its dendrites and is relayed now throughout the system until it reaches the brain.
The messages must travel the distance of the nerves to the brain which are processed and made decisions, from the distance of the nerves from the sense organs, then travel back to the muscles that need to respond through the nerves.

In order to make a protein the messenge on DNA must be converted to what?

Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

-mRNA or messenger RNA

DNA wound into chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand.

Further Explanation:

Nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They differ from other macromolecules since they don’t provide the body with energy. They exist solely to encode and protein synthesis.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, P; they contain phosphate group 5 carbon sugar, these nitrogen bases which may contain single to double bond ring.

Nucleic acids like DNA stores all of an organism’s genetic information. Nucleic acid molecules comprise the nitrogenous bases Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine and Thymine. Conversely, RNA nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil. These pair up as base pairs due to their varied structure- largely influenced by the location of N molecule.

In certain combinations, these bases form codons which act as instructions for protein synthesis. Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding an amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis.

RNA codons determine certain amino acids, so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made bus with the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Guanine, Cysteine and Uracil). Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG begins protein synthesis.

Thus, these contribute to the broad diversity of living organisms, as varied combinations of these 64 codons can produce many proteins which can be organized into cells, tissues and organisms.
