Answer:
Active transport
Explanation:
The molecules are moving from a low concentration to a high concentration across a cell membrane via a protein. ATP is used in this reaction.
We know it cannot be diffusion, facilitated diffusion, passive transport, or osmosis, because these are all passive processes. In the picture, the molecules are moving against their concentration gradient and uses energy.
It cannot be endocytosis or exocytosis, as there are no vesicles.
Active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient. ATP is used to supply the energy for this process.
The most important idea is that the genetic material of any organism must be able to accurately replicate itself at least every generation (or for multicellular organisms at each cell division).
Base pairing (A-T or U and C-G)allows DNA and RNA (eg in polio virus, see Wikipedia page on RNA dependent RNA polymerase) to create a copy of themselves, when the appropriate enzymes are present. Proteins have no way of making a copy of themselves.
Stability is probably the main reason DNA is the most common genetic material. DNA has no enzymatic activity and was probably selected for to maintain the integrity of the genetic material (rather than having to perform a function for the cell/virus, during which it may be destroyed). The double helix structure also protects its integrity, and proofreading enzymes have also evolved which correct most of the mistakes made at DNA replication. RNA viruses don't have this mechanism- which could be said to be an advantage (as they can rapidly change and therefore avoid their hosts' immune systems), however in non-parasitic organisms most mutations in a gene would lead to a loss of an essential function and the extinction of that genome.
I don't think either of these reasons are relevant, but I think the main reasons retroviruses convert their RNA to DNA are so they can use the host cell's replication machinery (this was they do not need to encode as many genes), and secondly they need avoid the antiviral mechanisms of the cell, which would destroy any double stranded RNA molecules found (even if the virus was single stranded, dsRNA would have to be produced at replication).
Answer:
B or C depending on if there is a fish on the food chain
(most likely C though)
Explanation:
consumers are things that eat other things
producers are things that make energy for themselves and they can survive off that energy (anything that does photosynthesis)
Algae does photosynthesis. so A and D is wrong
B and C could be the right answers depending on if a fish is shown.
any item above another item with a like drawn to it in a food web is a consumer
producers are at the very bottom of the food web.
Strenuous muscular is just a fancy way to say exercise. As the muscles are used more often the need more oxygen, so that is why your breathing rate increases while doing "exercise".
