An early experiment by Van Helmont (1600s) describes how he "grew a tree in a large pot and found that after five years, the amo

unt of soil in the pot had not changed. He concluded that the increase in weight was due to the addition of water." At that time, the compounds in the air had not yet been identified. Today, you know that he only discovered half the story. Which additional experiment would provide evidence for the rest of the story?
A. A very careful audit of the water taken in and lost by the tree would have revealed only half the added weight gained by the tree.
B. Carbon is discovered as a major element in trees and is lacking in water molecules.
C. Radioactive carbon in CO2 in the air is soon located as part of tree structures.
D. The critical experiment involves the conversion of nutrients in the soil.
E. All but the nutrient conversion is correct.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Organisms use various strategies and adaptations to regulate body temperature and metabolism. The organisms control the exchange of heat by various ways which include physiological, behavioural means  and by insulation.

The factors which play most important role in the heat exchange  regulation between environment and organism are as follows:

  • effective temperature difference  between organism and environment
  • Exposed surface area
  • Evaporatory and circulatory changes

<u>Insulation</u> :Another most common method used for heat exchange.Animals who have furs,feathers and fat layers which play significant role in insulation. They are very much important because they reduce heat exchange amount between environment and organism. The most common example is of Cats. They used to curl up their bodies when they want to sleep in cold environment, they tuck their bodies in their paws and legs, and they wasp their tails around their bodies. When organism uses the food and oxygen the body temperature begins to increase, this method is known as metabolic heat production.

a dna strand is aacgtaacg . what will be the sequence of the mrna? uug ugc aacgtaacg atgcatgc aacgtaacg
tamaranim1 [39]

The sequence of mRNA for a DNA strand AACGTAACG will be UUGCAUUGC.

Central dogma can be described as a process by which information in the DNA is transcribed into mRNA and then changed into proteins.

For a strand of DNA, a complementary mRNA strand is made in order to decode the information in this strand of DNA into mRNA.

The pairing is done as follows: Adenine pairs with Uracil, and Guanine pairs with Cytosine for forming the mRNA transcripts. The nucleotide thymine is absent in mRNA.

Hence, for the strand AACGTAACG, the mRNA strand will be UUGCAUUGC.
