DNA and RNA serve what purpose within a cell and living things.

Biology
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. DNA Contains the genetic code / instructions for the cell and the living organism they build

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that contain the genetic information so that a cell knows exactly what proteins it should make, what function it should serve.

Why not A: DNA and RNA don't strictly build cellular proteins; that job is up more to the ribosome, tRNA, and mRNA. While this could be acceptable, it's not as good an answer as D.

Why not B: This is incorrect.

Why not C: DNA and RNA don't do any of the dirty work of fighting off intruders; that's the job of the immune system, building antibodies, eating the viruses with white blood cells, and using the epidermis as a barrier to keep harmful things out.

How does ATP release energy that's stored within the molecule?
Maslowich

Answer:

ATP releases energy stored within the molecule by the procedure known as ATP hydrolysis. In the hydrolysis of ATP, the energy gathered in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in ATP gets discharged due to the dissociation of these bonds, like in muscles, where work is generated in the form of mechanical energy.  

The products formed in the process are inorganic phosphate and ADP. This ADP can get further dissociated to produce AMP and another orthophosphate.

"a postsynaptic neuron will have an excitatory postsynaptic potential (epsp) when"
Tanzania [10]

When chemically-regulated sodium channels are open and sodium is diffusing into the cell a postsynaptic neuron will have an Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP). And if <span>a neurotransmitter binds to a receptor with a reversal potential that is higher than the threshold potential for the postsynaptic neuron, the postsynaptic cell will be more likely to generate an action potential and an excitatory postsynaptic potential will occur (EPSP).</span>
