Answer:

Proteins are responsible for the <u>mass </u>and <u>fat </u>of much of our bodies (and other organisms). The instructions for making protein are encoded in <u>DNA</u>. These genes provide the sequence of building blocks known as <u>nucleotides</u>. This string of amino acids then folds into different shapes. The structure of proteins determines what a <u>molecule </u>can do. Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. ​

Explanation:

<em>Kindly pardon me: I ain't so sure of the first two answers.</em>

What are Nitrogen Bases?
LenaWriter [7]
A nitrogenous base, or nitrogen-containing base, is an organic molecule with a nitrogen atom that has the chemical properties of a base. The main biological function of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids together. A nitrogenous base owes its basic properties to the lone pair of electrons of a nitrogen atom.

The second electron transport chain ends with a(n) ______ that creates NADPH.
mote1985 [20]
1. The right answer is enzymes
NADPH are molecules which are produced during reduction of metabolites (for example glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism...)

2. The right answer is enzymes.
<span>The dark reactions (carbon cycle) act by the reduction of carbon dioxides (CO2) to the level of a carbohydrate (like fructose).
</span>
3. The right answer is ATP.
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is a nucleotide of the purine family used to store and transport energy (purines are nitrogenous bases).

4. The right answer is the Calvin cycle.
The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in plant chloroplasts. The Calvin cycle makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.

5. The right answer is NADH
The overall assessment of glycolysis is:Glucose + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + 2 NAD + -----> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 H2O + 2 NADH
As we can see, the glycolysis produce indeed 2NADH from a reduction of metabolites during the process.

6. The right answer is Glycolysis.
Glycolysis is the first chain of carbohydrate catabolism, it is carried out in the cytosol by soluble enzymes and anaerobically (without oxygen supply). Its function is the synthesis of a molecule rich in energy, as well as the formation of pyruvate which will have several destinies, including the Krebs cycle.
<span>The Krebs cycle (or tricarboxylic cycle or citric acid cycle) is the energy platform of the cell, continuing the catabolism of carbohydrates after glycolysis. It is realized in the mitochondrial matrix and is done exclusively in aerobic.</span>

Imagine that part of a population of South American finches is blown by a storm onto an island far offshore and manages to survi
lina2011 [118]

Answer: The observation "A" leads us to conclude that the finches populations are from two different species

Explanation:

According to the biological concept of species, <em>a set of individuals are from the same species if they are able to reproduce and leave fertile offspring</em>. This is key so one species can be successful and perpetuate through time. If they cannot leave descendants, then the species will be extinct. However, it’s possible that two individuals from different species mate and have descendants, but they cannot leave fertile offspring. When they are from different species, the offspring will be sterile and it is called a hybrid.  

In the case of the South American finch, the island's finch population and mainland's finch population belong to different species because their offspring is sterile. To have different features, as different feather's color, or to have other dietary preference is not enough to say that they are different species. This is because within the same species, individuals can have variations. For example, we can different eye color and belong to the same species.
