Answer:

The correct answer is option C- constructing cell membranes.

Explanation:

Life cannot exist without the presence of water as life evolved in the water itself. When life moved from water to land, organisms evolved mechanisms to maintain the water content which organism perform even today. This happens because:

1. Maintain the turgor pressure of the cell through osmosis which controls many important functions in a cell like opening and closing of stomata.

2. Waste elimination- about 95% of urine is water.

3. Supplying oxygen and nutrients- as blood constitutes 55% blood plasma of which 92 % is water.

But the cell membrane or plasma membrane is hydrophobic in composition which separates the internal material from the aqueous environment outside.

Thus, option C- constructing cell membranes is the correct answer.

What is the source of the genetic information that determines the traits of a Pacific tree frog?
Tema [17]
The answer to the question above is letter D. <span>Chromosomes found in the cell nucleus.</span>
In the cell nucleus, DNA is tightly packed into the thread-like structure known as chromosomes. Every chromosome is made up of tightly coiled DNA around proteins (histones) that support its structure. Chromosomes are not visible when there is no cell division. It cannot be seen in the cell’s nucleus nor under the finest microscope. They are only visible when the cell is dividing and is apparently visible under a microscope.

shusha [124]

Answer:

a) allosteric site

Explanation:

An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme other than the active site where a molecule that is not a substrate binds. This changes the shape of the enzyme, making it harder for the substrate to bind and inhibits enzyme activity.

Hope that helps.
