DNA is able to fit into a cell because of its shape. DNA is a double helix that can bend and twist in all sorts of directions. An easier example to visualize is a spaghetti noodle in a bowl. Stretched out straight, it wouldn’t fit in the bowl, but once coiled or twisted up, it would conform to the shape of sand bowl. Well, DNA can coil up just like a noodle can, which gives it the ability to become compact enough to fit into the nucleus of a cell. The way DNA molecules can all fit into the cell is because they coil around histone proteins, which once in a tight enough coil, become nucleosomes which can stack to then become chromatin. That is how about 6 feet of DNA can be squeezed into a microscopic cell.

explain how the rate at which fossil fuels are transferred into the atmosphere, as shown in the diagram, has altered the carbon
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Over the past 250 year or two and a half centuries fossil fuels have been burnt at a very fast rate to meet the various human needs. These fossil fuels contains huge amount of carbon dioxide. And when these fossil fuels are burnt in power factories, power plants, cars etc. carbon moves from the fossil to the atmosphere. And since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas it traps more heat and hence there is a global temperature rise.

It is estimated that every year almost five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels. And since this amount of carbon dioxide is very huge for plants to convert all of them into oxygen via photosynthesis it leads to disbalancing in the carbon cycle that is more carbon dioxide is produced than the amount can be utilized which finally leads to rise in Earth's temperature as all of the extra carbondioxide ends up in Trapping more sun light.

Microtubules are composed of two different types of ____________ subunit that form a _______________. ​
Alborosie
Microtubules are composed of two different types of tubulin. Namely, these simpler units are called alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin. These subunits are essentially tightly bound together to form heterodimers. In the microtubule structure, they are arranged in an organized manner in such a way that they in parallel direction with protofilaments.
