This nutrient is cycled between living things and the soil. Plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation. Animals eats the plants and pass the nutrient through the food chain from one organism to another. When the animal dies, it decomposes and returns the nutrient back to the soil. The nutrient can also enter the soil through weathering and erosion.

Kidneys

Explanation:

The kidneys remove wastes and excess water in the body through the urine, as urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes located on both sides of the bladder called the ureter, and the bladder stores urine, and each of the kidneys consists of about one million filtering units called the renal tubular unit contains Each renal tubular unit has a filter called the glomerulus and tubule, and the renal tubular unit operates through a two-step process:

glomerulus: filters blood.

You are a pharmaceutical researcher trying to design a new drug for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. You are aware that an extracellular protein that is a chloride ion transporter is misfolded and never gets to the cell surface. You have a new undergraduate working with you. Explain which organelle is involved in this process and why the transporter protein is nonfunctional.

Answers

Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum is the defective organelle in most CF.

Explanation:

This is because of  mutation(deletion) in the proteins of these organelle. The CFTR  protein -a transmembrane regulator get stucked inside the E.R, thus  the  CFTR chloride protein channel is blocked. Therefore the outflow of Cl and water  out of the cell  is obstructed.

Consequently, the mucus from blocked fluid flow, clogs the lungs, the fallopian tube, sweat duct, and other places.

Which term refers to the component of hemoglobin that binds oxygen?

Answers

Answer:
Name the component of hemoglobin that binds oxygen? Heme
There’s two main components of hemoglobin- the heme and the globin. The heme contains iron and transports oxygen from the lungs into the tissues, as well as take carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. The globin is a protein that surrounds and protects the heme molecule- heme is the prosthetic group that mediates reversible bonding of oxygen by hemoglobin. Hope this helps!

DNA polymerase checks the DNA for errors and there are no complementary base pairs in DNA (Options B and C). It helps to prevent errors during DNA replication.

What is DNA replication?

DNA replication refers to the cellular process aimed at generating two identical molecules of DNA during cell division.

DNA replication is a fundamental mechanism to sure the perpetuity of genetic material (i.e., the inheritance of genetic material).

During DNA replication, most DNA polymerases check the DNA for errors, repairing errors in a mechanism known as DNA proofreading.

What is the population density if there are 40 squirrels in 4 square miles?

Answers

Answer:

10 squirrels/ square mile

Explanation:

Population density can be found by dividing the number of individuals by the area of the land they live in.

population/ land area

We want to find the population density for 40 squirrels that live in 4 square miles. Therefore, the population is 40 squirrels and the area of the land is 4 square miles.

population / land area

40 squirrel/ 4 square miles

Divide 40 by 4

40/4=10

10 squirrels/ square mile

The population density is 10 squirrels per square mile.

A.2
B.4
C.6
D.7

Answers

Answer:

6

Explanation:

To find the mean of a data set, add all the values in the set together, and then divide the result by the number of values in the set.

3 + 2 + 2 + 12 + 6 + 5 + 14 + 4 = 48

There are 8 values in the data set.

48/8 = 6

So the mean of the data set is 6.

Which part of the chemical equation is incorrect?

Answers

Answer: Thus the coefficient of oxygen is incorrect.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The given chemical equation for combustion of butane is

Thus the coefficient of oxygen is incorrect.

Do Now: b) Complete the following mRNA Strand: GCATACAGT (Be sure to look if it is asking for DNA or mRNA. DNA is GCAT and mRNA is GCAU. All answers must be in capitals when writing out bases, or the will be considered wrong.)

Answers

Answer:

CGUAUGUCA

Explanation:

Firstly, the strand in the question is a DNA strand because it contains the Thymine base, which is only found in a DNA molecule. The process of changing a DNA molecule into RNA molecule (specifically a messenger RNA) is called transcription. Transcription is done using the complementary base pairing rule, which states that Adenine (A) will always pair with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) will always pair with Cytosine (C).

In the case of transcription, the Thymine bases will change to Uracil (U), since Uracil is only found in the RNA molecule. That is, A-U and G-C. Hence, a DNA strand that reads: GCATACAGT will produce a mRNA strand CGUAUGUCA.

A scientist observes the motion of a certain type of vesicle around the cell. She notices that vesicle movement ceases when colchicine is added to the culture medium. What conclusion can she draw?

Answers

Answer:

colchicine inhibits microtubule function, it is most likely that the

vesicular movement is orchestrated or produce by microtubules.

Microtubules is organelle in the cell which give shape to the cell and help transport vessicles, granules and some organelles inside the cell.

Colchicine is a chemical substance that inhibit microtubules function and for gout treatment.

When colchicine is added to the microtubules, vessicles movement is produce by microtubules.

consider a molecule of the polymer, polyethylene, and a protein molecule as if they were strings of beads. How would the string representing polyethylene differ from that representing a protein

Answers

Answer:

When a  macromolecule contains repeated similar sub units of a particular molecule:such a repeated units are called polymers.

Therefore, polyethylene is a micromolecule of repeated subunits  called ethylene formed during polymerization..Therefore, the small units joined together to form polyethylene are ethylene.These are alkene hydrocarbons,which are similar in structure with the carbon  atoms  linked by double bonds.When the Pi bonds of the double bonds breaks. hydrogen atoms forms free covalents bonds in all these sub units.

However, polypeptides is made of of 20 different amino acids, connected by peptides, disulfide and other bonds.Therefore the protein molecules will be different from the polyethylene and polymers. This is because each of the 20 amino acids has different R-groups, and It is this  R-groups that determine the functional characteristics displayed by each amino acid sub- units.Therefore, the characteristics of a protein molecule will be determine by the type of Amino acids it contains.

Thus the beads of polyethylene will be the same, but different in proteins

Naval writes out the chemical equation for photosynthesis. She includes two reacting molecules to the left of the arrow and two resulting molecules to the right.
Light energy, above the arrow
Chlorophyll,to the left of the arrow
Enzymes, to the left of the arrow
ATP, above the arrow

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The remaining fragment that completes the question is: "What more must be added to the chemical equation to accurately represent photosynthesis? "

The answer is Light energy, above the arrow

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a metabolic reaction unique to autotrophic organisms like plants, algae etc. It is the process whereby these organisms produce their food (glucose) using light energy from the sun.

Photosynthesis cannot occur without light, as the name implies: Photo- meaning light. The sun is the source of this light energy, which photosynthetic organisms like plants capture using a green pigment called CHLOROPHYLL.

Photosynthesis is a reaction with a general equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O ---light energy-----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

However, the energy needed to perform this reaction comes from light provided by the sun. Hence, Naval needs to put LIGHT above the arrow in her equation in order to accurately represent photosynthesis.
