Question 20 of 34 Which of the following do all living things share? O A. All living things are made of the same elements. O B. All living things think. ОО C. All living things breathe oxygen. O D. All living things move.

Answers

Answer:

All living things think.

Explanation:

all living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

3. Which organs are responsible for
protecting the body? How?

Answers

Answer:

Primary lymphoid organs: These organs include the bone marrow and the thymus. They create special immune system cells called lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs: These organs include the lymph nodes, the spleen, the tonsils and certain tissue in various mucous membrane layers in the body (for instance in the bowel)

Explanation:

Bone marrow is a sponge-like tissue found inside the bones. That is where most immune system cells are produced and then also multiply. These cells move to other organs and tissues through the blood. At birth, many bones contain red bone marrow, which actively creates immune system cells. Over the course of our life, more and more red bone marrow turns into fatty tissue. In adulthood, only a few of our bones still contain red bone marrow, including the ribs, breastbone and the pelvis.

The thymus is located behind the breastbone above the heart. This gland-like organ reaches full maturity only in children, and is then slowly transformed to fatty tissue. Special types of immune system cells called thymus cell lymphocytes (T cells) mature in the thymus. Among other tasks, these cells coordinate the processes of the innate and adaptive immune systems. T cells move through the body and constantly monitor the surfaces of all cells for changes.

Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped tissues found along the lymphatic vessels. The lymph nodes act as filters. Various immune system cells trap germs in the lymph nodes and activate the creation of special antibodies in the blood. Swollen or painful lymph nodes are a sign that the immune system is active, for example to fight an infection.

The bowel plays a central role in defending the body against germs: More than half of all the body's cells that produce antibodies are found in the bowel wall, especially in the last part of the small bowel and in the appendix. These cells detect foreign substances, and then mark and destroy them. They also save information about the substances in order to be able to react more quickly the next time. The large bowel also contains harmless bacteria called gastrointestinal or gut flora. Healthy gut flora make it difficult for germs to spread and enter the body.

Mucous membranes support the immune system in other parts of the body, too, such as the respiratory and urinary tracts, and the lining of the vagina. The immune system cells are directly beneath the mucous membranes, where they prevent bacteria and viruses from attaching.

The tonsils are also part of the immune system. Because of their location at the throat and palate, they can stop germs entering the body through the mouth or the nose. The tonsils also contain a lot of white blood cells, which are responsible for killing germs. There are different types of tonsils: palatine tonsils, adenoids and the lingual tonsil. All of these tonsillar structures together are sometimes called Waldeyer's ring since they form a ring around the opening to the throat from the mouth and nose.

There is also lymphatic tissue on the side of the throat, which can perform the functions of the palatine tonsils if they are removed.

The spleen is located in the left upper abdomen, beneath the diaphragm, and is responsible for different kinds of jobs:

It stores various immune system cells. When needed, they move through the blood to other organs. Scavenger cells (phagocytes) in the spleen act as a filter for germs that get into the bloodstream.
It breaks down red blood cells (erythrocytes).
It stores and breaks down platelets (thrombocytes), which are responsible for the clotting of blood, among other things.
There is always a lot of blood flowing through the spleen tissue. At the same time this tissue is very soft. In the event of severe injury, for example in an accident, the spleen may rupture easily. Surgery is then usually necessary because otherwise there is a danger of bleeding to death. If the spleen needs to be removed completely, other immune system organs can carry out its roles.

What is an example of a symbiotic organism?

Answers

Answer:

The symbiotic relationship between an anemone (Heteractis magnifica) and a clownfish (Amphiron ocellaris) is a classic example of two organisms benefiting the other; the anemone provides the clownfish with protection and shelter, while the clownfish provides the anemone nutrients in the form of waste while also scaring

Which of the following statements about the use of synthetic polynucleotides in cracking the genetic code is true?
a) Particular codons are generated in predictable ratios with random RNA polymers containing specific ratios of different nucleotides.
b) Poly(A) RNA directs the synthesis of only polylysine in vitro.
c) Three different amino acids are incorporated into peptides when synthetic polymers of only one nucleotide are used to synthesize the RNA primer.
d) The codon table was completed by using RNA polymers of defined sequences.

Answers

Answer:

a) Particular codons are generated in predictable ratios with random RNA polymers containing specific ratios of different nucleotides.

b) Poly(A) RNA directs the synthesis of only polylysine in vitro.

d) The codon table was completed by using RNA polymers of defined sequences.

Explanation:

A polynucleotide molecule is defined as the biopolymer which is composed of thirteen nucleotide monomers or more monomers which is covalently bonded in the chain.

While using the synthetic polyneuclitide in the cracking of the genetic code, the translation of a [tex]\text{poly(A) RNA tail}[/tex] that results in synthesis of the poly-lysine in the lab.

Some of the particular codons are produced by some specific ratios of a different nucleotides. This can be present in the different RNA polymers. Codon table includes the RNA polymers that contains nucleotides in some specific ratios.

Thus, the options (a), (b) and (d) are correct.

What are the parts of the chloroplast? What does each part do?

Answers

The chloroplast has an inner and outer membrane with an empty intermediate space in between. Inside the chloroplast are stacks of thylakoids, called grana, as well as stroma, the dense fluid inside of the chloroplast. These thylakoids contain the chlorophyll that is necessary for the plant to go through photosynthesis.

How much stronger is a magnitude 8 earthquake than a magnitude 5 earthquake?

A. 1000
B. 30
C. 3
D. 10

Answers

Answer:

A. 1000

Explanation:

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake, which is based on the size of its seismic waves. This scale indicates a number to quantify the total seismic energy released by an earthquake. The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, thereby a difference of one (1) point in the scale of magnitude corresponds to a 10-fold increase in amplitude. For example, based on the Richter scale, a magnitude-8 earthquake is 100 times greater than a magnitude-6 and 1000 times greater in amplitude than a magnitude-5.

The DNA template strand of a gene near a promoter reads 5'-TAGAACGCCTCGAAATTTCATACT-3' The amino terminus of the encoded protein whose translation starts in this region is:

Answers

Answer:

The N-terminal aminoacid is Metionin.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, let us remember the meaning of the term amino terminus. Terminus refers to the extremes of the polypeptide. During translation, rRNA and tRNA read mRNA in 5´ to 3´ direction. The first extreme to be translated carries the amino-terminal group, while the other extreme carries the carboxy-terminus group.

Conventionally, proteins are written from left to right, beginning by the N-terminal extreme carrying the free amine group, and ending by the C-terminal extreme carrying the carboxyl free group. However, we need to know that the free amine group actually places at the end of a protein.

Transcription:

Transcription occurs in the nucleus where the template DNI strand is read in direction 3´→ 5´ to build the mRNA molecule in direction 5´→ 3´.

template DNI strand ⇒ 5'-TAGAACGCCTCGAAATTTCATACT-3'
