Many biological structures are composed of smaller units assembled into more complex structures having functions based on their

structural organization. For the following complex structures, describe the smaller units, their assembly into the larger structures, and one major function of these larger, organized structures.
A eukaryotic chromosome

WARRIOR [948]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The smaller units are histone proteins and DNA (more specifically a single DNA strand). The DNA strand is coiled around these histones into a beads-on-a-string like structure. RNA, non-histone protein, and metallic ions are some other, but less important components. The major function of eukaryotic chromosomes is allowing the essential processes like mitosis and meiosis to occur and transferring DNA in an efficient, well-regulated manner.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the complexity of biological systems
Leto [7]

The correct answer is option B

Biological systems can be defined as the complex system in which the function of a component is dependent on the functioning of the other components. By knowing the function of each component one can get an insight into the structure and organization of the living system. The different components of the biological systems are interconnected and they function accordingly.

Answer: Ecosystem Services

Explanation: Simply put,Ecosystem services refer to all the benefits that man enjoys from his relationship with the ecosystem.Ecosystem services are the benefits that people obtain from ecosystems. Ecosystem services are indispensable to the wellbeing of all people, everywhere in the world. They include provision,regulation and cultural services that directly affect people, and supporting services needed to maintain the other services. From the availability of adequate food and water, to disease regulation of vectors, pests, and pathogens, human health and well-being depends on these services and conditions from the natural environment.

We depend on nature for our survival – without healthy ecosystems, our drinking water isn’t clean nor is the air we breathe. Studies also show that people who spend time in nature tend to be happier than those that don’t. Being outdoor can even act as a natural anti-depressant. With industry and urban sprawl expanding at unprecedented rates, Ecosystem Services attempt to translate the benefits we receive from nature into economic terms so we can better understand the compromise we are making between nature and industrial development.

Delicious77 [7]

This is a difficult question because the paragraph says that the scientists found the crater was dated back to the time the dinosaurs became extinct according to the fossil record, so that would make it true, but what it does not say is where they got the fossil record from or how the fossil record is correct, so that would make it false. So I would put it in as false.

1)When a phosphate is transferred from ATP, it can phosphorylate another molecule. How could this assist in allowing a protein t
Andrews [41]

Answer/Explanation:

1) When phosphate is transferred from ATP, (which forms ADP and releases energy) it can phosphorylate another molecule. When this molecule is phosphorylated. It could become "energized" as it enters a higher energy state.

In this higher energy state, the protein has the energy to transfer molecules against a concentration gradient, which is an active process (requires energy).

2) Adenosine triphosphate contains three phosphate groups. The phosphate bonds are high energy. When ATP is hydrolyzed (water is added), these high energy phosphate bonds are broken and energy is released. This forms adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
