Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the four major biomolecules have the following different functions

1) Nucleic acid (as in DNA and RNA): They are a sequence of nucleotides that store organism's genetic code. This nucleotide sequence in turn determines an organism's protein sequence.

2) Carbohydrates: They are important structural components of various "compositions" in an organism (such as the cellulose in cell wall and ribose in nucleotide). They also serve as energy sources for the body.

3) Lipids: They also serve as energy sources and are part of membrane composition (as in the case of the phospholipid cell membrane).

4) Proteins: They are major structural elements of cells. They serve as enzymes in many biological activity (such as hexokinase in glycolysis and DNA polymerase in DNA replication). They also form hormones (such as insulin) and antibodies (such as the Immunoglobulins).

The crabs are salt water organisms, so they'll have a higher concentration gradient than the distilled water. In other words, they're hypertonic to the distilled water. This will cause them to take on water and expand; their cells bursting.

A farmer stops cultivating a large tract of farmland and abandons it. the natural changes taking place soon afterwards, such as
erastovalidia [21]

<span>When a farmer stops cultivating farmland and abandons it, the growth of wild grasses and weeds can be considered secondary succession because of the presence of the existing soil. Secondary succession occurs in ecosystem when soil have been disturbed or disrupted by humans such in a way of farming.  Furthermore, the reason why it cannot be categorize as primary succession because primary succession only occurs in essentially lifeless areas, where soil is not capable of sustaining life. Specifically, this is called old-field succession where wild grasses and weeds represents a new plant species to colonize a bare soil after the farmer abandon the farmland.</span>

A researcher is examining the response of corn to herbivory by white-tailed deer. She sets up a corn field with a very high fenc
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The herbivory by the white-tailed deer

Explanation:

The independent variable can be defined as the variable that who's values do not depend on those of another.

The independent variable in this case is the herbivory by the white-tailed deer which is divided into two categories.

The dependent variables is the response of the corn to the independent variable which are measurements to be taken as shown in the question; the height of the corn plants and the number of ears or corn each plant produces.

Suppose that an obligate anaerobe microorganism suffered a mutation resulting in the loss of triose phosphate isomerase activity
masha68 [24]
In deprived of triose phosphate isomerase, only one of the two three-carbon molecules produced by aldolase might be used to produce ATP in which only two molecules of ATP would outcome from the metabolism of each molecule to glucose but two molecules of ATP would still be essential to form fructose 1,6-biphosphate, the sub state for aldolase. The net yield of ATP would be 0, a yield incompatible with life.

A commercial florist exposes her chrysanthemums—which are short-day plants—to a few minutes of red light during their daily dark
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Red light act as a inhibitor and hence causes delay in flowering

Explanation:

Through Periodism phenomenon, the regulation in exposure to daylight for a certain time period can delay or enhance the flowering of the "light duration"sensitive plant.

When "short day plants" are exposed to light between  the essential long period of nights or dark period, the stage of flowering gets delayed.

Hence,  chrysanthemums on being exposed to red light during their daily darkness period lead  delay in flowering as red light act as an inhibitor.
