The term which describes the breaking down of body cells or substance is CATABOLISM.
The metabolic processes which occur in living things are of two types, these are anabolic and catabolic processes. The anabolic process involves the building up of needed materials in the body while the catabolic process involves the breaking down of waste materials in the body in order to eliminate them through excretion.
Answer:
The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.
Explanation:
Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.
Answer:
The term secretion refers to the cell that releases a substance into the extracellular space.
Explanation:
When a cell or organ or gland produce and secretes substance in to extracellular space,this biochemical process is called as secretion.
The secretory products may be hormone, enzymes etc.
This process facilitates the movement of material from one place to another place.
For example, Pituitary gland produce and release prolactin hormone that induces breast cells to produce lactation during sucking process done by baby.
Pituitary gland also secrete different hormones that acts on different glands like adrenal, testes, ovary, thyroid gland etc that in turn produce different hormones like adrenaline,testosterone,estrogen,progesterone, TSH,T3, hormone etc.
