1. Nucleic acids are the molecules that code the genetic information of organisms.

2. The two nucleic acids used in the repair, reproduction and protein synthesis are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA, shown) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)

3. DNA and RNA are polymers made up of monomers called nucleotides

9. How did life on Earth change from one period of geologic time to the next?​
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Scientists use the geologic time scale to illustrate the order in which events on Earth have happened. ... They used relative dating to divide Earth's past in several chunks of time when similar organisms were on Earth. Later, scientists used absolute dating to determine the actual number of years ago that events happened.

boyakko [2]
ATP is produced via 3 main ways. This being Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and ETC or Electron Transport Chain. However Cynanide binds to something called the cytochrome C oxidase, which is part of the ETC, which means the ETC no longer produces the ATP required for the cell. Therefor your body can't produce the energy u need and you die.

Cell Y.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Prokaryotic cells are the cells that do not possess a true nucleus. They do not even possess a membrane bound organelles. Organisms with in the domains bacteria and Archaea have prokaryotic cells. The other forms of life are the eukaryotic.

It is a unicellular organism. The word prokaryotic comes from a Greek word. The prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane or a plasma membrane which acts like a protective shield. Along with this, they also have a rigid cell wall which acts like further support and protection.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

<em><u>What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? </u></em>

A. Rosa needs carbohydrates rich food (bread) to carry out her jogging activity. Protein-rich food before exercise is not recommended unless she is on a weight loss program (diet plan).

B. Rosa needs oxygen to perform aerobic respiration, which is required for maximum release of energy (36 molecules per reaction run). Anaerobic reactions yield less energy (2 molecules of ATP per reaction run) and are not recommended.

<em><u>How do Rosa's body systems work together to get the molecules she needs into her cells?</u></em>

Rosa's body cells need carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen to perform aerobic respiration for the release of maximum energy. The glucose and oxygen molecules are provided to the cells via diffusion into the bloodstream. During exercise/jogging, complex molecules of carbohydrates such as starch (present in bread) are broken down into simple molecules (glucose) which are diffused into the blood. Likewise, a high amount of oxygen is provided to the body's cells via diffusion in blood, which is carried out by the faster movement of lungs and heart. The combined action results in the supply of both types of molecules to enter the cell where mitochondria use these substrates to produce energy molecules (ATPs).

<em><u>How do hair cells use these molecules to release energy for her body to run?</u></em>

The substrates (glucose and oxygen) enters the bloodstream and then taken up to the cell. Then they are provided to the mitochondria for the release of energy in the form of ATP. This is why mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells. Within the cell, energy is released in a three-step process, i.e. glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. In the end, aerobic respiration per reaction run produces 36 molecules of ATP which are sufficient to meet intensive energy needs. During excrcise, the supply of oxygen and glucose is also faster due to faster lungs and heart actions.

PS: Anaerobic respiration cannot meet energy demands faster because the reaction produces only 2 ATP molecules per reaction run.
