<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The biological macro molecule protein can serve as a precursor to the production of cyanide. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Cyanides are chemical compounds that contain the cyanide group(C≡N). </em>Based on the elements attached to the cyanide group cyanides can be classified into organic and inorganic cyanides.

<em>In inorganic cyanides the cyanide group is present as CN^- ion which makes them toxic.  In organic cyanides  CN^- group is not present and thus they are less toxic. </em>

Since nitrogen is the essential component in a cyanide, a biomolecule containing nitrogen will best act as the precursor to cyanide formation.

<em>The biomolecule protein is a long chain polymer of amino acids that contain nitrogen group.  Thus proteins can act as precursor to cyanide formation. </em>

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Interphase

Explanation:

The phase in which most of the cells appear to be in is interphase.

This is so because cell's life is spent more in interphase and in this phase growth of cells and at the end their replication takes place. So cells get more time in interphase to grow and replicate, which makes more cells to appear to be in.

Hence, the correct answer is "Interphase".

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

If you want to improve the amount of the recycling in your city, Tom need to implement a lot of initiatives and the following on this question isn't the right way to do it.

Explanation:

    Whether Tom wants to improve the amount of recycling in his city, he need not to ban all plastics. What he must to do is to take plastics from houses, companies, supermarkets and other places that use this kind of material and recycle them, and change them in other products to back to the society or community. Besides recycle, he need to contact the local authority to make  recycling campaigns. That's the reason to close grocery stores on Sundays isn't the right way to do in this situation. If he are wishing to close all landfills, isn't the right option to do, because you have to implement a good landfills and make it works in a right way, because is important to have an  sustainable landfill without creating environmental pollution for the community, local population and the planet. But to do all of these things explained above, you have to obtain investiment and money throughout the authorities,  governments or maybe  businessmen from big companies.

A student compares the four distinct cells that could form from the stem cell after differentiation. Which statement accurately
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The statement that accurately compares and contrasts the red blood cell and the white blood cell is that both have the same copy of DNA, but different genes are expressed in the two cell types.

Explanation:

Red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC) are two highly differentiated types of cells that come from the hematopoietic system and have different functions in the blood.

Compared to WBC , RBC cells lack a nucleus and have fewer organelles, and their function is to transport gases in the blood, unlike the former which are involved in the body's defence.

<em>Cell differentiation is based on gene expression of the genome, resulting in different types of proteins synthesized in each cell, which give them a different structure and function. </em>

Both <u>WBC and RBC have the same genome</u>, but different genes are expressed in each, giving them different morphological and functional characteristics.
