A water strider sits on the surface of a pond. This occurs because

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

their legs contain specialized hairs that are able to repel the water and to capture the air

Explanation:

The water strider is one of the most common aquatic insects. Water striders can sit on the water surface due to they have specialized hydrophobic water-repelling hairs in their legs that allow them to use the surface tension of water in order to distribute the weight. Thus, the hairs in the legs of these insects enable them to float and move on the water surface.

Where does the RNA cap go? The tail?

Answers

Answer:

The post-transcriptional modifications in the mRNA produced as a result of the transcription in eukaryotes provide many advantages to the mRNA.

The two post-transcriptional modifications are the addition of  7-methylguanosine cap at 5' end of mRNA called capping whereas the addition of the poly(Adenyl) tail at 3' end called tailing.

The advantages of capping are:

1. Protection of nascent mRNA from the degradation.

2. Recognition by transcription factors helps in translation.

The advantages of tailing are:

1. Protection of the mRNA from enzymatic degradation in the cytosol.

2. Transcription termination

3. Export of the mRNA from the nucleus

Without bacteria in the environment a. adequate amounts of carbon would not be available to living organisms.
b. plants would not be able to grow due to lack of nitrogen.
c. bioremediation would have limited use as a tool to clean up pollutants. .
d. there would be a shortage of decomposer organisms.
e. All of the choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

e. All of the choices are correct.

Explanation:

Bacteria are present almost everywhere on Earth. Many bacteria like cyanobacteria play an important role in fixing the atmospheric carbon in the form of an organic molecule. These organic molecules then used to gain energy.

Many nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium,  Azotobacter, etc plays an important role in providing nitrogen to plants which is important for their growth. Many bacteria decompose organic matter into simpler form and recycle the nutrients present in them.  

So bacteria like Pseudomonas putida decompose waste and clean the environment, therefore, they also help in bioremediation. So the correct answer is e. All of the choices are correct.

Answer: e. All of the choices are correct.

Explanation: Bacteria is an important part of the ecosystem. There are some bacterial species which we called (biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). These bacteria fixes atmospheric nitrogen for higher plants. There are some other bacterial species which feed on dead bodies of living material and helps in cleaning the environment. Due to this decomposition process high amount of carbon is liberated in the atmosphere and used by the plants during photosynthesis.

What is the process by which substances in food are transformed into body tissues and provide energy for the full range of physical and mental activities that make up human life?

Answers

The absorbed food materials are transported by blood and lymph. Lymph is finally transferred to the blood circulation. The blood transports absorbed food materials to different body cells where food materials become integral component of the living protoplasm and are used for energy, growth and repair. This is called assimilation of food.
