Biology Questions

Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are multicellular.

Kelp, or 'seaweed,' is a large multicellular protist that provides food, shelter, and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems.

The genome of an organism is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration. This process breaks down glucose into two pyruvic acids, and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH. 

In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis and fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm.

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.

The only transport method that can move species against their concentration gradient i.e, from low to high concentration is called Active transport.

Facilitated diffusion only moves species down their concentration gradient i.e, from high to low concentration.

Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention, reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion.

Protiens can help fight specific diseases, always there to regulate cell processes and build muscle/tissues.

Structural proteins also known as Fibrous proteins, are necessary components of your body. They include collagen, keratin and elastin. Collagen forms the connective framework of your muscles, bones, tendons, skin and cartilage. Keratin is the main structural component in hair, nails, teeth and skin.

• Nucleic acids store and transmit heredity.

Yeast belongs to members of the Kingdom Fungi.

Yeast are single-celled microorganisms that are classified, along with molds and mushrooms in Fungi family. 

Yeasts are evolutionally diverse and are therefore classified into two separate phyla, Ascomycota or sac fungi and Basidiomycota or higher fungi, that together form the subkingdom Dikarya.
