Biology Questions

Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in gene expression processes.

Amino acids become proteins when 50 or more are bonded together in a chain. All the millions of different proteins in living things are formed by the bonding of only 20 amino acids.

Eight of these amino acids are essential and cannot be produced by the body.

They are:

• Leucine

• Isoleucine

• Lysine

• Threonine

• Methionine

• Phenylalanine

• Valine

• Tryptophan

•  Histidine is an amino acid that is categorized as semi-essential since the human body doesn't always need it to properly function

Nonessential amino acids are produced by the human body either from essential amino acids or from normal protein breakdowns. Nonessential amino acids include:

• Asparagine

• Alanine

• Arginine

• Aspartic acid

• Cysteine

• Glutamic acid

• Glutamine

• Proline

• Glycine

• Tyrosine

• Serine.

Lymph transport depends on the movement of adjacent tissues, such as skeletal muscles is the correct statement regarding lymph transport.

Protein synthesis at the ribosome is immediately preceeded by the transcription process.

The inherited traits of an organism are controlled by DNA molecules.

The traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Animals have two copies of all their chromosomes, one from each parent.

Genes : The DNA is the genetic material. The DNA is made of several nucleotides. A nucleotide means, one nitrogenous base one sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. These nucleotides occur in sequences and several nucleotides form one Gene ( a functional mgene is called a cistron)

RNA acts as a messenger in between the DNA and ribosome as it transforms the genetic information from the DNA and as DNA is big and can't fit into the nuclear pores. 

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition.

The statement "Decomposers are those organisms that recycle matter in the ecosystem" describes decomposers.
