Producers: Producers are basically organisms that make their own food. They get energy from chemicals/and or the sun, and with the help of water, they convert that energy into useable energy in the form of sugar, or food. Plants are one very good example of a producer.

Consumers: Consumers are essentially organisms which receive energy by consuming other organisms. These organisms are commonly referred to as heterotrophs, which include animals, bacteria, and even fungi.

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

Amino acids can undergo dehydration synthesis reaction to form larger molecules called

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Dehydration Synthesis

The monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts.

Rna processing drag the correct labels under the diagrams to identify the events of rna processing.

Elena-2011 [213]

In the beginning of the RNA strand as a cap, a modified guanine nucleotide is added. After this, there is a removal of those segments of the RNA strand that do not actually code for the protein. And those RNA’s segments that do code for the protein are reconnected. And forking a tail, extra adenine nucleotides are added to the end of the RNA strand. The mRNA or messenger RNA which is already completed will then leave the nucleus. This whole process is called the RNA processing. Before the RNA copy of a protein encoding can be transported out of the nucleus and translated into protein, it must be first be modified in several ways. A precursor of mRNA, pre-mRNA is the primary transcription product of a gene.

Create a table in which you compare the components and functions of the following.

Sauron [17]

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

Nucleic acids: nucleotides
Proteins: amino acids
Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
Proteins: lactase; collagen
Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol
