How are structure and function related in living things?

The function is the job a organelle does. The structure is the shape of the organelle, or materials it is made out of. In a ribosome, for example, it needs the amino acids to make proteins. In the cell membrane, it needs the phospholipids to be facing head, tail, head, to form the barrier between the cell and it's surroundings. In the chloroplast, it needs carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to do it's job. A cytoskeleton needs the right structure to be able to hold up a cell. It also needs proteins to be there at all.


What does an information system contain?

Your question needs to me more specific!


Why is it necessary for the cell to degrade some cellular proteins?

because protein needs our body to make a move..


How can researcher obtain correct information?

As you know, there are 3 classification of research. Library research, Field research and laboratory research.A researcher could obtain correct information if he will apply all classification of research. After having a library research which contains all the information he wanted, he should also try to have the field research to validate all information taken from the library. In that sense his information would be updated and finally if the information he gathered from those classification of research needs more proof, then he could use the laboratory research and apply the procedures and information then compare the information to his actually laboratory experiment.


What is the relationship between dna rna and protein synthesis?

The process of proteins synthesis starts with DNA which contains the information that is going to be used to create the proteins. A molecule called RNA polymerase uses one of the two DNA strands as a template to create an mRNA molecule which contains the base pairs that complement the DNA strand. If the cell is a eukaryotic cell then the mRNA molecule needs to leave the nucleus and then attach to a ribosome. If the cell is prokaryotic then the ribosome binds without the mRNA molecule having to be moved locations (in fact the mRNA doesnt even have to be complete for a ribosome to begin its process). So the ribosome attaches to the mRNA and as each codon (group of three base pairs) moves into each of the three spots in the ribosome, it gets read, then a tRNA molecule brings and matches a protein subunit which gets attached to the chain of protein subunits that are being created and then the codon exits the ribosome. The ribosome knows to attach because of a "start codon" that is usually AUG and knows to stop adding to the protein chain when it reaches a "stop codon".

What is the molecule that contains the information a cell need to make proteins?

The molecule that contains the information a cell needs to make proteins is called messenger RNA (mRNA). It carries the genetic instructions from the DNA in the cell's nucleus to the ribosomes where protein synthesis occurs.


What molecule contains the genetic information necessary to regulate cells?

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, contains the genetic information necessary to regulate cells. DNA is a double-helix molecule located in the nucleus of cells and is responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information from one generation to the next.


A molecule present in all cells and that contains the information that determines the traits that a living thing inherits and needs to live?

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that contains the genetic information in all cells. It carries the instructions needed for an organism to grow, develop, and function. DNA is essential for passing on traits from one generation to the next.

Why do you need amino acids in your diets?

amino acids make up proteins and proteins make up DNA which has all the information your body needs


Which statement best describes the role of DNA in relation to RNA and proteins?

DNA?

DNA is a molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is founded in the cell nucleus. 46 DNA Molecules are in the human body.

An organism's what contains a complete set of instructions needed for making that organism?

An organism's DNA contains a complete set of instructions needed for making that organism. These instructions determine the organism's traits and characteristics by regulating the production of proteins through gene expression.


What organelles can be said to act like an assembly line within a cell?

The nucleus is often the largest organelle in a cell. It contains information a cell needs to function. Some of the information is translated by ribosomes, tiny structures located in the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum. ribosomes use the information to build important molecules called proteins.
