What is a protein? describe the monomers and polymers of protein? what are the functions of proteins? what atoms make up proteins?

Animal bodies (and even plant bodies for that matter) are complex enough that life couldn't exist without enzymes. enzymes are usually large, complex biological catalysts that are expensive to make. enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up during the reaction (they can be reused many times). they are highly specific in the reactions they regulate. knowing what enzymes are and how they function, why does this explain why complex life forms could not exist if there were no enzymes.

The images show the wings of a bat and a bee. from this evidence, what can you conclude about the evolutionary relationship between these organisms? a. the wing structures of the bat and the bee are different, indicating they didn’t inherit wings from a common ancestor. b. the wing structures of the bat and the bee are different, indicating they inherited wings from a common ancestor. c. the functions of bat wings and bee wings are the same, indicating they obtained wings from a common ancestor. d. the functions of bat wings and bee wings are different, indicating they didn’t obtain wings from a common ancestor.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. applying the biological species concept, the sterility of ligers reveals that a. lions are probably a subspecies of tigers b. tigers and lions are the same species c. a new species called "ligers" is forming d. tigers and lions are separate species
