Which is the best explanation of his results? The heating changed some of the sample to gas, causing the mass to decrease without breaking down the sample. Therefore, the original sample is a compound. The appearance stayed the same, showing that the sample was not broken down by heating. Therefore, the original substance is an element. The mass decreased during heating and some of the impurities escaped. Therefore, the original substance is an element. The chemical reaction with acid changed, showing that the sample was broken down by heating. Therefore, the original substance is a compound.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein

Ithink you should go back and learn in school rather then here asking questions
