3. If metabolism is chemical reactions-- what is the difference between "chemistry soup" in a beaker and biochemistry in a living cell? Define the "energy problem" that all chemical reactions present, then discuss the two molecules that cells use to solve that problem. Describe the process of how these two molecules work: that is, in addition to saying what they "do", be sure to include specific information about how it happens. It should be clear how the structure of these two molecules is important to getting their jobs done.

Witch type of microscope is used to view very small cell components like proteins and dna?

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

The intervention of extraterrestrials has been used to explain the bermuda triangle, a region of the atlantic ocean where ships and planes are frequently lost, leaving no evidence behind. how would this explanation best be characterized?
