can somone tell me the three major functions of protein ?
Answer:
Energy
Protein is a major source of energy. If you consume more protein than you need for body tissue maintenance and other necessary functions, your body will use it for energy. If it is not needed due to sufficient intake of other energy sources such as carbohydrates, the protein will be used to create fat and becomes part of fat cells.
Hormones
Protein is involved in the creation of some hormones. These substances help control body functions that involve the interaction of several organs. Insulin, a small protein, is an example of a hormone that regulates blood sugar. It involves the interaction of organs such as the pancreas and the liver. Secretin, is another example of a protein hormone. This substance assists in the digestive process by stimulating the pancreas and the intestine to create necessary digestive juices.
Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions in the body. In fact, most of the necessary chemical reactions in the body would not efficiently proceed without enzymes. For example, one type of enzyme functions as an aid in digesting large protein, carbohydrate and fat molecules into smaller molecules, while another assists the creation of DNA.
Transportation and Storage of Molecules
Protein is a major element in transportation of certain molecules. For example, hemoglobin is a protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. Protein is also sometimes used to store certain molecules. Ferritin is an example of a protein that combines with iron for storage in the liver.
Antibodies
Protein forms antibodies that help prevent infection, illness and disease. These proteins identify and assist in destroying antigens such as bacteria and viruses. They often work in conjunction with the other immune system cells. For example, these antibodies identify and then surround antigens in order to keep them contained until they can be destroyed by white blood cells.
Explanation:
hope it helps
help me with this please , it easy… my brain cells rant working
Answer:
The answer is 2.
Explanation:
In the question te ask you to replace the word, or pronoun "it" e.g in number 1 change "it" to "the story", 2 change "it" to "a great book", 3 change "it" to "people", 4 change "it" to "a good adventure".
Number 1 cannot work because mentioning the word "story" twice in sentence [B] does not make the story clearer or "clearest".
Number 3 also cannot work because changing "you" in sentence [E] to "people" does not change the meaning of the sentence.
Finaly number 4 reapeting "a good adventure" will not make sense in sentence [E].
I hope this answers your question.

What is the term used when there is a known genetic link from one or both parents?
Sexual reproduction, as both parents contribute genetic material. Different gene combinations are present in the sperm and eggs that are generated.
Mendel believed that gametes always contain one allele for each gene and are hence pure. Assume that the tall plant's genotype is "TT" and the short plant's genotype is "tt". All the gametes produced by the tall plant would include one copy of the "T" allele, but all the gametes produced by the short plant would contain just the "t" allele. All of the F1 offspring with genotype "Tt" were created by a chance union of the gametes from the tall and short parent plants. The tall parent plant provided one "T" allele and the short parent plant provided one "t" allele to each F1 seedling in this instance.

10. In paragraph 9, the narrator formulates a logical plan of action that will allow him to avoid
shooting the elephant, but he does not follow it. Why not? What persistent thought or
worry causes him to prepare to shoot the animal?
In paragraph 9 of "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, the narrator formulates a logical plan of action that will allow him to avoid shooting the elephant, but he does not follow it. This is because for the plan to work, he would need to be able to get away quickly form the elephant if it got irked. But the ground was muddly and that was not going to be possible.
So the fear of being trampled by the Elephant in front of the Natives stirred him to change his mind as he prepared to shoot the animal. In paragraph 10, he shoots the Elephant thrice.
What is the symbolism of "Shooting an Elephant" for George Orwell?It is used by Orwell to depict the impact of colonialism on both the colonizer and the colonized. The elephant, like a colonial population, has its liberty limited, and it only becomes fiercely defiant in response to being chained.
Orwell tackles issues of empire, imprisonment, and power in the essay. The cop is conflicted about killing the elephant. His moral compass urges him to investigate and report, but he must project authority while carrying the weapon in the midst of a mob of Burmese people.

Answer:

Explanation:
Hobbits are usually described as short, and big in appearance. Their houses have small arch and doorways, so a visitor should be careful not to hit their head. Hobbits have seven meals a day, breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper, which would obviously push them towards the pudgier side. Hobbits are fun and sociable folk, so their clothes reflect that with bright colors, favoring green and yellow. Hobbits also are afraid of heights, which explains why most houses in the Shire only have one floor.

A Wagner Matinee essay can someone please help help me find a free essay outline
Answer:
During the 1800's there was an increase in immigration to the Great Plains due to an abundance of free land offered by the Homestead Act. Many individuals and families went west to seek their fortune and a home on what was once called the great American desert. Moving westward was a difficult process, and many were forced to leave their old lives behind completely. In "A Wagner Matinee," written by Willa Cather, the characterization of Aunt Georgiana, a woman who leaves Boston to elope with a young man going west, is used to illustrate the theme; that sometimes decisions need to be made, and although one might regret it, one love must be sacrificed for another. One way that Cather uses characterization to illustrate this theme is through direct statements about Georgiana and physical descriptions. Right away Cather tells us that Georgiana is, or was, a pianist of some accomplishment. She once worked as an instructor at the Boston Conservatory of Music. For a woman to achieve this status in the time "A Wagner Matinee" is set was an extraordinary thing. The music she chose to give up was surely something she loved very dearly and was very proud of. The physical description of Aunt Georgiana shows the hardships she had to endure because of her sacrifice. The narrator of the story, Georgiana's nephew Clark, describes her as having yellow and leathery skin, and wearing ill-fitting false teeth. These physical defects were the result of a pitiless wind and the alkaline water, along with other hardships of the Nebraska frontier. The most biting description of Aunt Georgiana is the repeated image of her hands. She was once a great pianist, but from work on the farm in Nebraska, her hands have been reduced to twisted knots of flesh, with oddly bent, tentacle-like fingers. This description best illustrates her sacrifice, as her hands were the most vital thing to her musical essence, and Cather does well to convey this through the repeated imagery. Georgiana's statements throughout the novel also support the theme of regret and sacrifice. Clark recalls a time when Georgiana opens her soul to him, and says "Don't love it so well Clark, or it may be taken from you. Oh! Dear boy, pray that whatever your sacrifice be it is not that." By saying this she is referring to, of course music. Her advice to not "love it so well" is intensely pessimistic, influenced by the great pain she suffered when she gave up her life ambition. Later in the only conversation that Clark and Georgiana share at the concert, she remorsefully makes reference to the music they are enjoying. "And you've been hearing this ever since you left me, Clark?" she asks. Clark calls the question "the gentlest and saddest of reproaches". When she says this she is almost jealous of her nephew. Her wistful remembrance and longing is made clear through her words. Finally, at the end of the concert, she bursts into tears and cries out "I don't want to go Clark, I don't want to go!” This is a very direct and clear example that her longing for the music she sacrificed is terrible and immense.
However, Aunt Georgiana's actions often speak volumes, and impart a greater insight into the theme than even her words can convey. She had lived on a farm away from civilization for thirty years, and so the transition back into the city was not an easy one. She is described as being almost in a trance when she arrives. Her state of being does not change throughout the story until she arrives at the matinee and she "awakens". The only thing that connects her back to the city she left so long ago is the music. When the concert starts, it opens the flood gates to her memories. The very moment the first note is played her hand darts out and clutches at Clark's coat sleeve. She does not release it until that song is has come to an end. After this first ordeal she is able to calm herself somewhat, but the music still controls her, seeming to sweep her away to another world. As the concert continues, she fondly remembers her days at the conservatory as she pantomimes the action of playing a piano on her dress. Through these actions and others she demonstrates how dear to her the music that she left behind is. Thus, Cather uses the characterization to illustrate the theme of sacrifice. The vivid physical description presented makes the weight of Georgiana's decision clear. Georgiana's words also provide great insight into how she feels. Indirect expressions, which can be interpreted through her conscious and subconscious actions, are the most solid representation of how the theme is demonstrated through characterization.

Answer:
The Last Leaf By O. Henry This story takes place in New York City where two young women share an apartment. They, like all the tenents in their building, are artists who earn their daily break making drawings for magazine advertisements. All the artists, though, hope to paint a masterpiece, someday.
One of the girls has come down with pneumonia. She isn't in a hospital (as she would be today) but is being nursed by her room-mate. The doctor has visited the apartment and advises the healthy girl that her ill friend will only recover if she has the will to live.
The sick girl is in bed staring out the window. On this rainy November day, she is staring through the window watching leaves fall from a vine on the opposite building wall. She announces that when the last leaf falls, she will die.
The nurse is in a panic. She does her best to bring some cheer, to infuse her friend with the will to live. The sick girl refuses to improve.
The healthy girl visits an old artist who lives downstairs. She tells the old drunk that their friend needs a reason to live. He scoffs at this suggestion, and our nurse goes home dejected.
The next day, the last leaf is still on the vine. And, the next day, it's still there. Our patient begins to improve. The doctor visits and gives her a much better chance of survival. But, he lets her know that the old man downstairs is now stricken with pneumonia.
They found him in his room sick, wet, and cold. Outside was a ladder and his pallette of paints where he had painted a single leaf on the wall. It was the last leaf that had given hope to the sick girl, that had given her the will to live.

Read the following passage from The Odyssey and answer the question that follows.
They sang these words most musically, and as I longed to hear them further I made signs by frowning to my men that they should set me free; but they quickened their stroke, and Eurylochus and Perimedes bound me with still stronger bonds till we had got out of hearing of the Sirens' voices. Then my men took the wax from their ears and unbound me.
Immediately after we had got past the island I saw a great wave from which spray was rising, and I heard a loud roaring sound. The men were so frightened that they loosed hold of their oars, for the whole sea resounded with the rushing of the waters, but the ship stayed where it was, for the men had left off rowing. I went round, therefore, and exhorted them man by man not to lose heart.
‘My friends,’ said I, ‘this is not the first time that we have been in danger, and we are in nothing like so bad a case as when the Cyclops shut us up in his cave; nevertheless, my courage and wise counsel saved us then, and we shall live to look back on all this as well. Now, therefore, let us all do as I say, trust in Jove and row on with might and main. As for you, coxswain, these are your orders; attend to them, for the ship is in your hands; turn her head away from these steaming rapids and hug the rock, or she will give you the slip and be over yonder before you know where you are, and you will be the death of us.’

Which detail from “The Chenoo” would best support the theme “difficult situations require courage”?
“The Chenoo” is a traditional Native American story that depicts a monster-like creature that feeds on human flesh.
The story portrays the importance of courage and self-sacrifice in difficult situations. One of the best details that supports the theme of “difficult situations require courage” is the part where the young man decides to face the Chenoo alone, without any help from his fellow villagers or even his own wife. When the young man heard that the Chenoo was coming to their village, everyone fled except him. He realized that if he also fled, the Chenoo would catch him, and so he decided to confront the monster alone.
When the Chenoo arrived, the young man didn't run away, but instead he bravely faced the creature. He used his intelligence to outsmart the Chenoo by lighting a fire and making the creature believe that he was cooking a woman inside. When the Chenoo came to inspect, the young man threw boiling water at him, which melted the Chenoo away. This detail highlights the importance of courage in difficult situations, especially when others are too afraid to help.
The young man was determined to protect his people, and he did so by confronting the Chenoo alone. This is a perfect example of how courage can lead to success even in the most difficult situations. The story teaches us that in order to overcome adversity, we must be willing to take risks and face our fears. Courage can inspire us to take action, to confront our challenges, and to overcome them.

Write a debate on the topic;Boys should not help in the kitchen.Speak against the motion.
Answer: Generally speaking, boys should help out in the kitchen. There are however, certain reasons why it would be best for them not to help in the kitchen.
Explanation:
Some of these reasons include:
Cultural practices - in cultures where men don't cook and instead leave it to their wives, it would not be logical to allow boys in the kitchen because it might lead to them going against the culture when they grow up.
Upsetting gender roles - There are traditional gender roles that are ascribed to males and females and cooking is not traditionally for males. Asking boys to help in the kitchen would go against those roles.
They might not bow to female's authority - If boys are being told to help a female relative in the kitchen, there is a chance that they will be hard to control because they are generally stubborn and might decide to do things their way instead of how they are told to.
Boys keep eating - Boys generally have a high metabolism and if told to help in the kitchen, might keep eating the things they are supposed to help cook.

Sonnet XII
by William Shakespeare
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
