How do rabbits obtain carbon from plants?

Rabbits eat plants and use water absorbed from the plants to hydrolyze CO2CO2, which the rabbits breathe in from the air and use as a carbon source. Rabbits eat plants and make carbon-containing molecules by using carbon atoms that the plants absorbed from the soil and stored in the cells of their leaves.

Which of the following best describes how molecules released by the fish become nutrients for the plants?

Which of the following statements best describes how molecules released by the fish become nutrients for the plants? The ammonia molecules released by the fish are converted by the bacteria to nitrates, which are used by the plants to make proteins and nucleic acids.

How the amino acid deletion will affect the structure of the CFTR protein?

When the CFTR protein is made using all of the correct amino acids, it forms a stable 3-D shape. It has to be the right shape to transport chloride. When a mutation causes an amino acid to be deleted or an incorrect amino acid to be added, the CFTR protein cannot form its correct 3-D shape and function properly.

Which of the following statements best explains how this deletion will affect the CFTR protein?

Which of the following best predicts how the amino acid deletion will affect the structure of the CFTR protein? It will affect the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of the CFTR protein.
