Enzymatic catalysis
Enzymatic catalysis

Building structural support

Repair damage

Answer 5

The function that is NOT typically associated with proteins is Repair damage. While proteins are involved in many processes within the body, "repair damage" is a more generalized term that may involve various biomolecules and cellular processes, rather than a specific function of proteins.

So, the correct response is:

• Repair damage

Answer 6

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?(1 point)
Responses

DNA is single-stranded, RNA is double-stranded
DNA is single-stranded, RNA is double-stranded

DNA contains thymine, RNA contains uracil
DNA contains thymine, RNA contains uracil

DNA is found only in the nucleus, RNA only in the cytoplasm
DNA is found only in the nucleus, RNA only in the cytoplasm

DNA is made of amino acids, RNA is made of nucleotides

Answer 7

The correct response highlighting a key difference between DNA and RNA is:

• DNA contains thymine, RNA contains uracil

This statement accurately reflects the difference in nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA. DNA has thymine (T), while RNA has uracil (U) instead of thymine.
