Suppose that you have a very precious piece of information. Let’s imagine that this piece of information is a blueprint. In fact, it’s not just a blueprint for a house, or a car, or even a top-secret fighter jet. It’s a blueprint for an entire organism – you – and it not only specifies how to put you together, but also provides the information that enables every cell in your body to keep functioning from moment to moment.

Sounds important, right? You’d probably want to keep information this valuable in a secure spot, perhaps in a protected vault where you can keep an eye on it. In fact, that’s exactly what eukaryotic cells do with their genetic material, placing it in a membrane-enclosed repository called the nucleus.

Eukaryotic DNA never leaves the nucleus; instead, it’s transcribed (copied) into RNA molecules, which may then travel out of the nucleus. In the cytosol, some RNAs associate with structures called ribosomes, where they direct synthesis of proteins. (Other RNAs play functional roles in the cell, serving as structural components of the ribosome or regulating activity of genes.) Here, we’ll look in a little more detail at the structure of the nucleus and ribosomes.

a. decomposes use carbon from dead organisms as fuel for cellular respiration, returning carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
