Since metabolism involves the synthesis and breakdown of non-protein cell components like mono- and polysaccharides, lipids, and atp, there is not much role for gene mutations to influence the process.
a. true
b. false

False

Explanation:

Though metabolic reactions include formation and breakdown of non-protein biomolecules such as sugars, lipids, etc., gene mutations affect the metabolism.

All the metabolic reactions are driven by enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that have catalytic powers. Mutation in the genes of any of the enzymes of metabolic pathways would affect the pathway.  

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.
