Unlike minerals such as iron and calcium, protein is a macronutrient in the human diet. Why is protein a macronutrient? A. The human diet should be made up of mostly protein. B. Proteins are the most calorie-dense molecules that humans eat. C. Proteins are one of the few inorganic compounds that humans eat. D. The human diet requires a relatively large amount of protein.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning. (2 points)

In the practice of science, this type of reasoning is used to develop explanations.

What is the next step in the process after a substrate enters the active site of an enzyme
