Answer:

a.  The building blocks of proteins

Explanation:

They are coded by the rRNA (ribosomal RNA), which create proteins through different combinations of ammino acids

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.

Protein has many roles in your body. It helps repair and build your body's tissues, allows metabolic reactions to take place and coordinates bodily functions. In addition to providing your body with a structural framework, proteins also maintain proper pH and fluid balance.

There are seven types of proteins: antibodies, contractile proteins, enzymes, hormonal proteins, structural proteins, storage proteins, and transport proteins.

These were the last words of Mr. Bedford in Chapter Six of The First Men in the Moon.

Write about a time when you were looking forward to going somewhere, but felt disappointed with what you saw and experienced when you arrived. Relate your experience to Mr. Bedford’s.

Nonfiction: In mid-November, 1805, Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery finally reached the Pacific Ocean. The expedition had left St. Louis over a year and a half earlier in order to locate the mythical "Northwest Passage," supposedly a series of rivers that would connect the east and west coasts of North America. But it didn't exist, and instead they came upon the jagged peaks of the Rocky Mountains and found only great hardship and suffering. But they persevered and pushed forward to the Pacific, where they hoped to find passage home by ship. With none to be found, they constructed Fort Clatsop and waited through another bitter winter, suffering more misery and sickness, until the weather broke and the Corps of Discovery headed east for St. Louis in late March 1806.
Fiction: The men of the Corps of Discovery scrambled down the sandy dune like children romping in a snowstorm. They charged toward the endless expanse of grey, churning water, as if touching it could erase the struggle and suffering of the last eighteen months. One by one, though, their heads moved from the hypnotic, lapping surf to the space just above the horizon line, searching for a mast or a sail, or any sign of a sailing vessel moving in the distance. And when none could be found, each face glazed over with the understanding that the journey they thought was complete was only halfway done. One by one they turned from the rhythmic, lulling Pacific and faced east, looking at the thick forests and angry mountains they had hoped never to enter again.

Please write a conclusion for this argumentative essay. (It doesn't have to be good I just need an idea of what to write.)

Intro: “The trade in exotic animals is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year industry.” “Millions of wild animals, including reptiles, large felines, nonhuman primates, and others, are kept in private possession in the U.S.” and are being mistreated due to this fact. One might take an exotic animal as a pet with the idea that it's "cool", or even, possibly, that they are helping the pitiful creatures. But what is really happening is that corrupt associations are profiting off of these animals as a result of people lacking knowledge about exotic animals. Exotic animals should not be kept as pets.
Body Paragraph 1: As stated before, people often will take in an exotic, or wild, pet just for vain purposes, “it’s cute”, or because it might be “cool”. Of course, there are also those who have a natural affinity for animals, and genuinely want to care for or be close to them. As a result of this, many of these animals are being mistakenly, sometimes purposely, mistreated because the owners do not have the right resources or knowledge to care for these animals. “Zoos, pet stores and exotic pet expos often include a hands-on component that, similarly to television media, creates a fabricated intimacy between people and wildlife that mirrors how they interact with domesticated pets” and “The results of these findings reveal that the main motivation for people obtaining exotic pets is because of their high affection and desire to be close to animals.”, are inquisitions made by Samantha Kieswetter for Zoocheck Inc. that show the reasons for getting exotic pets. The only circumstance in which one should have an exotic animal in their care, not being an animal organization or a zoo, is if they have the proper means to care for these animals.

Body Paragraph 2: Further reasoning is that these animals do not belong in captivity. The National Library of Medicine explains why keeping exotic animals is ill-advised. More common pets, such as dogs and cats, are more accustomed to being pets. But animals like, say, foxes are not adapted to abiding amongst humans, and as a result, are more bestial. If people kept domesticated animals they would be safer, and these peculiar animals they desire would suffer less.

Body Paragraph 3: One might say that owning exotic pets is the best and no matter what it should be legal. Although it may be fun to own an exotic animal one must consider the consequences. Humans are hurting these animals, and these animals could also hurt people. Born Free USA reveals that exotic animals suffer under the care of separate persons due to the inability of one to care properly for these animals. Many would be safer and these peculiar animals they desire would suffer less if we were to leave them in proper care.

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

Read the excerpts from the two articles on sea otters.

Article A

Sea otters live in the chilly Northern Pacific Ocean and spend almost all their lives in the water. They sleep, hunt, groom, mate, and give birth in the ocean, where they float on their backs on the water's surface. Adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming their fur. This isn't for vanity; it's for survival. Unlike most sea mammals, sea otters do not have an inner layer of fat to protect them from the cold water. These creatures rely on their dense fur to protect them from the low temperatures. Sea otters have one of the thickest furs in all of the animal kingdom. An adult sea otter's coat can contain up to 1 billion individual hairs! These hairs form a protective, waterproof layer, which traps air and provides insulation. It is crucial that a sea otter's fur is kept clean to maintain this insulating layer between the water and their skin.

Article B

Oil spills from off-shore drilling and shipping are also an immense threat to sea otters. Sea otters are dependent on their thick fur to keep them warm. Its unique structure traps air that insulates their bodies from the cold water. When an otter's fur is covered in oil, it can no longer keep the otter warm. This can cause hypothermia and even death. If the otter tries to clean its fur, it will ingest the oil, which is poisonous. In 1989, the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Alaska. The ship spilled over ten million gallons of oil into the ocean. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes that anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 otters died due to this oil spill.

How are the authors' points of view different in these excerpts?

Article A focuses on the importance of the sea otter grooming its fur, but Article B shows that the sea otter's grooming habits endanger it when the water is not clean.
Article A explains that adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming, but in Article B, the author explains that adults spend most of their day caring for their young.
Article A highlights the different reasons the sea otter's fur must be clean, and Article B highlights the actual process sea otters use to keep their thick coats clean and healthy.
Article A focuses on how the sea otter's fur can harm the animal, while Article B focuses on how the sea otter's fur can protect it from oil spills and other water pollution.

In my opinion, lying is okay in the right situation although it can backfire. If someone were to find out that you had lied to them, they could be quite upset with you. Even though it could be the best option could be to lie it could ruin friendships, relationships, and much more. Although it can hurt one person, it could also be better for another. The situation also depends on if a lie is being used for good or bad reasons. If it's for good, it isn't bad for that situation. But if it's to cover up something bad, I wouldn't suggest doing so because that could lead. To a major catastrophic event in your life, and possibly others around you. It also depends on if a lie is about a person you should never lie about a person even if it benefits that person, and that happens to be my opinion on lying.
