Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To describe: The basic functions of living organisms.
Introduction: The living organisms forms the basis for the study of biology. Taxonomists classified the organisms into different kinds such as unicellular organisms and multicellular organisms.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The basic functions of the living organisms are given as follows:
- Responsiveness: All the organisms shows the response to changes in their immediate environment. This ability of organisms is also referred as irritability.
- Growth: The growth is the process by which the organisms increase in size.
- Reproduction: By the process of reproduction organisms create the new generations.
- Movement: The organisms shows the ability to move. The movement in organisms are classified into external and internal.
Metabolism : In organisms, the metabolism refers to all thechemical reactions that takes place in the body.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
