No renewable mineral resources are often used as fuel, which choice is a good way to conserve the nonrenewable resources we now use for fuel? a. use charcoal, obtained by burning wood for fuel b. use coal in thermal power plants to obtain energy c. explore alternative sources of energy, such as solar energy d. exact minerals from the sea, leaving the resources on land untouched

The answer is C. the only resources that are renewable are Hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy,  Resources like Oil, Petroleum, Natural gas, and charcoal, nuclear energy are nonrenewable energy which take a very long time to renew.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
