Correct Answer
A. CaterpillarExplanation
Caterpillars live in a cocoon for part of their life during the process of metamorphosis. They start as eggs, hatch into caterpillars, and then form a protective covering called a cocoon or chrysalis. Inside the cocoon, the caterpillar undergoes a transformation and eventually emerges as a butterfly or moth. This stage of being enclosed in a cocoon is a crucial part of their life cycle.Rate this question:

Proteins are manufactured by the _______.
Correct Answer
ribosome
ribosomes
RibosomeExplanation
Proteins are manufactured by ribosomes. Ribosomes are small cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. They are found in all living cells and play a crucial role in translating the genetic information stored in DNA into functional proteins. Ribosomes are composed of RNA and proteins and can be found either freely floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. They work by reading the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and assembling amino acids in the correct order to form a protein chain. Therefore, the correct answer is ribosome/ribosomes/Ribosome.Rate this question:
