17. replication, transcription, and translation

a.
all refer to the synthesis of macromolecules.

b.
refer to rna synthesis, dna synthesis, and protein synthesis, respectively.

c.
require the synthesis of polysaccharides.

d.
would be expected to be exergonic reactions.

e.
all use nucleotides as building blocks.

The answer is A. all refer to the synthesis of macromolecules.

Let's go through all choices:
A. all refer to the synthesis of macromolecules. - CORRECT - DNA, RNA, and proteins are macromolecules. Replication refers to DNA synthesis, transcription refers to the RNA synthesis, and translation refers to protein synthesis.
B. - INCORRECT - because of the word respectively. It would mean that replication refers to RNA synthesis and transcription refers to the DNA synthesis which is not true.
C. - INCORRECT - none of those molecules requires polysaccharides synthesis.
D. - INCORRECT - exergonic reactions involve releasing of energy while mentioned processes use energy.
E. - INCORRECT - nucleotides are building blocks only for DNA and RNA. Building blocks of proteins are amino acids.

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student,  including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as  edutech.
