The answer to this question would be: half of

Gametes cell is a haploid cell that only has half of genetic material from the parent cells. The process of making gamete cells is called meiosis.
The gamete is haploid because it was used in fertilization and need to fuse with other gametes(example: sperm with the egg) resulting in a full paired chromosomes.

Do all organisms undergo the process of cellular respiration
Ivan
Yes. All organisms go through cellular respiration. This is because cellular respiration requires oxygen. Very few organisms can perform respiration without oxygen.

NO SCAM FILES!!! Hey! i need help! Can you help me with this?? 30 points and brainlest!
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Regulation / Homeostasis  you get too hot or too cold:

  If you get either too hot or too cold, sensors in the periphery and the brain tell the temperature regulation center of your brain—in a region called the hypothalamus—that your temperature has strayed from its set point.

Your diaphragm expands and contracts so you can breathe:

  When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

 

Nutrient Absorption

The reactants needed for cellular respiration are taken in and transported to your cells:

cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells.

Defense from Illness

A pathogen enters your body through a cut:

The skin and mucous membranes act as a physical barrier preventing penetration by microbes. If the skin is cut then the blood produces a clot which seals the wound and prevents microbes from entering.

Defense from Injury

A bunny is running away from a wolf:

Rabbits have keen senses of smell, sight and hearing, which help them defend themselves from danger. When they sense a nearby predator, they innately freeze in place to camouflage with the landscape.

Your hand gets too close to a flame:

Skin is difficult to ignite, and usually chars in the presence of heat. It takes up to 10 minutes of direct flame for skin to crack open and start leaking out rendered fat. Even if a horse's body started to leak fat, it would be unlikely to go up in flames on its own.

Reproduction

A woman’s body prepares for a pregnancy:

Every month, usually one egg grows within a structure called the egg follicle (a fluid filled sac that nourishes the egg). The follicle produces estrogen, which helps a woman's body prepare for pregnancy by growing a new lining for the uterus.

A woman’s body prepares for a birth:

As your body prepares for birth, your cervix — the muscular ring between your uterus and vagina — begins to soften, dislodging the mucous plug.

Other nutrients will require a transporter in the membrane, as well as a concentration gradient. This process of ____________ is
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the process of diffusion in which ion or some substances are transported across the membrane by a specific carrier membrane protein. The process does not require the input of energy and is driven by a concentration gradient.  

The absorption of simple sugars in small intestine occurs through facilitated diffusion. The polar sugar molecules can not cross the nonpolar inner core of the membrane. Hence, the membrane proteins transport the sugars down the concentration gradients without any input of energy.
