The diagram below (attached image) represents two cells, X and Y.

Which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A?

A) It is involved in cell communication in cell X but not in cell y.

B) It represents a cell wall in cell X and the cell membrane in cell y.

C) It prevents the absorption of CO2 in cell x and O2 and cell y.

D) It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y ​

Cell membrane accomplishes several functions, among them, the removal of cell wastes. Option D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a barrier that surrounds the cell content and isolates it from the extracellular space. It is composed of two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans incrusted in between.

The cell membrane accomplishes many different functions. Among them, we can mention,

  • Isolation ⇒ It separates the intracellular content from the extracellular space.

  • Protection ⇒ It protects the interior of the cell from any damaging external factor that might affect its correct functioning.

  • Transport ⇒ It allows the selective pass of certain molecules or ions.

Substances interchange

⇒  Passive transport → Simple diffusion → through lipids

                                     → Facilitated diffusion → Assisted by channel  

                                        proteins

                                     → Does not need energy

                                    → Depends on the molecule size, the concentration                      

                                       at each side of the membrane, and the charge of      

                                       the ions.

                                      → Occurs in favor of the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Active transport → It does the energy to occur

                                → Mediated by carrier proteins

                                → Transport big-sized molecules

                                → Against the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Endocytosis/Exocytosis → Active transport mediated by vesicles.  

  • Communication ⇒ By emission and reception of substances and molecules, the cell can communicate with other cells. This process is always mediated by membranes and their transport proteins or receptor proteins.

In the exposed example X cell represents an animal cell, and Y cell is a plant cell.

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

Among the options, the correct one is D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y

The carboxylation of pyruvate by pyruvate carboxylase occurs at a very low rate unless acetyl-CoA, a positive allosteric modulat
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The mechanism shut down the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H2O but increases the oxidation of acetyl CoA derived from fatty acids by Tri carboxylic acid cycle.

Explanation:

When a person eat meal rich in fatty acid,the ingested fatty acid will undergo breakdown to form large amount of acetyl CoA.The so formed Acetyl CoA  undergo oxidation by TCA cycle to generate CO2 and H2O.

   on the other hand when a person has eaten a meal that is low in carbohydrates(glucose),at that time less glucose molecule will undergo glycolysis and oxidative de carboxylation to form less amount of acetyl CoA.The acetyl CoA accumulates rather than going further oxidation.

   As the meal contain  low amount of glucose after a certain period of time the glucose level will be depleted.So to maintain homeostasis of body glucose level the gluconeogenesis process is stimulated.

 The conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate,one of the most important reaction of gluconeogenesis is boosted by the  high cellular level of  accumulated acetyl CoA.

The diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane is called
balandron [24]
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.This allows only certain particles to go through including water and leaving behind the solutes including salt and other contaminants. In the process of reverse osmosis, thin film composite membranes (TFC or TFM) are used.
