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

Why do you think the dna is stored cold with the instagene matrix after boiling the samples?
seropon [69]
<span>The DNA is stored cold with the instagene matrix after boiling samples in order to slow bacterial growth. In that way, you will greatly slow down the activity of any remaining enzymes that could harm your DNA. Most likely it is a way of preserving the DNA and to avoid it bacterial contamination.</span>

Which of the following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

  • <u>Option-(B):</u> The following is not an observation or inference on which natural selection is based is the characteristics of a poorly adapted individuals which can never produce offspring.

Explanation:

  • The idea of natural selection basically follows the analyses of the heritable characters which passes from one generation into another, having the specific set of data or genome been transferred into there descendants. And how each specie goes through the process of survival in order to have more chances to acquire the required natural resources and shelter for them selves inside a region or area.
