Because these smaller cells can access and pass through the membranes of the other cell membranes and permeable coverings easily and voluntarily unlike larger cells. It is also for efficient for these smaller and miniscule cells to penetrate and travel, delivering and transporting goods and materials such as nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body without consuming enough energy and conserving lesser space.
For simple reasons, they are faster, more efficient and consumes little space, and most especially depletes lesser energy.
Answer:
The human system is a complicated living organism that is structured of internal and external organs and fluids. It has the heart, liver, kidneys, stomach, large and small intestines, brain, and skin.
Answer:
A) The striations are due to the orderly arrangement of actin and myosin
Explanation:
Smooth muscles are non-striated involuntary muscles which are found in the walls of stomach, urinary bladder, blood vessels...Smooth muscle tissue is composed of spindle-shaped muscle cells with single central nucleus. Like the other two type of muscles (cardiac and skeletal), smooth muscles also have four main functions:
- Contractility-ability to contract. In the case of skeletal muscles it is voluntary, while in cardiac and smooth muscles it is unconscious.
- Excitability-ability to change membrane potential usually by the influence of nervous impulse.
- Extensibility-the capacity to lengthen
- Elasticity-ability to change its length and then return to previous.
Answer:
(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.
Explanation:
<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>
Option A is true because enzymes are not used up or changed when they are used to catalyze reactions
Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.
Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.
Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.
<em>The only untrue option is D. Some enzymes can function outside living cells. For example, the enzymes involved in digestion can function not just within living cells but also outside it. The functions of some of the digestive enzymes can be demonstrated in the laboratory.</em>
The correct option is D.
The smallest type of stream is a brook.
