Fertilization of the egg cell by the sperm usually takes place in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus and implants in the endometrium.

<h3>What are fallopian tubes?</h3>
  • Fallopian tubes are also called oviducts or uterine tubes. It is the passage through which the egg enters the uterine cavity from the ovary.
  • Fallopian tubes are part of the reproductive tract. They have a smooth muscle wall, an inner mucous membrane, and an outer layer of loose supporting tissue (serosa).
<h3>Why does fertilization take place in the fallopian tubes?</h3>

The fallopian tube (oviduct) regulates fertilization through sperm induction and sperm hyperactivity. Sperm induction is achieved by rheotaxis, thermotaxis, and chemotaxis. Rheotaxis is caused by tubal fluid that creates a current flow from the tubal ampulla to the tubal isthmus.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively.

Explanation

  • A muscle is an organ composed of muscle tissue that contract to facilitate a particular movement
  • biceps,triceps and quadriceps  are types of skeletal muscles since they use bones as levers
  • <em><u>They differ in that; the biceps have two origins, triceps have three origins and quadriceps have four origin.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Bicep is a two headed muscle thus said to have two origins ,triceps have three muscle heads and therefore have three separate origin attachment point while quadriceps are made of four muscles heads hence have four origins. </u></em>

Metabolic pathways can be controlled through the availability of enzymes and modulation of their catalytic activities. Enzyme av
postnew [5]

Answer: a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification

Explanation:

Metabolic pathways involve all the chemical processes takes place in the enviornment or in an organisms.The metabolic pathways are controlled through the catalytic activities of enzymes.

The availability of enzyme is regulated  by substrate and cofactors present in enzyme and enzyme activity is commonly regulated via covalent modification.

Enzymes are highly selective in nature and bind to a specific substarte only. The active site in enzyme binds with the substrate to form enzyme substrate complex. Coactors assist the enzyme activity, without cofactor enzyme can not perform its activity.

Hence enzyme availibility is regulated by  substrate and cofactors regulates.

Covalent modifications regulates activity of enzyme as it involves addition and removal of chemical group to synthesis required protein. It can change the chemical properties of the site by targeting one or multiple amino acid.

Thus the correct answer is a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification
