Minchanka [31]

Answer:

by inhibiting the mitotic spindle plasticity

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the mitotic spindle is the cytoskeletal structure by which sister chromatids are separated during cell division. Spindle microtubules are known to drive chromosome segregation, while tubulins are Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs) that attach to microtubules in order to modulate their dynamics. Antimitotic drugs are nowadays widely used in chemotherapy to disrupt microtubule assembly and chromosome segregation, thereby producing mitotic arrest and cell death (apoptosis).

Energy and Matter Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Explain how energy is conserved in cellular respiration. Include in you

wolverine [178]

Answer:

In the organism matter and energy also follows the law of conversion which means energy or matter can not be created or destroyed, it just changes its form in any system.

Cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction that converts chemical energy in the form of the energy that is used by the cell by breaking the complex sugar and other macromolecules into simple and smaller components and release waste products with the energy in ATP (a useable form of energy for the cell).

The energy stored in the bonds of the sugar and other organic molecules take place in this process converted into the chemical bond formed in ATP, is exactly the same only changed its form.
