When inhaled, crystalline silica can cause scar tissue to form on what organs?

Answer:

lungs

Explanation:

Inhaling silica causes permanent damage to the lungs and can lead to death.

When people inhale crystalline silica, the tissue present in the lungs reacts and develope fibrotic nodules. It also scars the lung tissue around the trapped silica particles. If these fibrotic nodules grow large, breathing becomes difficult.

Breathing in crystalline silica dust can cause a severe even fatal case called silicosis. When silica enters into the lungs, it causes the formation of scar tissue and makes it difficult for the lungs to take oxygen. There is no cure to silicosis.

Therefore, Inhaling crystalline silica affects the lungs.

Crystalline silica is a natural compound in the earth's crust and is a basic component of sand and granite. Silicosis is an incurable disease of the lungs caused by breathing crystalline silica dust. This dust can cause scar tissue to form in the lungs.

The cell will enter the G1 phase. During this phase, proteins and nucleotides needed for DNA replication will be produced. Also,
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer and Explanation:

The interphase is the previous step before mitosis occurs. The interphase is conformed of the G1, S, and G2 stages.

  • During the G1 stage, it occurs a high intense biochemical activity. The cell duplicates its size, and the organelles and other molecules and cytoplasmatic structures duplicate too. Some structures, such as microtubules and actin filaments, are synthesized from zero. The endoplasmic reticulum increases in size and produces a membrane for the Golgi apparatus and vacuoles, lysosomes, and vesicles. During this stage, the pair of centrioles separate, and each centriole duplicates. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also replicate.

The stages S and G2 follow the G1. Once the whole interphase is completed, mitosis occurs.

  • During the S stage occurs the DNI replication process. At this point, it also occurs the synthesis of histones and other associated proteins. This is the only stage where the DNI molecule is replicated.
  • G2 stage is the final one before the cellular division. Here it begins the slow process of DNI condensation. Duplication of centrioles completes. Structures such as spindle fibers are assembled.
