Answer:
The correct option is a) "decrease the amount of GTP to inhibit microtubule elongation and block secretion"
Explanation:
Since microtubules play a critical role in transporting secretory vesicles, preventing it from elongating will keep it from performing this function. Completely eliminating the microtubules from the cell as suggested in option d will harm the cells and other processes in it because the microtubules also have an integral part to play in maintaining cell shape & structure.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
Answer:
The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.
Explanation:
The skeleton can be divided into the <em>axial skeleton</em> (the skull and the vertebral column), <em>visceral skeleton</em> (ribs and sternum) and the <em>appendicular skeleton</em> (extremities).
The function of the <em><u>visceral skeleton</u></em> is to <em>support and protect</em> the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.
In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.
Answer:
Explanation:
This question appear wrong. Cells do not divide other cells as cells have the ability to undergo individual cell division as seen in cell cycle. However, there are some factors that could lead to increased cell division; factors such as cancer and viral infection can lead to increased division of certain cell types.
There is also a cell organelle present in mammalian cells that facilitates the division of a cell - this organelle is known as centriole. Centrioles do this by assisting in the separation of chromosomes during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.
