The correct answer is "calcium, sodium, potassium, and other minerals".
The term "essential nutrients" refers to the group of nutrients which are necessary for the normal functioning of human physiology but they cannot be synthesized by the human body. This means that these nutrients need to be obtained from external sources. This category of nutrients is comprised of some amino acids, two fatty acids, some vitamins and minerals.
Glucose and cellulose are not part of the essential nutrients. Also, only 9 of the 20 protein-producing amino acids cannot be synthesized by the human body and are therefore considered essential.

When does the total number of chromosomes get reduced from 46 pairs to 23 individual chromosomes? View Available Hint(s) When do
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

23 pairs of chromosomes (46 individual chromosomes) are redued to 23 individual chromosomes in meiosis I.

During Meiosis I

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having half the number of chromosomes as in the parent cell. During meiosis, cell division occurs twice because before the two halves of a duplicated chromosome (sister chromatids) is separated, it still needs to separate homologous pair of chromosomes, which is a similar but non-identical pair of chromosomes received from both parent. Hence, meiosis occurs in a two step division process; Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Note that, a diploid cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes ( 46 chromosomes in total). Each pair of chromosome is from the haploid gamete produced by each parent after meiosis.

Before going into meiosis I, the cell must first undergo growth and replicate its DNA in the interphase stage just like in mitosis. In the Prophase I of meiosis I, chromosomes condense as in mitosis but also pair up. Each chromosome aligns with its homologue pair to form a structure called TETRAD or BIVALENT.

Homologous pairs, not individual chromosomes (23 pairs in number) line up at the metaphase plate for separation during metaphase I.

In anaphase I, the homologues are pulled apart by the spindle fibres and move apart to opposite ends of the cell. The sister chromatids of each chromosome, however, remain attached to one another and don't come apart. Hence, the cell now has 23 chromosomes on one side of the cell, and another 23 on the other side.

After cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) in meiosis I, two daughter cells are produced and each now possesses 23 individual chromosomes (haploid) different from the parental 23 pairs (diploid).

N.B: Sister chromatids separate in the anaphase of meiosis II, where each chromatid is counted as an individual chromosome.

Cellular respiration and fermentation both. . A. begin with the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis. . B.produce the same number
Rus_ich [418]

The correct answer is:

A. begin with the breakdown of glucose in glycolysis.

Explanation:

They both begin with a sequence of reactions known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose particles into smaller pyruvate molecules. They are also related in that through both processes, ATP is generated for the cell to use. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that transforms glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. The free energy delivered in this process is applied to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH .

Why would it be hard to find the CO2 level if the light intensity were very low? HELP!!!!
drek231 [11]
If CO2 was in very small amounts then it would be the limiting factor of photosynthesis, this means the process will take place at a much slower rate because it is lacking one of the raw materials it needs for the process to occur. To find the optimum light intensity you really need all other factors to be at optimum levels or in abundance.

Hey guys...........please help me with this one❤❤❤❤ Every organism needs food. Does a cell also need it? Explain very briefly.
Alexxx [7]

Cells do need food. In a process known as cellular respiration, cells convert biochemical energy (oxygen as food) from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.


hope this helps.. :D
