Peroxisome is the organelle that would be expected to target and detoxify the plant compounds.

Peroxisomes are tiny membrane-bound organelles that contain several enzymes which are involved in various biochemical pathways in different types of cells. Peroxisomes go through oxidation reactions that results in the production of hydrogen peroxide which is harmful to the cell. The enzyme catalase is present in the peroxisomes. Catalase neutralizes the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide by decomposing it to water and oxygen. In that way, certain molecules such as fatty acids, amino acids, and uric acids are broken down by oxidative reactions in peroxisomes.

Negative feedback is most like _____. A.an air conditioner that turns on if the temperature gets too hot B.adding wood to a burn
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<span>First, we need to clarify what negative feedback means. Negative feedback is a response that is fed back to the input and that tends to reduce the fluctuation of the output. Negative tries to confer stability to the system. So, you can see that the option B. cannot be because if you add more wood to a fire the fire will increase instead of extinguish. The option A implies a signal (from the high temperature) that starts the air conditioner, so it brings the system out of the equilibrium. The option C. indeed signals that the "full" signal es fed back and the organism will stop eating and so it reaches equilibrium. The answer is the option C. not eating any more when you are full.</span><span />

In animals, the production of body cells is classified as asexual reproduction, but the production of reproductive cells or game
raketka [301]
Hello

The type of asexual reproduction done by prokaryotic cells is termed as the binary fission. Binary fission is a reproduction process wherein one cell divides asexually into two cells forming two daughter cells. into In binary fission, the chromosome is being replicated in which the resultant prokaryote is exactly the same copy of the parental prokaryote which means to say that there is no chance for genetic diversity. However, prokaryotes can still share or even exchange genes through the mechanisms of  transformation, transduction and conjugation.
