Answer:

Because stained specimens gets damaged or distorted and hence give inaccurate information.

Explanation:

  • To stain the specimens and the extensive procedure is followed which involves procuring the sample, fixing them and the staining and mounting them for observation.
  • While staining an organism, it needs to be put into a suspension liquid, then fixated in the heat so that it will stay on the slide.
  • This process of suspending in fluid and heating can damage the cells or distort their shape and structure as proteins are heat sensitive and thus, the information obtained through stained specimens is less accurate than provided by living organisms.

How does the structure of the cell membrane help the cell regulate water?
erik [133]
The major purpose of the cell membrane is to regulate the types of substances that enter the cells and leave the cell, thus, it is a semi permeable structure.
The structure of the cell membrane help the cell in regulating the amount of the water inside the cell because, when the optimum amount of water is inside the cell, the membrane will not allow the pasage of water molecules into the cell again.
And in a situation, where the concentration of substance inside the cell is above the normal concentration, the cell membrane will allow the required amount of water to flow into the cell in order to reduce the concentration.
Also, the phospholipid bilayers that are found in the cell membrane help to regulate water homeostasis of the cell by using its hydrophobic tail to repel water molecules and thus keep them out or inside of the cells.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Human reproduction is any form of sexual reproduction that results in fertilisation by humans. It normally includes a man and a woman having sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, the contact between male and female reproductive systems leads to the woman's ovum being fertilised by the man's sperm.

In human fertilization, a hapoloid ovum is released that fuses with a haploid sperm and produces a single 2n diploid cell called the zygote.

Hence, the correct option is C.
