Answer:

(look at the explanation below)

Explanation:

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.

Desmosomes form channels that allow each cardiocyte to electrically stimulate its neighbors. True False
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The most specific feature of cardiac muscles is the presence of intercalated discs. Intercalated disc connects the ends of cardiac muscle fibers to one another. The discs have desmosomes and gap junctions. The function of desmosomes is to hold the cardiac fibers together. The gap junctions of cardiac fibers allow muscle action potentials to spread from one cardiac muscle fiber to another. These gap junctions have tubular connexons that form channels and connect the cytosol of adjacent cardiocytes to allow the flow of ions and spread of action potential from one cell to another.

A student claims that cellular respiration is essential to cells so that they have a means for getting rid of excess carbon diox
Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).

atroni [7]
Qualitative analytic methods are needed to determine THE IDENTITY OF THE POISON USED IN A MURDER.
Quantitative analytic methods are used to identify unknown materials such as chemical compounds, poisons, etc. In a criminal investigation case, qualitative analytic method can be used to identify the particular poison that was used to murder a victim. Qualitative methods do not involve numeric data or figures while quantitative methods typically has to do with the quantity of a substance that is involved in a particular situation.This is basic difference between the two methods.
