Answer:

B.) Folic acid

Explanation:

Folic acid is an essential vitamin for the development of the central nervous system of the baby.

During the first weeks of pregnancy, the brain and the rest of the nervous system develop in the embryo, including the closure of the neural tube (which contains the spinal cord).

If the neural tube does not close completely, malformations occur. The most frequent are:

-  Anencephaly (lack of development of the brain and cranial bones).

- Spina bifida (a defect in the spine and spinal cord).

To reduce the number of congenital anomalies in newborns, adequate consumption of this vitamin must begin before conception and spread during the first weeks of pregnancy.

Eating foods with folic acid is important and that is why in our country there is a law that requires flour to be enriched with this vitamin. However, food does not offer sufficient prevention and that is why it is important that the health team advises women of childbearing age to consume a folic acid supplement from before they become pregnant.

Which is a component of cell theory?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

A postulate that is part of the cell theory is cells come from cells (option 2).

Explanation:

The third postulate of the cell theory is "All cells originate from other cells".

After Schleiden and Scwann proposed the first postulates of the cell theory, in 1863 the anatomist Rudolf Virchow observed how <u>cells were able to reproduce themselves and give rise to new cells</u>, in the context of his studies on cancer. The third postulate of the theory is due to this scientist, who was able to conclude that every living cell originates from another cell.

The three postulates of the cell theory are:

  1. <em>Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. </em>
  2. <em>All living beings are made up of one or more cells. </em>
  3. <u><em>All cells originate from other cells.</em></u>

Based on this contribution from three scientists, the foundations of cell biology were laid.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <u><em>Cells como from bacteria, non-living matter or non-cells</em></u><em> are part of theories about the origin of cells.</em>
