What are some fun facts on animal and plant cells.

1 answer:

6 0

Animal cells:
They are self sufficient, because of Nano-Chemical factories, so they can make their own stuff like cell membranes.
A cell can destroy itself through apoptosis in the event that it is irreparable.

Plant cells:
These were the first type of cells discovered by us.
Plants only actually use about 1/6 of the energy they get from photosynthesis, the rest is stored for animals that eat the plant.<span />

In which population is genetic equilibrium most likely to occur?

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

RANDOM MATING

Explanation:

random mating

The Hardy Weinberg principle of genetic equilibrium defines that gene and allelic frequencies will remain the same among the generations in an infinitely large interbreeding population. In this population the mating among the members of the population is random and no selection, migration and mutation will occur.

An analysis of a cell indicated a high lipid content in the membranes, a high protein content in the vesicles being mobilized an

Anon25 [30]

The option that best illustrates the similarity and difference in the elemental makeup of these molecules is that carbohydrates and lipids both contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, while the proteins contain nitrogen in addition to those three elements. That is option B.

Carbohydrates are macromolecule found is food substances that plays a vital role of energy supply to the body.

It is made up of chemical elements such as carbon,hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1:2:1.

Lipid is another macromolecule found in food which is an energy reserve for the body.

Lipids are made up of elements seen in carbohydrates such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but contain many more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms.

Proteins are another type of macromolecule found in food which helps in body building and repair of worn out tissues.

Proteins are made up of elements seen in carbohydrates and lipids with the addition of nitrogen atom.

Therefore, carbohydrates and lipids both contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, while the proteins contain nitrogen in addition to those three elements.

how would you use the scientific method to answer this question: do mice live longer when they are fed high-sugar diets

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The question: Do mice live longer when they are fed high sugar diets?

Hypothesis: There are two hypothesis the null hypothesis which we assume is correct, it states that a high sugar diet will have no effect on the life span of a mouse and an alternate hypothesis that we accept if evidence shows that sugar does increase the life span if mice. It says a high sugar diet does incerease the life span of mice.

Prediction: Assume that the null hypothesis is correct. High sugar diets will not increase the life span of the mice.

Collect data through experimentation. Use some mice as a 'control'. These mice will not undergo any changes but will be kept for comparison. Expose some other mice to high sugar diets and the compare the outcome with the 'control' mice.

Analyzing: From the experiment this you can choose which hypothesis you are going to accept. I.e. null: no change or alternate: there was a change and do some extra research to back up your hypothesis.

Hope this helps :)

Part 1- Explain which traits would need to combine in order for a yellow cucumber and a green to make a green cucumber.

adelina 88 [10]

<h2>Part 1.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

Only the traits or allele for the green trait will be needed to make a green cucumber.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Here in the given example there are two allele responsible for the color of cucumber. One is Y which is dominant allele and codes for the yellow color.

While y is recessive allele and it will be code for the green color.

In case of heterozygous in which the genotype will be Yy but the phenotype will be always yellow because Y is dominant.

In case of genotype yy the phenotype will be green.

So for green cucumber there will be two y in the genotype.

<h2>Part 2.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

For yellow cucumber, there is need of only one dominant allele which codes for yellow.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to the given punnet squre, There will be 4 genotypes from the breeding of a yellow cucumber and green cucumber.

The yellow cucumber is heterozygous or homozygous and its genotypes can be Yy and YY relatively.

But for green cucumber the genotype can only be homozygous which is yy.

In the punnet squre the 2 phenotype are yellow and green.

Hence for the yellow cucumber there is only need of one Y allele in genotype.
