Ionic iron is actively transported into the mucosal cells, where it binds to the protein ferritin, a phenomenon called the mucos

al iron barrier. True / False.
Biology
1 answer:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The ionic form of iron (Fe2+ and Fe3+) can damage the molecules present in the cell and in the blood. Protective protein escorts namely transferring and ferritin bind to the ionic form of iron during its transport and storage.

In small intestine during absorption, the ionic form of iron is actively transported into the mucosa of intestinal lining. Once inside the mucosal cells, it binds to the ferritin protein. These iron-ferritin complexes of mucosal cells are the stored form of iron.

Following its active absorption, the binding of iron to ferritin in mucosal cells of intestinal lining is referred to as the mucosal iron barrier. When needed, a few of the stored iron is passed into the portal blood while the major proportion of the stored iron is released from the barrier only when the epithelial cells are sloughed off.

In order to study the formation of cancer cells, you should study the life cycle of normal cells as cancer cells are abnormal cells. 

Actually, Normal cells grow, divides and died after an interval of time. And when this process is break down, cancer cells begin to form. They are usually old cells which don't die after their life cycle.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: c) Some organisms rely on energy captured from inorganic compounds to drive basic biological processes.

Explanation:

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot spots of geothermal water. The organisms living in deep-sea vents cannot obtain energy from sunlight. They are dependent on chemosynthesis, which involves the utilization of inorganic substances to produce organic substances, which allows their survival and act as a source of energy. In the given situation, bacteria present on the surface of mussels are capable of chemosynthesis also the mussels are dependent upon inorganic hydrogen in seawater. Thus chemosynthesis supports the survival of organisms living in the deep sea vents.
