Different structure in an organism are specialized to perform different tasks in the organism depending on their makeup. A few examples are:
Heart, veins, arteries are structures forming the cardiovascular system and function is to facilitate transport nutrients and oxygen carried by blood all over the body.
Bones, joints, ligaments and cartilage are structures of the skeletal system and their function is support and protection of the body.
Mouth, esophagus. stomach, large and small intestines are structures of the digestive system and their function is to break down food and absorb nutrients.
Answer:
When helicase mutations occur, problems in DNA replication are found. The helicases are proteins that open the 2 strands of DNA to initiate the duplication, they are responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two DNA chains, thus separating the chains, also they have the function of repairing DNA mutations, if there is mutation in the gene that encodes them, various functions will be absent in the cell.
those would be myofibrils
Answer:
1. Signaling molecule
2. Signaling receptors
Explanation:
Hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc. serve the function of signaling molecules for cells. These molecules are released by one cell and bind to the receptors present on/in the target cells to elicit the desired response. Thereby, the signaling molecules serve in cell-cell communication.
For example, insulin hormone synthesized and released from beta cells of pancreas binds to its cell surface receptors present on the surfaces of liver cells and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of the glucose from the blood.
Likewise, neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic neuron bind to receptors present on the membrane of postsynaptic neuron and serve to carry the nerve impulse to the postsynaptic neuron.
