Answer:The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM , while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

Explanation: ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM or  RER is a cisternae organelle that have two faces: the cytosolic face and the nucleus face. The cytosolic face is studded with ribosomes that are responsible for synthesizing proteins, a process known as translation. In the cells that produce hair, keratinocytes, the main protein synthesized is keratin.

SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM is an organelle that lacks ribosomes and the function is related to lipid synthesis, different case that proteins synthesis. Specialized cells located in the SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) produces the oils that coat the hair called sebum to lubricate the hair. These cells secrete the sebum in an holocrine way. The composition of the sebum is made of triglycerides, wax esters, squalene.

Answer:

1. rough endoplasmic reticulum

2. smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Hair, which is made up of cells called KERATINOCYTES, is primarily made up of a protein called KERATIN. Cells in every part of the body contains organnelles that performs certain functions. Based on the asked question, we'll be looking at two of these organnelles; Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a cellular organnelle that is directly involved in the production of proteins in a cell due to the attachment of ribosomes (site of protein synthesis) to it. Hence, RER is responsible for the production of matured proteins in a cell. The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, on the other hand, is involved in the synthesis of lipids (fats and oils) in a cell.

Since the hair is basically made up of keratin protein, it is just sensible that the cells responsible for the production of hair (keratinocytes) will be rich in the organnelles that produces proteins (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) while the cells that produces the oily substances that coat the hair will be rich in the organnelle that synthesizes oil (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum).

Why are lipids unique when compared to the other macromolecule groups?
Veronika [31]
Lipids are unique because, they are made from one carbon skeleton unlike the other macro molecules groups which are made from smaller building blocks.
With the exception of steroid hormones, lipids are generally hydrophobic. Also lipids are relative small molecules when compare in size with other macromolecules.

Hi Geny!

Question - Describe the cell theory and the developments that led to the cell theory.

Answer:

There are 3 main components of cell theory:

  1. Each and every organism is wither unicellular or multicellular.
  2. The basic unit of life is the cell.
  3. Cells are created from cells that had existed previously.

There were 3 scientists that made cell theory each of the 3 components of above were the 3 scientists.

  1. Mathia Schleiden discovered that plants were made of mainly cells.
  2. Rudolf Virchow discovered that cells are created from calls that had existed previously.
  3. Theodore Schwann discovered that animals were also made of mainly cells.

Hope This Helps :)
