Cells in a cat's pancreas produce insulin, but the cells in its heart do not. Which statement best explains this?

Biology
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. The genes for insulin production are not activated in heart cells.

Explanation:

<u>DNA </u><u>is present in practically every cell in an organism</u>, but not every cell performs the same tasks as the rest. This happens because genes in the DNA   <u>code for different types of proteins</u>, from enzymes to transporters, that impact greatly on the <u>function</u> of a cell; and these genes can be activated or inactivated which will directly correlate to the type of cell and the function that it has.

<u>If the cells in the pancreas can produce insulin but the cells in the heart can't it's because the cells in the heart have the genes for insulin production inactivated</u>.

The amount of mitochondria and ribosomes does not directly affect the production of insulin.

How do cricket communicate temperature and reactions and body parts allow them to do this?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

as temperature rises, mussles in a crickets body contract more, causing it to chirp more often

Explanation:Crickets, like all living things, have many chemical reactions going on inside their bodies, such as reactions that allow muscles to contract to produce chirping. Crickets, like all insects, are cold-blooded and take on the temperature of their surroundings. This affects how quickly these chemical muscle reactions can occur. Specifically, a formula called the Arrhenius equation describes the activation, or threshold, energy required to make these reactions occur. As the temperature rises, it becomes easier to reach a certain activation energy, thereby allowing chemical reactions, such as the ones that allow a cricket to chirp, to occur more rapidly.

In the exercise to determine the concentration of a solution of CuSO4, for the
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

Experimentally, when trying to determine the concentration of an unknown sample of CuSO₄ with known absorbance, a standard curve is used. The standard curve is a scattered plot/graph in which known concentrations and there respective/corresponding absorbance are plotted on a "X and Y axis" graph (scattered plot). The absorbance is represented on the y-axis while the concentration is represented on the x-axis.

Once this known values are plotted on the standard curve, an unknown value (either absorbance or concentration) can be extrapolated from the curve. What is missing from the question is data required for the standard curve.

This question shows the absorbance of the CuSO₄ has been determined (most likely using spectrophotometer), the concentration could have been extrapolated from a standard curve.

An example of a standard curve is provided in the attachment for guidance.

Give two examples of human body systems and state how they might work together to maintain homeostasis.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Your circulatory system delivers oxygen-rich blood to your bones. Meanwhile, your bones are busy making new blood cells. Working together, these systems maintain internal stability and balance, otherwise known as homeostasis. Disease in one body system can disrupt homeostasis and cause trouble in other body systems
