I would say the stomach is most similar to the mitochondria. This is because the purpose of the mitochondria in a cell is to break down molecules, such as glucose, nucleic & fatty acids, etc., into ATP (cell energy) so it can be used productively. The purpose of the stomach is to break down molecules of whatever is being consumed, so it can later be absorbed by the large and small intestine, and what is absorbed goes into the cells to be used productively.

Put simply, the stomach is similar to the mitochondria because they both provide energy for the greater thing they function, cell or body.

Hope this helps, and hope I was the brainliest! :)

The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.

Atoms contain Positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. why doesn’t ordinary Atom have no charge?

Lorico [155]

Neutrons have no charge. This means the nucleus of an atom is always positively charged. An atom has a neutral overall charge because it has the same number of electrons as protons.

Reproductive cells are created by _____. A. mitosis B. meiosis C. cytokinesis

maksim [4K]

The answer is B. meiosis.

All cells in an organism are diploid (2n). Only reproductive cells are haploid cells (n). Mitosis is a division of a cell into two daughter cells identical to the mother cell. Meiosis is a cell division during which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half (from 2n to n). So, reproductive cells (n) are created by meiosis.
Cytokinesis is the phase during mitosis and meiosis.

The amount of bacteria doubles every day. If there are 320 bacteria on day 6 , when will there be 5,120 bacteria?

Talja [164]

Answer:

Day 10

Explanation:

If the number of bacteria increases by a factor of two each day (i.e. it doubles), it will reach 5120 by day 10. At this rate, the colony likely started with 10 bacteria on day one and doubled each day to reach 320 by day 6.

Day 6- 320 bacteria

Day 7- 320×2= 640 bacteria

Day 8- 640×2= 1280 bacteria

Day 9- 1280×2= 2560 bacteria

Day 10- 2560×2= 5120 bacteria

Mary loved having her goldfish tank in her office. She said watching the fish swim around was calming to her on stressful days.

Answer: I think that the reason to this is because the oxygen abundance was too low, the competition for food and other resources was too high, so there could be fish the would be filtered out and be killed.
