which organelle is responsible for breaking down the cells that once made up the tail of the tadpole?

Biology

The cells present in the tail of the tadpole undergo a programme cell death. This is made possible when the organelles called lysosomes present in the cells break open to cause the breakdown and digestion of all the components of the cells. The lysosomes are break open only when the cells receive a signal from their neighbouring cells to undergo apoptosis, a process where the cell kills itself.

Debido a la baja cantidad de calorías que utilizamos o quemamos en un día de trabajo
Delvig [45]

Answer: Se debe a que el cuerpo lleva a cabo funciones fisiológicas vitales que requieren energía.

Explanation:

Las calorías son unidades de energía aportadas por los alimentos que consumimos a diario. Puntualmente se define la cantidad de calor necesaria para aumentar en 1 grado centígrado a la temperatura de 1 gramo de agua desde 14,5 hasta 15,5. La principal fuente de calorías en los alimentos son los hidratos de carbono, luego le siguen las grasas y proteínas.

<u>Dicha energía hallada en los alimentos, es utilizada por el cuerpo para llevar a cabo distintas funciones fisiológicas vitales e importantes para que el organismo funciones correctamente</u>, como el bombeo de sangre del corazón, funcionamiento de los riñones o el actividad del cerebro, etc. Nos referimos a esto como el metabolismo basal, el cual es el valor mínimo de energía utilizada en reacciones químicas celulares para la supervivencia del organismo. Dicho metabolismo basal depende de diversos factores tales como la edad, peso, sexo, etc. Pero también, las calorías son necesarias para distintas actividades voluntarias como caminar o levantar algún objeto.

<u>Sin embargo, la forma de energía de las calorías de los alimentos es distinta a la forma de energía necesaria para llevar a cabo estas funciones fisiológicas tanto voluntarias como involuntarias.</u> Para ello, la energía de las calorías debe de convertirse a otra forma y esto ocurre comenzando primero con la digestión de los alimentos, donde luego sus nutrientes son absorbidos en el torrente sanguíneo para luego dirigirse a las células. En las mismas, ocurre un proceso llamado respiración celular, en donde se utilizan las calorías de los alimentos para sintetizar ATP (Adenosín Trifosfato), la cual es una molécula que almacena energía utilizable por parte de las células y que eventualmente impulsará y llevará a cabo todos los procesos fisiológicos y metabólicos.

Entonces, en el caso del trabajo de una oficina en el que las personas permanecen sentadas largas horas, sin mucha actividad, <u>igualmente necesitan consumir mas de 2.000 kilocalorías diarias ya que el cuerpo debe obtener esa energía para llevar a cabo las funciones de todos los órganos para mantenerlos vivos.</u>

28) The graph below shows how the activity of an enzyme changes at different temperatures.
puteri [66]

Answer:

d) The enzyme changes shape and can no longer speed up the reaction

Explanation:

Enzymes aare protein in nature therefore sensitive to changes in temperature. Most enzymes have an optimum temperature ranging from 35-40°c. As the temperature increases, optimum temperature is reached where the rate of reaction is maximum. Temperatures above 40-63°c denatures the enzymes making them non effective thus the reaction decreases sharply.

There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. M
Feliz [49]

Answer:

cumulative dilution = 0.000001

Explanation:

A serial dilution is a stepwise kind of dilution repeated a certain number of times, in which the concentration reduces exponentially each time.

The cumulative dilution is the final dilution gotten depending on the number of times dilution has been done and the dilution factor. The formula is given as:

Cumulative dilution = (F)ⁿ

where:

F = dilution factor = 0.1

n = number of serial dilutions = 6

∴ cumulative dilution = (0.1)⁶ = 0.000001

In a population of plants, the allele for long stems (S) is completely dominant over the allele for short stems (s). If 35% of t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 48 percent.

It can be solved by using the Hardy-Weinberg equation.

p² +  2pq+ q²  = 1

p + q = 1

where, p² represents homozygous dominant's frequency that is, SS in this case,

q² represents homozygous recessive's frequency that is, ss in this case,

2pq represents heterozygous dominant's frequency that is, Ss in this case.

p represents dominant allele's frequency and q represents the recessive allele's frequency.

Now, the percentage of homozygous recessive or short stems is 35%. Therefore, the frequency of homozygous recessive would be 0.35.

Thus, the value of q² = 0.35

So, q = \sqrt{0.35} = 0.59 which is approximately equals to 0.6.

As p + q = 1 so, q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

The frequency of heterozygous (Ss) = 2pq = 2(0.6)(0.4) = 0.48

Hence, the frequency of heterozygous would be 48 percent.
