The organelle which is most likely to be missing from leaf cells is Lysosomes.

Lysosomes are an important organelle for eukaryotic animal cells as they contain the digestive enzymes. The macromolecules or foreign matter which are harmful for the cells enter the animal cells easily but not the plant cells as the plant cells contain cell walls. Phagocytosis or digestion of macromolecules is not much needed in plant cells so a lysosome can be missing from the leaf cell.

<span>A cell is the most basic form of life. It is what most of the organisms are made off. For the organism to function, the cell must also function. It has organelles too that helps functions what the microorganisms need. A leaf cell contains chloroplasts that animal cells and other cells do not have. The chloroplast is where the photosynthesis happens. It needs sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Notice that the leaf has a broader surface area to enable them to be exposed to the sun.</span>

If you look through a microscope and see a cell with chromosomes lined up two by two, what stage of cellular reproduction must y

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

2. meiosis I only

Explanation:

During the zygotene stage of prophase-I of meiosis-I, homologous chromosomes synapse and are paired up. These paired homologous chromosomes are called bivalents. These paired homologous chromosomes align themselves at the equatorial plate of the cell during metaphase-I. Therefore, when observed through a microscope, cells are shown lined up two by two. During meiosis-II and mitosis, individual chromosomes with two sister chromatids are aligned at the cell's equator in metaphase.

Complete hydrolysis of a nonapeptide gave 3 ala, 2 phe, 2 asp, gly, and ser. Reaction of the nonapeptide with Sanger's reagent (

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Alanine is obtained as the first amino acid, taking into account that the reaction with the Sanger reagent hydrolyzes N- (2,4-dinitrophenyl) alanine. thus with the fragments of the partial hydrolysis they are organized to create a polypetidic chain

ala-asp-gly-ala

gly-ala-phe

phe-be-wing

be-wing-phe-asp

We obtain that the correct sequence of the peptide is "ala-asp-gly-ala-phe-ser-ala-phe-asp"

sasho [114]

Chesapeake bay is an area that has suffered from overharvesting and eutrophication. Eutrophication is an enrichment of water by nutrients salts that causes structural changes in the ecosystem such as increased formation of algae and aquatic plants, depletion of fish species among other effects. The greatest source of nitrogen and phosphorus in a Chesapeake bay is agriculture

<h3>What is body homeostasis?</h3>

The term body homeostasis makes reference to the internal equilibrium (homeostasis) of the body.

Body homeostasis may involve the production of certain substances when they are not consumed from the diet.

In this case, it is possible to increase cholesterol levels by having certain healthy habits (food habits).
