Biology
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Sucrose is  called as complex sugar which is made up of  sub-units glucose and fructose. Our bodies need to break this down before it can utilize it as energy.

Glucose is the simplest form of sugar and can be utilized by the body as soon as it enters the blood stream. It doesn't have to go through any metabolic process.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Lycopodium which is an example of Club mosses are seedless vascular plants that are heterosporous.

Explanation:

The club mosses, or phylum Lycopodiophyta, are the earliest group of seedless vascular plants. They can either be homosporous or heterosporous

Some club mosses like Lycopodium clavatum, sporangia are arranged in clusters called strobili.

Lycopodium is heterosporous (while some club mosses are homosporus.

Heterosporus means that spores of two different sizes and sexes are produced by the sporophytes of land plants.

Proteins destined for the following locations are sorted in the trans-Golgi:
taurus [48]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Golgi apparatus is an organelle in eukaryotic cells that stores and modifies (might include addition of sugar groups) proteins and lipids for certain functions and prepare them for transport to other parts of the cell.

In the Endoplasmic reticulum, proteins fold into into their correct shape. Some of them are transported to the Golgi apparatus in membrane vesicles. Some proteins need to do their jobs in the Golgi (they are said to be Golgi-resident). They are transported from the golgi appratus to their final destinations through a secretory pathway. It involves sorting proteins into different kinds of transport vesicles, which emanate from the trans Golgi network and deliver their contents to the appropriate cellular locations.

Proteins that are membrane embedded are conveyed to the plasma membrane (integral membrane proteins) by constitutive secretion. Proteins can divert from constitutive secretion pathway and be targeted towards other destinations such as lysosomes (as lysosomal proteins) and regulated secretion from cells (to the cell exterior).

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Circulatory system.

Explanation:

Circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular system which is used to circulate the blood around the body of most of the animals. It mainly consists of a heart that is used to pump the blood and different blood vessel that are used for the transportation of blood to different parts of the body.

The main functions plays by circulatory system are:

1. It provides oxygen to different organs of the body through blood.

2. It helps in providing nutrients, hormones to different organs and remove waste products from cells.

3. It helps in locating the immune cells to the injury site which helps the body to fight the infection.

spin [16.1K]

Step 1. mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus, exits to the cytosol through, and binds to a ribosome.

Step 2. Protein synthesis occurs at the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Step 3. The protein travels by vesicle from one organelle to another inside the cell.

Step 4. The Golgi apparatus processes, sorts, and tags the protein for delivery to its final destination.

Step 5. Exocytosis.
