In the darkness, a pinpoint of light becomes visible. Someone has turned on a flashlight. The pin­point grows to the size of the

bulb. Because this is slow motion, only the bulb is bright. Nothing else lights up—yet.
Now the light begins to spread outward from the bulb. It fills a bigger and bigger space. As the light moves forward, it strikes little fog droplets, the ground, a sneaker, a tree, a cat. After each collision, some light bounces off. It is redirected. Some of it reaches a person's eyes. Only then can the light trigger the person's eyes and brain. In slow, stretched-out speech, the person says, "L000000-000000k! Aaaaaaaaaaaa caaaaaa-aaat!"

Your science teacher asks you to build a model of a cell. The model should look like a city, and buildings in the city should re
Mariulka [41]

Answer: The correct answer is B)  city hall:control center.

As per the question, model of cell looks like a city where different buildings correspond to different organelles ( membrane bound subcellular compartments like nucleus, golgi complex, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum).

Nucleus is a specialized membrane bound compartment that possesses the genetic material ( DNA) of the Eukaryotes ( like plants and animals).

Nucleus controls all the essential activities of the cell by regulating the expression of gene ( segment of DNA corresponding to a particular protein).

Therefore, in the model of cell, city hall;control center represents the nucleus of the cell.

Not all intercellular signals require transduction. Which one of the following signals would be processed without transduction?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The correct answer would be a lipid-soluble signal.

Signal transduction refers to the set or cascade of bio-chemical reactions take place in a cell in order to transmit the chemical or physical signal from outside the cell to inside target molecule.

It is usually initiated by receptors present on the membrane of the cell which sense the extracellular stimulus (such as ligand, hormone, pressure, temperature, pressure etc). Once activated, these receptors activate the cascade of reaction which ultimately reaches the target molecule and produces a cell's response.

In contrast, the lipid-soluble signals (such as steroidal hormones, thyroid hormone etc) enter the cell membrane without any hindrance. They directly bind to intra-cellular receptor present in the cytoplasm or on the nuclear membrane.

The hormone-receptor complex then enters the nucleus and act as transcription factor and produces the response in the form of transcription.

9. why do mammalian muscle cells perform lactic acid fermentation (instead of, say, ethanol fermentation)?
Crank

Alcoholic fermentation and indeed most forms of fermentation are low-energy producing. The waste products are often medium-sized hydrocarbons/alcohols that, when fully oxidized to carbon dioxide provide more energy.

Cells ferment sugars to lactic acid B. During training. This is why your muscles are sore and sore during exercise. Essentially, building this lactic acid causes your muscles to scream for oxygen and use a simplified fermentation process to meet their energy needs, which is not efficient at all.

Yes, animals will ferment for a short time if they are not supplied with enough oxygen. Humans perform lactic acid fermentation when the body urgently needs a lot of energy. If you sprint as fast as you can, your cells only have a few seconds of ATP stored. When stored ATP is depleted, muscles begin to produce ATP through lactic acid fermentation.
