Peroxisomes play a key role in the oxidation of specific biomolecules. ... Peroxisomes contain enzymes that oxidize certain molecules normally found in the cell, notably fatty acids and amino acids. Those oxidation reactions produce hydrogen peroxide, which is the basis of the name peroxisome.

Answer:

You would not be able to extend the leg straight

The hamstrings start at the pelvis and end in the lower leg so they wouldn't be affected.

If the muscles are damaged movement is not possible.

The Hip bone is more attached to the pelvis and bone rather than upper leg muscles.

If the upper muscles are damages, movement would be extremely painful or impossible if we assume the sliding filament theory is correct making that the correct answer.

As a child, Alex was short for his age. But during his teenage years, his height increased and he surpassed most of his friends.
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

B. Cells in Alex’s body underwent mitosis to create new tissue

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that forms two genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell. It occurs in somatic cells and is responsible for the growth and development of individuals.  

Alex gained the height as the cells in tissues of his body underwent the mitosis and produced new daughter cells. Repeated cycles of mitosis added a large number of new cells to his body to form new tissues in his body parts and caused an increase in his height.
