Answer:

A) Cell growth and repair would slow or stop.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are tiny biological structures present in the cytoplasm of a cell and comprise bio molecules like RNA and some proteins. Ribosomes along with mRNA and tRNA participate in translation i.e. protein synthesis.

We all know that hormones which are responsible for growth are largely proteins. Also the enzymes which repair damaged cell/tissue in the body of an organism are also proteins. So, in case ribosomes of a cell will be damaged or become malfunctional then the cell growth and repair will either slow down or  it will halt completely.

Greetings!

Option A would be correct. The most likely outcome, (if) ribosomes stopped functioning properly, would be Cell growth stopping, or slowing down.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

c. Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle, but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle.

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Cardiac muscle is also referred to as myocardium and it's one of the three (3) muscles found only in the heart of vertebrates, the other two (2) being smooth muscle tissue and skeletal muscle tissue.

Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle referred to as sarcomeres (contractile units), but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle and it's typically being regulated by the sinoatrial node of the heart.

How does cholera coonnect with the concepts of cell to cell communication?
Advocard [28]
Cholera occurs when the G protein cannot hydrolyze GTP to GDP so the G protein is always active. This causes water and salt to leak out causing diarrhea and eventually death by dehydration.

Hope this helps!
