Answer:

reacting with nitrogen and oxygen atoms in DNA, these compounds modify certain nucleotides so as to distort the normal pattern of base pairing. If these modified nucleotides were not repaired, they would allow an incorrect nucleotide to be incorporated during replication.

Where cerebrospinal fluid leaves brain to be recycled?

vovangra [49]

The fluid flows through the interventricular foramen into the third ventricle, is augmented by fluid formed by the choroid plexus of this ventricle, and passes through the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventricle, which also possesses a choroid plexus. The CSF from all theses sources , as well as any formed in the central canal of the spinal cord, escapes from the fourth ventricle into the subarachnoid space through the median aperture and lateral aperture.

Can someone help with the labels for this ?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Refer to the attached image for correct labeling.

Explanation:

The diagram is of a plant cell and its organelles.
The nucleus houses the genetic material and controls all life processes.
A plant cell contains one large vacuole in the center that stores water and nutrients.
Chloroplast is the site for photosynthesis. It captures light and utilizes it and carbondioxide to produce glucose.
Mitochondria are called the power house of the cell. Through a process called cellular respiration, they break down the glucose produced in photosynthesis into energy compounds such as ATP as well as oxygen and water.
The endoplasmic reticulum is the site for protein sysnthesis. It contains two parts: the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) which contains ribosomes that synthesize proteins and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) which packages the proteins into transport vesicles.
The nucleus contains the nucleolus that is the site for ribosome assembly.
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that covers the cell and controls cellular transport.
The cell wall is a hard, outer covering that protects the cell and maintains its structure and shape.
