Answer:

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum differs from the rough endoplasmic reticulum in not having ribosomes on its surface. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) extends from the rough ER and forms a network of membrane tubules. The function of the smooth ER is to serve as a site for the synthesis of lipids, fatty acids, and steroids such as estrogens and testosterone.

Enzymes for the synthesis of these diverse biomolecules are present in smooth ER. The smooth ER present in the muscle cells is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It stores the calcium ions which are released into the sarcoplasm of muscle cells during muscle contraction.

Is money more important than intellect?​
iogann1982 [59]

(Think you mean intelligence)

I think, intelligence is slightly more important than money. It's so because if you have intelligence, you can very well earn a lot of money. You can make use of your brains and find out smart ways of having more income. On the other hand, money can't fetch you brains.

The last common ancestor of all animals was probably a ________. A. unicellular chytrid B. multicellular algae C. multicellular
Sati [7]

Option (D) flagellated protist is correct.

The last common ancestor of all animals was probably a flagellated protist.

<h3>What is a Protist?</h3>
  • Any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus is referred to as a protist.
  • The absence of other eukaryotes means that protists do not constitute a natural group, or clade, even though it seems likely that they all descended from a common ancestor.
  • Protozoa is another name for protists that resemble animals. Some are parasites as well.
  • The four phyla that make up the Protozoa are flagellates, ciliates, spore-forming protists, and protists that resemble amoebas.
  • Nuclear membranes surround the DNA of protists.
  • Most protists are motile, or able to move, and many of them inhabit aquatic settings.
  • Protists can reproduce sexually and/or asexually, and their life cycles are intricate.
  • Protists consume, absorb, or produce food through photosynthesis.

Insects often act as pollinators for plants. In turn, plants provide these insects with food. What kind of a relationship exists
sesenic [268]
A very strong relationship. I'll take the easiest example :the bees. They are so important for our planet. Without them, we and all living creatures on earth would be on track to dispariton. Let me explain why. At first, the bees need the nectar from flowers to make honey ( source of food ). As they pollen from flower to flower, they transport pollen on their tiny little legs and in this way, they help the plants to reproduce themselves. If, for some reason, there will be no more bees. Plants and flowers will not thrive, plants will be eaten without having contribued to the productivity of the species and they will go out. No plants, no more veggies or fruits for herbivorous and humans, no more herbivorous no more food for carnivorous, etc. Also, without plants, there will be less oxygen on our planet. Slowly the fauna and flora will die on earth and then it will be our turn. That is why relationships with plants and insects are so important. Plants produce oxygen for all of us and they are a natural and healthy source of food and insects help plants to survive and thus save the species.
