Its just like a graph!

(X,Y)

(Latitude, Longitude)

also, say Sara lives 72, 30 East from the Prime Meridian, and Abby lives 72, 30 West of the Prime Meridian, then they are both an equal distance from the Prime Meridian.

Now if Sara lived 72, 30 North from the Equator and Abby lived -72, 30 from the Equator, then they would be an equal distance.

Understand latitude. latitude measures how a point is north or south of the equator. now understand longitude, longitude measures how far a point is easy or west of the prime meridian. understand how they appear on a map. now, i’m not the best at helping or explaining, so if this doesn’t help... then hopefully someone else answers for you.

1. Humans choose animals or plants to breed from based on usefulness or appearance.

Plants: Larger fruits, resistance to pests.

Animals: Produce more products, appearance.

Explanation:

Humans want plants to produce more fruits and be resistant to pests such as insects.

Animals are bred for more produce, like milk, and for their appearance for being a pet.

Hope this is correct. Wishing you the best.

1. In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules. 2. Ma

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

1) In eukaryotic flagella, the fibers that slide past one another due to the activity of dynein proteins are microtubules.

2) Many cell organelles, most notably the nucleus, are anchored by intermediate filaments which are assembled from a diverse class of proteins.

3) Centrosomes are sites where protein dimers assemble into microtubules.

4) The extension of pseudopodia in amoeba is due to the regulated assembly and destruction of microfilaments.

5) The only cytoskeletal fibers not associated with intracellular movement or whole cell locomotion are the intermediate filaments.

6) During muscle contractions, myosin motor proteins move across tracks of microfilaments.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is a very important element of the cell, and is composed of three different structures: microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

Microtubules are structures in the shape of hollow tubes that give shape to the cell. Microtubules also participate in cell motility by providing a route for the organelles to move through.

Intermediate filaments are the only ones that do not participate in cell motility: their main function is to provide mechanical support for the plasma membrane.

Microfilaments are a key component in cell motility, and also associate with myosin (a protein) to produce muscle contraction. Microfilaments also give the cell the ability to grow pseudopods.

Compare endocytosis and active transport

Alborosie

Endocytosis is an example of passive form of transportation which is used in the cells to move substances from one point to another. It is described as passive because the process does not require energy.
Active transport is a type of transport used for movement of particles in the cells which require energy for it to occur. The major source of energy for active transport is ATP molecules, which are hydrolyzed to release energy.
