The inner mitochondrial membrane contains numerous inward folds called cristae, which greatly increase the surface area of this

membrane. Because ATP is produced on the inner mitochondrial membrane, cristae enhance the ability of the mitochondria to generate ATP. What structure can be thought of as similar to these cristae?

Answer:the villi of the intestine

Explanation:like the cristae of the mitochondria which increase the surface area for the production of ATP,the villi of the intestine acts similarly.

In animals, digested food pass from the stomach to the intestine. In the intestine , enzymes acts on the food. Absorption of food takes place there and there are some structures that facilitates it. The walls of the intestine have numerous foldings , alongside the presence of finger like projection called villi. Microvilli are also presence from the cell walls of the intestine . These projections increase the surface area for the absorbing of food .they brush against food in the intestine and promotes absorption of nutrients.

Explain Gynecomastia in males.
PolarNik [594]

Gynecomastia is an increase in the size of the mammary gland in men. The condition can occur in one or both breasts. It starts as a small mass under the nipple, which can be sensitive. One breast can be bigger than the other. Its cause is an imbalance between the stimulatory effects of estrogen (female sex hormones) and the inhibitory effects of androgens (male sex hormones) in the breast tissue, when the first ones increase, or the second ones descend.

Gynecomastia is a problem relatively common in the population, and there are three prevalence peaks throughout life:

Newborns: Between 60 and 90% of newborns have gynecomastia, produced by the passage of maternal estrogens through the placenta. It is a transient gynecomastia that disappears in about 2-3 weeks.

Puberty: Gynecomastia in puberty affects mainly young people aged between 10 and 14 years, and is due to the transient and physiological increase in estrogen that occurs at this age.

Elderly: Is due to an increase in fatty tissue with a greater peripheral aromatization ( a process that occurs in adipose tissue and that involves the conversion of androgens into estrogens), a decrease in the production of testosterone by the testes and the use of drugs.

Lady_Fox [76]

Question

Microarrays allow for

•a comparison of expression of different genes under different growth conditions.

• the analysis of global gene expression.

•the hybridization of cDNA (converted from mRNA with DNA affixed to a solid-state support.

• all of the above.

Answer:

• all of the above.

Explanation:

Microarray involves the collection and isolation of genetic samples (DNA) from a sample or tissue.

Microarray is composed of a large number of DNA material that is arrange sequentially for easy identification and use.

Microarray is used to compare the expressions of various types of genes that are growing under different conditions. It can also be used for analysis of genes globally.

WHICH STATEMENT IS the strongest evidence in support of endosymbiotic theory of eukaryote evolution
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Please see my answer below.

If you like my response you can mark it as brainliest.

If you have any doubts (no joke) you can reach out to me in the comments.

Explanation:

<em><u>The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells and divide by binary fission. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA which is circular, not linear.</u></em>

Prevailing winds cause ocean currents to move in the same direction as the winds
Anarel [89]

Answer:

claim 1

Explanation:

this just has to do with simple energy and momentum conservation as the energy from the wind creates oceanic currents that move in the same direction of the current

Newton's first law of motion

this applies in all places in the ocean
