Samuel ate some vegetable soup. <u>Digestion</u> process is at work to allow Samuel to break down the soup so that his body will be  able to produce energy.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are majorly four steps in food processing in human body, these are ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination. There are six major phases covered by digestion: ingestion, acceleration, mechanical or physical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption and defecation. The first of these procedures, ingestion, relates to the absorption of food via the mouth into the food canal.

Digestive system allow the transformation of massive insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food components to dissolve them into the watery plasma of the blood. Many smaller particles are ingested into the bloodstream in certain species through the small intestine.

Animal and Plant Cell Organelles Use the drop-down menus to determine where these organelles can be found. Ribosome Endoplasmic
rjkz [21]

Answer:

  • Animal Cell:

Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, small Vacuoles, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm.

  • Plant Cell:

Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Cell wall, Big Vacuole, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts.

Explanation:

                       <u>   Animal Cells                              Vegetable Cells</u>

Cell wall                          NO                                             YES

Vacuoles       YES, Small and more than ones     YES, Only one and big

Chloroplast                      NO                                        YES

Plasmatic membrane       YES                                            YES

Mitochondria                       YES                                         YES

Lysosomes                       YES                                           YES

Endoplasmic reticulum      YES                                           YES

Golgi apparatus                   YES                                           YES

Cytoplasm                            YES                                           YES

Ribosome                             YES                                           YES

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

However, they have some differences:

<u>Cell wall</u>: A rigid structure that provides support and protection.

  • Animal cells do not have a cell wall. They are only surrounded by the cell membrane, which is flexible, so they can adopt different shapes.
  • Plant cells have a wall, so their shape is usually prismatic and regular. The cell wall is composed mainly of cellulose.

<u>Chloroplast:</u> these are organelles that accumulate chlorophyll.

  • Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not photosynthesize.
  • Plant cells have chloroplasts, and they are in charge of the photosynthesis process that allows plants to release oxygen. These organelles use solar light as the source of energy.

<u>Vacuoles</u>:

  • Animal cells have many and small vacuoles whose function is to store water, ions, and waste intracellular substances.
  • Plant cells have a unique big-sized vacuole that might occupy almost 90% of the cell. Their principal function is to store water and keep the turgidity. When the vacuole gets empty, the plant loses rigidity.

Other differences are:

The animal cell has centrioles, while the vegetable cell does not.

Plasmodium, chromoplasts, and glyoxysomes are present in the vegetable cell but not in the animal cell.

Why do plants contain the<br> greatest amount of energy in the<br> food pyramid?
Llana [10]

Answer:

According to the pyramid of energy, the energy content is maximum in autotrophs or producers. Autotrophs are the plants which prepare their food by photosynthesis. They are the primary producers and primary source of food energy. The flow of energy is unidirectional from producer to consumer level.

Which of the following does NOT help increase conversion of short-term to long-term memories?
Contact [7]

Answer:

Memory consolidation

Explanation:

Short term memory is stored in the brain for relatively short period of time especially for few minutes. Long term memory is stored in brain for long period ( years or lifetime).

Short term memory can be converted into the long term memory by association, rehearsal and involved with emotional state. Memory consolidation is the process of learning new things and store them in previously stored memories. Hence, memory consolidation does not increase the conversion of short memory to long term memory.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
