Biology

crimeas [40]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answers are organs mouth and stomach.

Explanation:

The organs, which do both mechanical and chemical digestion are the mouth and the stomach. Both these organs are the components of the digestive tract. In the mouth, the mechanical digestion occurs through chewing, on the other hand, the chemical digestion begins in the mouth as a consequence of the enzymes lipase and amylase.  

In the stomach, the mechanical digestion takes place by churning, and the chemical digestion is performed by the enzyme protease.

Answer: Mouth.

Explanation:  

The mouth is known to be performing both the tasks of chemical digestion and mechanical digestion.

The food is ingested through mouth and the teeth perform the process of mechanical digestion by breaking down the food particles into smaller particles.

Then the saliva gets mixed into the food and the enzymes(amylase) present in the saliva helps in the digestion of carbohydrates.

So, mouth is the organ that performs the process of both mechanical and chemical digestion.

How do cells release <br> Energy in the process of cellular respiration
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration

white blood cells; formed elements involved in body protection that take part in inflammatory and immune responses are:
svetoff [14.1K]

Neutrophils They kill and then digest the bacteria and the fungi. They are the most numerous type of the white blood cell and your first line of the defense when the infection strikes.

A high level of neutrophils in the blood is called neutrophilia. This is a sign that your body is infected. Neutrophilia can indicate many underlying conditions and factors, including: Infection, possibly bacteria. They capture and destroy invading microbes through phagocytosis and intracellular degradation, release of granules, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps upon detection of pathogens. Neutrophils are also involved as inflammatory mediators. What is the most common cause of high neutrophils? infection. This is the most common cause of high neutrophil counts. Most bacterial infections cause elevated neutrophil counts, but not all. Viral infections generally do not cause neutrophilia, but it can occur early in the infection.

The viral pathogen that causes cold sores can remain inactive in the body for a long time between disease outbreaks. How is this
Serhud [2]

This disease is classified as a latent disease.

<h3>Classification of diseases</h3>

Latent disease is a classification of disease whereby the infectious agent remains inert in the body of its host between episodes of recurrent diseases.

Examples of viral pathogens that causes latent diseases include:

  • <em>Herpes simplex, </em>

  • <em>Varicella zoster, </em>

  • <em>Epstein-Barr</em>,

  • <em>Human cytomegalovirus, </em>

  • Adenovirus, and Kaposi's sarcoma.

The infection caused by the listed viral pathogens exhibit a latent disease phase whereby there is no noticeable symptoms of infection.

Consider the terms egg, sperm, and sporophyte. Which term links egg and sperm directly to sporophyte?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

La fecundación es el proceso por el cual dos gametos (masculino y femenino) se fusionan durante la reproducción sexual para crear un cigoto con un genoma derivado de ambos progenitores. Los dos fines principales de la fecundación son la combinación de genes derivados de ambos progenitores y la generación de un cigoto.

En el caso de las plantas con semillas pros, hay que diferenciar el fenómeno de la fecundación propiamente dicho (unión íntima de dos células sexuales hasta confundirse sus núcleos respectivos y, en mayor o menor grado, sus citoplasmas),1​ del proceso biológico que lo antecede: la polinización, en el que los granos de polen, desarrollados en las tecas que contiene cada antera de un estambre (hoja reproductora masculina), son transportados por el viento o los insectos a los estigmas, donde germinan emitiendo un tubo polínico que crece hacia el ovario. En este caso no se trata de gametos, sino de esporas, pues cada grano de polen contiene dos gametos o células reproductoras masculinas
