Scientists can track the movement of proteins through the endomembrane system using an approach known as a pulse-chase experimen

t. This experiment involves the "pulse" phase: cells are exposed to a high concentration of a radioactively labeled amino acid for a short period to tag proteins that are being synthesized. The "chase" phase: an unincorporated radioactively labeled amino acids are washed away and large amounts of the same, but unlabeled, amino acid are added. Only those proteins synthesized during the brief pulse phase are radioactively tagged. These tagged proteins can be tracked through the chase period to determine their location in the cell. The data below were obtained from a pulse-chase experiment in which cells were examined at different times during the chase period. The numbers represent the radioactivity (measured in counts per minute) recorded at each of the indicated sites. The higher the number, the greater the radioactivity.

Based on these data the most likely function of the cells is phagocytosis.

We can conclude this because, within the first three minutes, the radioactivity is the highest inside the ER. After that, it increases in Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and extracellular space which is exactly the pathway of the ingested amino acids via phagocytosis.

Organisms that complete the final breakdown and recycling of organic materials from
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

decomposers

Explanation:

These are heterotrophic organisms that feed on dead animals and plants, secretions, or discarded parts of living beings, that is, organic matter.

And they break it down into inorganic.

Thus, inorganic substances that can be reused in the process of photosynthesis are returned, recycled, to nature.

Internal membrane connected to the external membrane where energy production may occur and which may help cell division
Paha777 [63]
Mitochondria are unusual organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, are surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. They also divide independently of the cell in which they reside, meaning mitochondrial replication is not coupled to cell division. Some of these features are holdovers from the ancient ancestors of mitochondria, which were likely free-living prokaryotes.
