A certain type of specialized cell contains an unusually large amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Biology
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago

Answer:

C) The production and secretion of proteins.

Explanation:

In the human body, many cells generally possess regions with low levels of either rough or smooth endoplasmic reticulum. However, many specialized cells can possess large amounts of these regions.

If we analyze the functions of both organelles we can determine why some cells have a higher or unusual larger amount of each. For instance, the main function of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is the translation and folding of proteins. Therefore, specialized cells that synthesize or produce large amounts of enzymes (proteins), e.g. pancreatic secretory cells, have an expanded amount of ribosomes for protein translation and a higher amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum to fold the proteins.

Which statement correctly describes the significance of meiosis during gamete formation?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

During sexual reproduction, meiosis generates genetic variation in offspring because the process randomly shuffles genes across chromosomes and then randomly separates half of those chromosomes into each gamete. The two gametes then randomly fuse to form a new organism.

The sole of a gecko's foot is covered with millions and millions of small, dry "hairs" that make direct contact with surfaces, a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.
