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

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.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Oxidation of NADH by electron transport chain ensures a continuous supply of NAD+ for glycolysis.  

Explanation:

To continue the process of glycolysis, cells must have a continuous supply of NAD+ which is required during one of the reactions of the payoff phase of glycolysis. Two molecules of NADH are formed per glucose molecule during glycolysis. The NADH gives its electrons to the terminal electron acceptors (O2) via electron transport chain. This ensures that the process of glycolysis is continued in cells to breakdown the glucose into pyruvate.

4. Living things are sometimes called "carbon-based life forms." Do you think this is a good way to describe life? Explain your
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, for a couple of reasons.

1. Carbon connects easily with other carbons.

2. Carbon forms chemical that can change and connect with other carbons even in biology or especially in Biology. If you take a brown seen and plant it where it can get water and soil nutrients, to will come up as a green plant. Think about the chemistry that goes into that. Not only that, but there are mechanisms that tell the upper part of the plant that the roots can't supply any more growth. Isn't that something? All made from Carbon.

3. The human body is a mass of Carbon based chemicals and all cells there can have different functions. Amazing isn't it? I'm a fan of the diversity of our planet and its growth.
