Malaria is a protozoan disease and the microbe reaches human body through mosquito bite.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Five species of plasmodium protozoan are found to cause malaria each causing disease with varying severity. Plasmodium falciparum species causes the most severe form of malaria. Malaria is spread by female Anopheles mosquitoes.  

The typical symptoms of malaria are fever, headache, vomiting etc. In severe cases it causes death. The pathogen reaches the blood of healthy individual through the bite of Anopheles mosquito carrying the infected person’s  blood.

It is thought that excess lipids in the cell are packaged into lipid droplets in the endoplasmic reticulum. Explain why lipid dr
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Lipid Droplets are cell structures that store fat in the form of neutral lipids, these droplets are hydrophobic (do not interact with water) which is why they are surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer, with the hydrophobic phospholipid tails oriented toward the neutral lipid core

This is different from most other cellular organelles, which have aqueous lumens and are therefore, surrounded by phospholipid bilayers.

The cell cycle
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:The cell cycle a. includes mitosis as an event.

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of two stages:

interface and phase M (mitosis). In the first, the cell grows and doubles its DNA; It consists of phases G1, G2 and S. In phase M, the cell divides its already duplicated DNA and the cytoplasm divides into 2 (cytokinesis), forming 2 daughter cells. There is a G ° phase, where the cell is in a "vegetative" state, called "senescence." The cell cycle is regulated cyclin / CDK complexes, tumor suppressor genes (example: p53).

Why can the enzyme maltase, which breaks down into the sugar maltose, not also be used to break down the sugar sucrose?
Fed [463]

The enzyme maltase breaks down disaccharide maltose into simple sugar glucose, which is usable by the body. This glucose can now also be stored in the liver for future use.

This maltase does nor break down sugar sucrose because it is the sucrase enzyme that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose.

How are the number of chromosomes maintained during asexual reproduction?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<em>The number of chromosomes is maintained through the process of mitosis during asexual reproduction. </em>

Mitosis can be described as a process in which a cell divides and produces two daughter cells which are exactly similar to the parent cell. The chromosome number of the daughter cells will be the same as the parent cells. No crossing over or recombination occurs during this type of cell division. Hence, mitosis is an effective way to maintain the chromosome number of organisms which reproduce asexually.
