Biology

Answer:

Sulfur is part of the structure of some amino acids and proteins.

Explanation:

Sulfur enters the disulfide layers in proteins and is responsible for their spatial structure. Many proteins, in order to perform their function, need a stable spatial form (Enzymes, for example.). Because disulfide bridges form strong bonds between amino acids, this structure remains strong and stable to perform its function.  In addition, sulfur is present in the amino acids cystine, cysteine and methionine contained in proteins. Proteins are the compounds in which most of S and N are incorporated. Sulfur content in proteins is 1 g / kg and N is 15 times higher.

Consider this animal cell. Which organelles are labeled G? centrioles
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The given cell represents an animal cell, in which the organelle labelled as 'G' is mitochondrion. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles and their inner membrane is folded inward to form finger-like structures or cristae.

The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cells as they are site for biochemical reactions of respiration and energy production.

Thus, the correct answer is 'mitochondrion.'
