Biology
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
5 0

Mitocondria is nicknamed the powerhouse of the cell,  These structures are nicknamed the powerhouse of the cell because they work to convert energy into forms that the cell is able to use. Mitochondria are semi-autonomous cells, which means that they only rely partly on the cell for division and growth.

Heterozygote advantage refers to the tendency for heterozygous individuals to have better fitness than homozygous individuals. T
ddd [48]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in the sequence of DNA in the individuals of a population and a heterozygote has more genetic variation that homozygote person because heterozygote has two different alleles of a gene while homozygous individual have two same alleles.

Heterozygotes have advantage over homozygotes because it protects the individual from many genetical diseases and increase the genetic variation by increasing the gene pool in the population. So higher fitness results in more genetic variation in the population therefore the statement is false.

Calculate the frequency of b cells specific for antigen a on day 36 if the antibody concentration on day 36 is about 8 × 103. (f
matrenka [14]
-The number of B cells producing the antibody is proportional to the concentration of that antibody.

-On day 16, one out of  100000 B cells are specific for antigen A
\frac{1}{100000} = 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells

- on day 16, Antibody concentration is  2 × 10¹= 20 Antibodies
- on day 36, antibody concentration 8 × 10³.= 8000

20 antibodies ------------ 1 x 10⁻⁵ B cells
8000 antibodies--------------x

x= (8000 x 1 x 10⁻⁵)/ 20
x= 4x10⁻³ or 1 in 250 are <span>B cells specific for antigen A</span>

Eating is important to your body because molecules in food contain_________ energy that cells use to produce ATP and it also sup
oee [108]


Food molecules contain chemical energy which is released when its chemical bonds are broken.

Food undergoes  digestion in the digestive system and is broken down into its monomer units. Carbohydrates, which are the principal source of energy, are broken down into glucose. Glucose is the monomer unit of carbohydrates.

Glucose then is taken up by cells and is used in cellular respiration, which involves three main stages namely glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, through which a glucose molecule is processed to form at least 36 molecules of ATP.

ATP is the form of energy that cells use.
