Answer: D. They act to break down the protective barriers around the egg, allowing the sperm.

Explanation:

Acrosin and other protease enzymes functions by the catalyzing the proteolysis, that is the breakdown of proteins into small polypeptides by cleaving the peptide bonds within the proteins by the process of hydrolysis.

The acrosine and other protease enzymes are released by the acrosome cap of the spermatozoa. This process facilitates the enzymatic digestion of zona pellucida layer of the egg. This helps in the penetration of egg by the sperm.

What are stem cells? Where do stem cells come from? Why are they important?
irakobra [83]
Stem cells are cells of the body that can divide and become differentiated. stem cells specialise and take specific functions when an organism grows
mature tissues such as muscle, blood, tissue, bone, nerves, liver all have different types of cells.

they come from three to five day old embryo cells.

they represent potential in the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. some therapies actually currently use stem cells for this reason

The light-dependent reactions include an electron transport chain system that works in a very
mamaluj [8]

Explanation:

When the high energy electrons move from the reactive center, they are conveyed from one chain protein to another as the energy in the electrons is harnessed to pump H+ ions from the stroma into the lamellae. The electron will ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH and the electrons in the reactive center will be replaced by high energy electrons from the splitting of a water molecule in photolysis. The energy of the sun is used to split the water molecule. The high energy electrons then undergo the same cycle as the previous electrons and the cycle continues.

Eventually a proton-motive force is created across the lamellae membrane. This potential energy of the high H+ ion gradient is used by ATP synthase enzyme to phosphorylate ADPs to ATPs.
