Answer:

A. differentiation

Explanation:

Cell differentiation consists of a set of processes that transform and specialize embryonic cells. After these transformations, their morphology and physiology are defined, which make them capable of performing a certain function.

We call differentiation in biology the process that all living cells go through to specialize in a particular function. These cells, despite being differentiated, continue with the same genetic code as the first cell, and the difference between them is in inhibiting or activating certain groups of genes - these responsible for defining the function of each of them. This, in addition to determining its function, entails some changes in cell structure, as happened with the cell described in the question, which promoted a change in its structure by merging with neighboring cells to form a multinuclear tube.

How Neurons Work (1 of 3): Neuron Structure and Resting Potential (BioFlix tutorial)?
fiasKO [112]

 A neuron is nerve cells that transfer information within the body, chemically over short distances, using electrical signals over long ones.

   As it turns out, most resting neurons are permeable to Na+ and CL- as well as K+. K+ will try to drag the membrane potential toward its (positive) equilibrium potential, while NA+ try to drag the membrane potential to its negative equilibrium potential.

The real membrane potential will be between NA+ and K+ of equilibrium potential<span>. However, it will be closer to the equilibrium potential of the ion type with higher permeability.</span>

Answer the best you can :))

A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division

What is one function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
agasfer [191]
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum has a wide range of functions in carbohydrates and lipid synthesis. Phospholipids and cholesterol  are necessary for the construction of cell membranes. It serves as a transitional area for vesicles that transport ER products to various destinations. In liver cells, Smooth ER helps detoxify certain compounds. In muscle contraction, and in brain cells it synthesis male and female hormones.

Why do you think an organism needs so many different enzyems?​
pentagon [3]

Enzymes are the proteins that control the speed of the chemical reactions in our body, without the enzymes in our body, those reactions do not take place within the cells.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It helps to keep the cell alive. enzymes have also helped the cells to communicate with each other for growing purposes of the cells, life and death under control. There are many potential substrates are occurred in the body such as molecules.

Minerals, and the metabolic substrates. The physical structure of the enzyme is usually to the substrate which they can fit. So the organism needs the different types of enzymes to the body.
