Answer:

D

Explanation:

Proteins are not made of lipids chained together but rather of amino acids chained together. Lipids are made of fatty acid chains joined to various molecules - like glycerol and phosphate that make phospholipids -  Phospholipids make up the cell membrane of most cells. Fats are deposited under the dermis of the skin for insulation and this layer is thicker in animals that live in the cold regions. During starvation, these fats are taken from their reserves and broken down to provide energy for the body.

The myocardium receives its blood supply from the coronary arteries. True or False
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart, a muscle responsible for pumping blood through the circulatory system through contraction. It receives a part of the large volume of blood that passes through the atria and ventricles. A system of arteries and veins (coronary circulation) provides the myocardium with oxygen-rich blood and allows the return of venous or oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium. The right coronary artery and the left coronary artery are the branches of the aorta responsible for the blood supply.

kykrilka [37]

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A) No the DNA in circulating erythrocytes ins needed to help transport O2 through the capillaries

B) No circulating erythrocytes contain DNA.

C) Yes DNA is responsible for cell division in most cells

D) Yes circulating erythrocytes carry DNA nutrients through the capillaries

The correct option is B.

No circulating erythrocytes contain DNA.

Explanation:

Erythrocytes or red blood cells is a biconcave disc that contain haemoglobin which help to carry oxygenated blood in the body.

Circulating erythrocytes do not contain dna because they lack nuclei and organelles, cannot synthesize any RNA, therefore cannot divide and have limited repair capabilities.

Because they cannot carryout protein synthesis, no virus can evolve and invade the red blood cells.

Virty [35]

Answer:

The third sentence is not correct. The correct statement would be as follows:

because the contents of the lumen of ER (or any other compartment) in the secretory or endocytic pathways never mix with the cytosol, Proteins that enter these pathways is never imported again.

Explanation:

During mitosis, specifically during prophase, when the nuclear envelope breaks down, or in other words, retracts from the chromatin, its content that is the membrane protein intermix with the ER membrane protein. However its content will always remain separated from that of the cytosol because of the presence of an intact membrane.
