uit flies are commonly used in genetic investigations that focus on traits passed from parents to offspring over several generat

ions. What can you infer is the reason fruit flies are the most commonly used organism for this type of investigation?

Fruit flies have 75 percent of genes that carry diseases to humans. scientists use them in genetic studies for this reason and to learn how humans genetically pass on common genetic traits to their offspring.

Alik [6]

Answer:

11. The behaviors and physical characteristics of  species that allow them to live successfully in their  environment are called adaptations.

Explanation:

Adaptations <em>are a process that organisms go through to become better suited for their environment to help them be better suited to survive.</em>

the diagram below represents two cells, x and y which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A ?
DaniilM [7]

The diagram below (attached image) represents two cells, X and Y.

Which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A?

A) It is involved in cell communication in cell X but not in cell y.

B) It represents a cell wall in cell X and the cell membrane in cell y.

C) It prevents the absorption of CO2 in cell x and O2 and cell y.

D) It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y ​

Cell membrane accomplishes several functions, among them, the removal of cell wastes. Option D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a barrier that surrounds the cell content and isolates it from the extracellular space. It is composed of two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans incrusted in between.

The cell membrane accomplishes many different functions. Among them, we can mention,

  • Isolation ⇒ It separates the intracellular content from the extracellular space.

  • Protection ⇒ It protects the interior of the cell from any damaging external factor that might affect its correct functioning.

  • Transport ⇒ It allows the selective pass of certain molecules or ions.

Substances interchange

⇒  Passive transport → Simple diffusion → through lipids

                                     → Facilitated diffusion → Assisted by channel  

                                        proteins

                                     → Does not need energy

                                    → Depends on the molecule size, the concentration                      

                                       at each side of the membrane, and the charge of      

                                       the ions.

                                      → Occurs in favor of the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Active transport → It does the energy to occur

                                → Mediated by carrier proteins

                                → Transport big-sized molecules

                                → Against the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Endocytosis/Exocytosis → Active transport mediated by vesicles.  

  • Communication ⇒ By emission and reception of substances and molecules, the cell can communicate with other cells. This process is always mediated by membranes and their transport proteins or receptor proteins.

In the exposed example X cell represents an animal cell, and Y cell is a plant cell.

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

Among the options, the correct one is D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y

Can someone help me with facts about rainforests? I have to do a project and I'm stumped.
jeka57 [31]
Rainforest cover only 2 % of the total surface area of the Earth but in spite of that about 50 % of plants and animals that live on the Earth live there.

By definition rainforests are forests that recieve high amounts of rainfall so you can actually find rainforests in Alaska for example (other examples: Canada, Asia, Africa, Latin and South-America)

About 1/4 of natural medicines are found in rainforests. 70 % or more of the plants that are used to treat cancer are found only in tropical rainforest on the planet.

Trees in tropical rainforests are so dense that it takes approximately 10 min for the rainfall to reach the ground from canopy.
