1. Trachea itself is not considered a complete organ. It is a part of the breathing system and the only airway to the lungs.

2.Yes rigid organs.

3. Rigid organs constitute part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates.

1. If you only consider the Trachea, it is not considered a <em>complete </em>organ. It is part of the respiratory system and breathing system. Some groups consider it as an organ, however, most do not. The trachea is a part of an organ. Basically, the trachea itself is not an organ.
2. Bones are considered a rigid organ. Not only bones are organs, but they <em>protect</em> other organs.
3. A rigid organ is an organ that supports and protect other organs in the body and provide a stable structure for the body. This would be bones.

Hope I helped! (:

Match the bacterial shape with its description

slega [8]

Answer:(A) a cylindrical shaped bacteria exhibiting a variety of rod shapes.- pleomorphic.

B) A bend, or 'coma shapped' rod - Vibrio.

C) Long, curved, flexible rod - spirochete.

D) Long, curved rod - Spirillum.

E) A small, cylindrical shaped bacteria with a cocci appearance - coccobacillus.

F) Cylindrical shape - Rods.

G) Round shape - Coccus.

Explanation:

A). A pleomorphic bacteria is the one which is capable of changing it's shape, mode of nutrition and reproduction.

B). Vibrio is the genus of gram-negative bacteria. It posses a curved comma shape. This is responsible for foodborne infections.

C). Spirochete is a helical, rod shaped bacteria. It posses flexible cell wall and a mechanism that helps in motility.

D). Sprillium is a gram-negative bacteria. It has a rigid spiral structure. It has a long curved rod. It is found in the stagnant water and can also be responsible for causing water borne diseases.

E). Coccobacillus is a bacteria which has shape which is in between cocci and rod. These are very short rods which are mistakenly consider as cocci.

F). A bacillus or bacilliform bacteria is a rod shaped bacteria which can be found in different taxonomic groups of bacteria. These have cylindrical shape.

G) A coccus is the shape of the bacteria which can be consider as either spherical, ovoid or round in shape.

g During the G2 stage of interphase, ___ does not occur. A. organelle replication B. DNA growth C. protein replication D. cell g

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: DNA growth does not occur

Explanation:

Here, the cell has grown, the DNA has been replicated (this takes place in the S phase of interphase) and its almost time for the cell to divide. Basically, what occurs during the G2 phase (Gap 2 phase of interphase) includes duplication of all proteins and organelles needed later during the process of cell division. Some of these includes assembly of microtubles will later for the spindle structure that that helps in the separation of chromosomes during the M phase but these are produced during the G2 phase.

The cells also continue to increase/grow in size and the volume of the cytoplasm also increase in this phase. There is also a checking where the cell needs to check for the structures and components and to also ensure that they are all present

Which component of a virus is lacking in a cell?

m_a_m_a [10]

Capsid is the component of a virus that is lacking in its cell

A capsid is the protein shell that surrounds a virus. Capsids functions by protecting the nucleic acids of a virus while interacting with the host environment. Capsids are made up of many oligomeric structural subunits that contains the protein; protomers. Capsids are generally grouped based on their structure. The common ones are helical and icosahedral.
