Answer:

The correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

Explanation:

Metallothionein is a group of cysteine-rich, small in size, and highly conserved proteins that bind to various metal ions and regulate their activity or toxicity in transcriptional level.

Metallothionein IIA is one of the metallothioneins that binds to heavy metal and helps cells to be protected from the toxicity of these heavy metals. These proteins are present in almost every eukaryotic organisms virtually. These proteins are highly induced to express highly in the present of heavy metals.

Thus, the correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

Answer:

The stigma, a female structure which collects pollen and passes it to the ovary

Explanation:

<u>The structure represented by the letter A in the diagram is the stigma.</u>

The <u>stigma of a flower represents part of the female reproductive structure</u>. The surface of a mature stigma is sticky and as such, it is able to attract pollen grains from the anther. A pollen that lands on the stigma germinates and its pollen tube grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovule where one of the sperm cells of the pollen fertilizes the egg cell of the ovule to form a diploid zygote and the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei of the ovary to form a triploid cell that eventually becomes the endosperm.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Under anaerobic condition pyruvate is converted into lactate.

Explanation:

Human muscles use both anaerobic and aerobic respiration for the production of ATP. During the starting of intense activity, the oxygen supply is not enough to provide instant energy to the muscle, therefore, muscles use anaerobic respiration to generate ATP.

During anaerobic respiration, muscle do not use oxygen to burn glucose. During anaerobic respiration in muscles, the glucose is converted into pyruvate and then this pyruvate gets convert into lactate and this process is called lactic acid fermentation. In this process, 2 ATP are produced.
