Answer: B the ends of linear chromosomes.

Explanation:

Based on structure, telomeres are located at the end of chromosomes; they are protective caps that bind the genes at the end of the chromosomes in order to prevent it from interchromosomal fusion (clumping) and degradation (broken down). Simply, they serve the same role as plastic caps to the tip of shoe laces; preventing it from unraveling.

.

Generally, telomeres becomes short in length with time. At this stage they become weaken, and breaks down. The affected the cells basic replication activites, and therefore the functions. These non-functioning cells accumulated in body organs, and made them to degenerate .This reduced longevity, leading to death of cells. However the shortening of the length is an advantage to prevent the spread of cancer in cells because I naturally stops the uncontrivable growth of cells

Therefore the longer the length of    telomeres at the genome end of chromosomes, the higher the rate of replication of the concerned cells, and hence the increase in the age of the cell

Match each organ or function with its body system. Skin excretes waste nails kidneys bladder provides exterior barrier
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

<u>Skin:</u> The skin acts as a barrier against external agents that could affect such as microorganisms, changes in temperature, etc.

<u>Excretes waste:</u> The excretion process, is done mainly by lungs (release of carbon dioxide), kidneys (elimination of excess compounds such as nitrogen) and the skin (sweat regulates temperature but also regulates the concentration of salts within the body)

<u>Nails:</u> It protects the soft tissues surrounding the distal phalanx, but it also exerts pressure over on the digits which allows more precission in the movements.

<u>Kidneys:</u> Eliminate waste from the blood and regulate body fluids, by generating urine.

<u>Bladder:</u> In charge of storing the urine produced by the kidneys, for the urination process to be controlled and not so frecuent.

Improve the student’s model of gas exchange by drawing the missing component.
larisa [96]

Answer:

The diagram can be improved by:

                                  Lungs

                                       ↓

                                   oxygen

                                       ↓

                      Red blood cells (carrying oxygen)

                                       ↓

                  Organs (like stomach and liver etc) from where carbon    

                               is taken and oxygen is supplied

                                         ↓

                   RBC's carrying Carbon dioxide to the lungs

The component which is missing in the diagram are the organs where exchange of gases occurs. The red blood cells carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to all parts of the body and carries the wast carbon dioxide gas from them back to the lungs. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled by the lungs.

Which molecule is a first messenger but not a second messenger
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Hormones act as first messenger but not as second messengers.

Explanation:

Second messenger act as signaling molecule which are secreted in response to various biological signals generated by first messenger such as hormones,neurotransmitters etc.Second messengers include various bioactive molecules such as cyclic AMP(cAMP),cyclic GMP(cGMP),inositol triphosphate(IP3),diacylglycerol(DAG),calcium ions(Ca2+) etc.

         Hormones are extracellular signaling molecules whereas second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules.
