Answer:

A. Dihydrofolate reductase—methotrexate

Explanation:

Dihydrofolate reductase is an enzyme that reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid. Methotrexateis its inhibitor. It interferes with folate metabolism by acting as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme.

Since folateis necassary for rapid dividing cells, such as cancer cells, methotrexate can be used as anticancer drug that inhibits DHFR.

What are the two main functions of mitosis?
Nikolay [14]

Mitosis helps in the growth by means of hyperplasia. It also helps in reproduction in single celled organisms.

Neuron and Red Blood Cells doesn't undergo cell division once formed.

Osteoblasts help in forming new bones and joining old ones after there's a fracture in bone.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. It helps in growth of multicellular organisms as well as reproduction in single celled organisms.

The Red blood cells are formed from the bone marrow megakaryocytes and never undergo mitosis. Same are the neurons which are formed from stem cells and never undergo cell division.

The osteoblasts come into action as the bone breaks. They diposit new calcium compounds between the broken part of bones. This leads to irregular growth of bones between them which is then remoulded and brought back to shape by osteoclasts and osteocytes.

Why are endocytosis and exocytosis kinds of active transport?​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Explanation: During endocytosis (endo means inside) a cell will use its cell membrane to engulf an object which is outside of the cell. This process takes effort by the cell, so it needs to use energy (ATP!) The process which is the reverse of endocytosis is exocytosis (exo means outside - think exit).

Answer:

In biology, the relationship in which one organism lives inside another is described by the term endosymbiosis.

Explanation:

Endosymbiosis refers to a form of association that organisms have, in which one individual lives and performs his functions within another's body -using his resources to survive-  being  called the first symbiont, and the second host.

An example of endosymbiosis is found in bacteria that are part of the intestine of some living organisms, contributing to the process of food degradation.

Additionally, endosymbiosis is relevant in explaining the origin of eukaryotic cells from symbiosis between prokaryotic cells, which is known as endosymbiotic theory.
