Answer: Unlike mitotic cells, meiotic cells undergo two divisions to produce haploid cells, allowing for genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms.
Explanation:
Both meiosis and mitosis are types of cell division. However, unlike mitosis that occur at one division only and yield two daughter cells with diploid number; meiosis involves two division steps:
- Meiosis I
where the parent cell is halved in chromosome number, and genetic materials are mixed between chromatids
-Meiosis II
where the two daughter cells generated in meiosis I is further divided into four haploid cells.
Answer:
The correct answer is option d. "phosphorylation of glucose".
Explanation:
The phosphorylation of glucose is one of the most important catabolic reactions that allow to obtain energy from sugars. This reaction is the first step of glycolysis and avoid cells to lose sugars by diffusing back to its transporter. The phosphate used to phosphorylate glucose comes from the hydrolysis of one of the three phosphate of adenosine triphosphate. Therefore, phosphorylation of glucose is a processes where ATP hydrolysis is directly involved.
Applying ice to a fire victim leads to tissue hypoxia and necrosis because it will change the skin's temperature too fast and may cause frostbite. The burn could have had removed a layer of skin, leaving the fragile tissue exposed which will be more sensitive to the ice.
Most animal cells differentiate at an early stage
