What is interesting about a fully mature erythrocyte?

Biology
1 answer:
Otrada [13]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An interesting feature of the fully mature erythrocyte is that has no nucleus.

Explanation:

Erythrocyte, or red blood cell, is an element of the blood responsible of the transporting of oxygen and carbon dioxide, thanks to the presence of a hemoglobin molecule.

The mature red blood cell is not considered a true cell because of the absence of a nucleus, which it loses at maturity. The reason for this is to have space to contain the hemoglobin.

A red blood cell is formed from hematopoietic cells, following the erythrocyte cell line. In their immature form they are equipped with a nucleus.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The erythrocyte is not packed with organelles. </em>
  • <em>Its color is red </em>
  • <em>Red blood cells are created in the bone marrow, and destroyed in the spleen.</em>

Tickleback evolution lab final quiz 1. how did some ancestral sea-run stickleback populations come to live exclusively in fresh
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The correct answer is "some stickleback populations come to live exclusively in fresh water they became trapped in lakes that formed at the end of the last ice age".

Explanation:

There are different types of speciation. Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background so that it can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. Some barriers might impede the genetic interchange or genetic flux, making a place to two new populations that are separated and can not get together to mate anymore. Glaciation is one of the most important drivers of speciation and production of different phylogeographic structures by vicariance. Glacials originate isolated gene-pools that accumulate differences that end in reproductive isolation. Melting of the ice also generated divergence and speciation, as land appearance acted as a barrier for some populations.  

During the last glaciation, stickleback fishes were able to reach certain new places or areas that provided better conditions to inhabit. There were fewer predators and more available food sources that made these new areas to be a better choice. These new grounds were lakes and were the product of ice melting. But at a certain point, as ice melting increased, the land started to show up again and became a barrier for this species. Animals that were living in lakes could not go back to the sea, they were trapped so they had to adapt to living exclusively in lakes. This species diverged and suffered speciation.

Blank makes up cell membranes​
Mars2501 [29]

Phospholipids : This makes up the bi-layer which is the membrane's basic structure and has great control over what can enter and exit the cell, due to their hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads.

Cholesterol : This also controls entry and exit of substances as it also exhibits hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. It also stabilises the membrane and affects its fluidity (the more there is, the more fluid is the membrane.)

Glycolipids : Those can act as receptor molecules (essential for cell-signalling), antigens and in cell-adhesion

In the rock cycle, processes that change and transport igneous rock material are from weathering, erosion, and
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Changes this rock into sedimentary rocks.

Explanation:

Igneous rock is formed when molten hot magma cools down and form sediments. Igneous rock can change I sedimentary rock by deposition, weathering and erosion because sedimentary rocks are rocks formed near the Earth surface and are formed from the accumulation of sediments when the are deposited out of air, ice, gravity, flowing water.

They are formed through weathering of rocks i.e the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles which can be wash away by a process called erosion through either water, wind or air and the erosion lead to deposition or accumulation of this small particles which form sedimentary rocks.

Examples of sedimentary rocks are sandstone, siltstone e t.c.
