Define the term cell differentiation and describe its importance to an organism

Biology
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
5 0

Cellular differentiation describes how different cells perform different processes and have unique functions. There are at least 250 cells in the human body and each one plays a different role, and <em>all</em> of them are crucial to the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. For example, liver cells produce proteins that are important in blood clotting. If these cells are damaged, blood will not clot properly. If blood does not clot, a body cannot maintain homeostasis and the person will fall ill.

TL;DR: every cell plays its part and keeps the organism alive.

Which of the following INCORRECTLY describes a polymer? Which of the following INCORRECTLY describes a polymer?
Len [333]

Answer:

A. ATP is a polymer of phosphates.

Explanation:

ATP is not a polymer of phosphates. It is a rather a complex organic molecule that has its main function to provide energy.

Starch and glycogens are polysaccharides or polymers of glucose or simply put, they have glucose subunits.

Nucleotides are biological molecules consisting of 3 major sub units which are the nitrogenous base, the phosphate acid and the 5 carbon (ribose) sugar. They are the building blocks of DNA and RNA and hence monomers.

Amino acids are basically organic compounds that contain amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to every amino acid molecule. They are bond together by a peptide bond between the -NH2 and -COOH group to furthet form polypetides. Proteins in the same vein are called polypeptides which is a chain of amino acids.

Which equation best represents conservation of matter?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

A 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a system. In other words, when elemental matter undergoes a reaction, the amount of elements used must be equal the amount produced.

The equations in this question depicts the overall photosynthetic process where CO2 combines with H2O to produce C6H12O6 and O2. In order for this equation to obey the "conservation of matter", each individual element must be equal on both the reactant and the product side i.e. the equation must be balanced.

The equation that fulfills this is:

6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Hence, it correctly describes the conservation of matter.
