Answer: Peroxisome

Explanation:

A peroxisome is a membrane-bound organelle usually found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells. It is an oxidative organelle.

Eukaryotes are comprised of one or more cells that contain peroxisomes. The organelles were first discovered by the Belgian scientist Christian de Duve, who was same person that discovered lysosomes.

Peroxisomes contain a variety of enzymes, which primarily function together to get rid of toxic substances in the cell, and in particular, hydrogen peroxide which a common byproduct of cellular metabolism. These organelles contain enzymes that convert the hydrogen peroxide to water, making it remain safe in order to be released back into the cell. Some types of peroxisomes, such as those in liver cells, detoxify alcohol and several other harmful compounds by transferring hydrogen from the poisons to molecules of oxygen (known as oxidation). Other perixosomes are more important for their ability to initiate the production of phospholipids, which are typically used in the formation of membranes.

Which below is not a way in which a contrail may form?
user100 [1]
<span>The answer is  Due to heating of the air by the engine exhaust. Contrails are formed when the hot exhaust of the plane engines is rapidly cooled by the cold air in the upper atmosphere. The water vapor in the engine exhaust, formed in the combustion of fuel, freezes immediately to ice crystals due to the low pressure and -36oC  temperatures in the 8000 m altitude in which the planes cruise. </span>

Serga [27]

Answer:

On the basis of the given information, that is, the ape exhibiting small incisors and biphodant molars, shows that they generally consume fruits and seeds as the prime part of their diet. Thus, mainly the apes feed on fruits, leaves, and seeds, thus it makes them vegetarian.  

However, it has also been observed that canine teeth are found in both males and females, though they are larger in males. This shows that apes can consume meat from small birds and animals occasionally.
