Mumz [18]
Answer; (not correctly matched)
Apocrine gland; Thermoregulation;

Explanation;
Apocrine glands are found in the skin and the eyelids.
Most apocrine glands in the skin are in the armpits, the groin, and the area around the nipples of the breast.
They are scent glands, and their secretions usually have a odor. They empty into the hair follicle just before they open onto the skin surface.

Write a summary about the cell theory
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Over the next two centuries after the discoveries of Hooke and Leeuwenhoek, biologists found cells everywhere. Biologists in the early part of the 19th century suggested that all living things were made of cells, but the role of cells as the primary building block of life was not discovered until 1839 when two German scientists, Theodor Schwann, a zoologist, and Matthias Jakob Schleiden, a botanist, suggested that cells were the basic unit of structure and function of all living things. Later, in 1858, the German doctor Rudolf Virchow observed that cells divide to produce more cells. He proposed that all cells arise only from other cells. The collective observations of all three scientists form the Cell Theory, which states that:

all organisms are made up of one or more cells,

all the life functions of an organism occur within cells,

all cells come from preexisting cells.

Though no one point of the Cell Theory is more important than another, the theory clearly states that the functions necessary for life occur in the cell. Findings since the time of the original Cell Theory have enabled scientists to "modernize" the theory, including points related to biochemistry and molecular biology. The modern version of the Cell Theory includes:

all known living things are made up of one or more cells,

all living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division,

the cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms,

the activity of an organism depends on the total activity of independent cells,

energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells,

cells contain hereditary information (DNA) which is passed from cell to cell during cell division,

all cells are basically the same in chemical composition in organisms of similar species.

The Cell Theory is one of the main principles of biology. The points of the theory have been found to be true for all life. As with any scientific theory, the Cell Theory is based on observations that over many years upheld the basic conclusions of Schwann’s 1839 paper. However, one of Schwann’s original conclusions stated that cells formed in a similar way to crystals. This observation, which refers to spontaneous generation of life, was discounted when Virchow proposed that all cells arise only from other cells. The Cell Theory has withstood intense examination of cells by modern powerful microscopes and other instruments. Scientists continue to use new techniques and equipment to look into cells to discover additional explanations for how they work.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is fungi.

Explanation:

Fungi are the eukaryotic organism but they can be present in unicellular and multicellular form. They are different from plant, animals, and bacteria. They are heterotrophic organisms and do not conduct photosynthesis. Their cell wall is made up of chitin.  

Most of the fungi are saprophytes which means they take their nutrition from the dead and decaying organism. So fungi play an important role in clearing the waste organic material from the environment so they help in bioremediation. All members of fungi comes under a separate kingdom fungi.
