A researcher is culturing mouse cells in the laboratory. When he treats cells with four vitamins―W, X, Y, and Z―these cells surv
ive and grow; he knows that some of these vitamins are essential nutrients. However, when he treats cells by removing one vitamin at a time, he gets the following results: vitamin W, cells live; vitamin X, cells live; vitamin Y, cells die; vitamin Z, cells die. Based on these results, which of the vitamins are likely essential nutrients?
Answer:vitamin Y and vitamin Z are the essential nutrients.
Explanation:
When the researcher treated the mouse cells in the absence of vitamin W and X, the cells survived but when he eventually removed vitamin Y and Z the cells died. This implies that for the cells to grow and survive Vitamin Y and Z which are the essential Vitamin needs to be present. Thanks alot. I hope it helps!
<u>Cell is the most basic unit of matter that can carry out all the processes of life however not all cells are alike.</u>The different structures found within the cell is called the organelles and are assigned to perform specific function in the specific cell. It is also said that organelles maintain the life of the cell. The organelles of a single cell like the organs of a multicellular organism is very essential for the survival of the body. <em>The presence of organelles in both unicellular and multi-cellular organisms are very essential in orde to maintain life and carry on with its individual functions.</em>
