Cellulose is indigestible by animals because they lack the enzyme Cellulase.

Cellulose is the polysaccharide which is the main constituent of plant cell wall. It consists of chains of glucose monomers. Animals like human beings lack the enzyme Cellulase which is necessary for the digestion of cellulose.  

Hay and grasses are rich in cellulose and therefore, both are indigestible by human beings. Animals like cows and horses also do not possess the enzyme cellulase, but they harbor microbes which help in the digestion of cellulose.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: Daughter cell that does not receive mitochondria, will not be able to produce the energy needed to carry out cell functions. The cell that receives all the mitochondria, will be able to carry out cellular respiration and thus produce energy.

Explanation:

The mitochondrion is a cellular organelle found in eukaryotic cells, and provides the energy needed to carry out cellular activity. They are characterized by their large size, compared to other cell organelles, and their globular shape. <u>Mitochondria generate most of the chemical energy needed to activate the biochemical reactions in the cell</u>,<u> through a process called cellular respiration</u>. It irefers to a set of biochemical reactions by which certain organic compounds are degraded by oxidation into inorganic substances. The chemical energy produced by mitochondria is stored in an energized molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Then, if during cell division, one of the daughter cells does not receive mitochondria, it will not have the necessary organelles to carry out cell respiration and will not be able to produce the energy needed to carry out cell functions. The cell that receives all the mitochondria will have no major problems, it will be able to carry out cellular respiration and thus produce energy.

marin [14]

Answer:

a. He is missing a control group of mice that did not receive the new antibiotic.

Explanation:

In any experiment especially experiments testing effectiveness of a drug, there should be a control group.

The importance of a control group is to minimize the effects of other variables other than the independent variable hence increasing reliability of the results.

in this case, a group of mice that did not receive the new antibiotic would have served as the control group.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

D.Mendel's law of independent assortment is being violated.

Explanation:

According to Mendel in his law of independent assortment, the allele of one gene gets sorted into gametes independently of the allele of another gene. He discovered this when he performed a cross involving two characters i.e. dihybrid cross, which he obtained a F2 phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is only possible if each allele of each gene is represented in each gamete i.e. a dominant allele of the first gene is equally likely possible to be contained with a dominant or recessive allele in the second gene.

If this occurs according to the Mendel's law of independent assortment, a total of four possible combinations of gametes should be produced by each parent organism. When this 4 gametes are crossed in a punnet square, a total of 16 offsprings will be possible.

However, in this case, a total of 12 offsprings were produced, depicting that the alleles did not separate independently of one another to produce four possible gametes.
