<u>Answer</u> : The structure labelled F is a central vacuole. It performs the following functions in a plant cell -

1. It accumulates the waste product generated by plant cell.

2. It maintains the shape and turgidity of a plant cell.


Since, the animal cells <em>lack a cell wall</em> the turgid pressure maintained by the central vacuole would cause the animal cell to burst. Thus, the animal cells lack a central vacuole as they do not need to maintain a high turgid pressure provided by the vacuole.


<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Most of the mature plant cells have a single large vacuole which can occupy upto 80% of the cell’s volume.
  • The vacuole is surrounded by a membrane called as tonoplast.
  • One of the main functions of the vacuole is to maintain <em>turgor</em> <em>pressure</em> in the plant cell.
  • The turgor pressure is exerted against the cell wall and is important to maintain the cell shape, for cell elongation and keep the chloroplast closer to light by exerting pressure on the cell organelles and pushing them towards the periphery.

Which organism did Gregor Mendel use to discover the basic principles of genetics?
laiz [17]

Answer:

D) Pisum sativum (pea plant).

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Using ideal ATP production numbers, how many ATPs would an individual generate if he or she consumed only pyruvate and carried o
IrinaK [193]

Answer: The ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) that will be generated if one pyruvate molecule is carried through cellular respiration is 36.

Explanation: Pyruvate is formed through glycolysis cycle which breaks down glucose. The pyruvate is used in aerobic cellular respiration via the TCA cycle yielding 2 ATPs and the electron transport system yielding 34 ATPs. That makes it up to a total of 36 ATPs.
