Identify part F and explain its function. Why does the same structure not appear in the cell on the left?

Biology

<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.

Plantlike photosynthesis that releases O2 occurs in
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, are a phylum of bacteria. They are also called as blue-green algae and obtain their energy through the process of photosynthesis. They are commonly found in fresh water and terrestrial environment such as land, in rocks even in animal cells (fur).

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic (oxygenic) bacteria. They harvest the energy of sun, absorb carbon dioxide and release O2. Cyanobacteria also contain chlorophyll such as plants and algae and convert carbon dioxide to sugar through the process of carbon fixation.

Cyanobacteria lack nucleus and other organelles like found in algae and plants. Instead of these they have double outer cell membrane and folded inner thylakoid member which are used in the process of photosynthesis.

Exposure of zebrafish nuclei to meiotic cytosol resulted in phosphorylation of NEP55 and L68 proteins by cyclin-dependent kinase
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISASSEMBLY OF THE NUCLEAR ENVELOPE

Explanation: The disassembly of the nuclear envelope is triggered by the cyclin‐dependent kinase at the onset of mitosis. At this point, Integral nuclear membrane proteins diffuse/move into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after nuclear envelope breakdown. The nuclear envelope reassembles around compact chromosome mass at late anaphase/telophase and the chromosomes condenses and become visible.

What is free nitrogen?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Nitrogen thet cannot be used by organisms. C.

Explanation:

Free nitrogen is simply molecular nitrogen (N2). Nitrogen, in its molecular form, consists of two nitrogen atoms bound together with a tripple bond. Because it is very stable, N2 is typically nonreactive, and takes a lot of energy to break them apart. Among these are the amino acids necessary for life to begin and which are the building blocks DNA is made from. Basically, any nitrogen that is in an organic compound is considered “fixed” nitrogen and N2 is considered to be “free” nitrogen

_________ cells must be in osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments, because if they swell or shrink their membra
dlinn [17]
Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").
