No you could not, because each organ is important to the human body.

You can live without a functional liver, but then you have to go through dialysis. And you can live even if you have an entire lung removed. The spleen can be removed if it's damaged and you'd still live. However, people without a spleen are more prone to infections.
Also, women can have their uterus removed in a hysterectomy as a treatment for cancer, or other reasons.
But of course, you'd need your heart, brain, at least one lung and one kidney to survive.

kogti [31]

Answer:

A) B cells produce plasma cells, which secrete antibodies into the blood

Explanation:

There are two types of lymphocytes present in blood. These are namely, B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. The B lymphocytes are activated with help of T lymphocytes. The activated B cells divide and produce a large number of cells that differentiate into the plasma cells. These plasma cells finally produce antibodies against specific antigens.

Early ideas on the classification of life recognized all organisms as belonging to one of two fundamental lineages−prokaryotes o

Maksim231197 [3]

I think this view is NOT compatible with either of these hypothesis illustrated above. This is because each hypothesis presents prokaryotes as two separate groups. Prokaryotes are unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane bound organelle unlike the eukaryotes which has the membrane bound nucleus and other organelles.

In the above diagram of a plant cell, what is the function of structure 3?

kramer

Explanation:

B. serves as the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic information

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wounucleuscarbohynd around histones as chromosomes. Chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand. These are then translated into proteins in ribosomes.

Further Explanation:

A cell's structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do) . For instance, photosynthesizing cells in algae and plants have structures called chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll, a specialized compound which facilitates the conversion of light energy to energy stored in carbohydrates. In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. These are advantageous, as they:

may increase metabolic reaction efficiency; they allow cells to concentrates smaller fractions of enzymes and solutes
separate proteins and molecules that me harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteaseas bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins
