What are 2 ways in which gametes differ from somatic cells?

Gametes are the cells in human body used for reproduction, such as sperms or eggs, and somatic cells are the other body cells, such as muscle cells, skin cells and all other.

First, they have different number of chromosomes. Gametes have only one set of chromosomes, while somatic cells have a complete 2 set of chromosomes. This is because fertilization requires 2 gametes joining together and this will help maintain the correct amount of chromosomes at last.

Second difference between them is that gametes are products of meiosis, while somatic cells are products from mitosis. Both are types of cell divisions but meiosis produces 4 genetically different cells while mitosis produces 2 genetically indentical daughter cells.

Answer: e

Explanation: Cytoskeleton is a microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules that provide support and movement for eukaryotic cytoplasm.

1. Prokaryotic cytoplasm lacks certain features of eukaryotic cytoplasm, such as cytoskeleton and cytoplasmic streaming.

2. The cytoskeleton provides support and shape to cell.

3. It help in transporting substances through cell.

4. It help in phagocytosis.

5. It help in cytoplasmic streaming that is movement of eukaryotic cytoplasm from one part of cell to another which help distribute nutrients and move the cell over the surface.

Please help to solve this question.​
erica [24]

Answer:

a. Glycolysis

b. actually, both plants and animals use glycolysis. They use these during cellular respiration and plant respiration

c. Heart tissue!

Explanation:

a.  Glycolysis produces 2 ATP per glucose molecule, and thus provides a direct means of producing energy in the absence of oxygen. Lactic acid, the end product of anaerobic glycolysis.

b. In organisms that perform cellular respiration, glycolysis is the first stage of this process. In plants, this metabolic process occurs in the cytosol and plastids of both photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organs.

c. Pyruvate is an important chemical compound in biochemistry. It is the output of the metabolism of glucose known as glycolysis. In highly oxidative tissue, such as the heart, the production of pyruvate is essential for acetyl-CoA synthesis and L-malate synthesis.

Hope this helps! If you could, please mark this as brainliest :)
