The answer is <span>a) cancer.

</span><span>Cells must control mitosis (cell division) in order to maintain normal cell function. If something happens to the control of mitosis, the healthy cells will divide uncontrollably. These new cells are cancer cells and they are also out of control. They will continue to divide uncontrollably, so the mass of the cancer cells will grow.
</span>Regarding other choices:
- cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder of lungs and digestive system,
- albinism is a congenital disorder characterised by the absence of pigment in the skin and hair,
- meiosis is cell division resulting in the reduction of a chromosome number in half.

Which of the following statements about cardiac muscle is true? a. Cardiac muscle is like smooth muscle, because smooth muscle h
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

c. Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle, but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle.

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Cardiac muscle is also referred to as myocardium and it's one of the three (3) muscles found only in the heart of vertebrates, the other two (2) being smooth muscle tissue and skeletal muscle tissue.

Cardiac muscle contains bands like skeletal muscle referred to as sarcomeres (contractile units), but its contractions are involuntary like smooth muscle and it's typically being regulated by the sinoatrial node of the heart.

Which is an example of scientific evidence that can be used to critique a new scientific argument?
Margaret [11]
When we perform a study, we test a specific hypothesis to see whether our hypothesis is supported by the data or not. If our hypothesis is not supported by the data, then we can argue that a specific argument (that would be important for this hypothesis) does not have a claim in scientific research. 

This is more broadly meant though. Usually you need to perform multiple studies and test multiple hypothesis to be able to critique a scientific argument and see whether the claims it makes and the predictions it makes hold up in scientific research.

The energy generating reactions of oxidation and reduction occur in this compartment of the cell. __________
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - mitochondria.

Explanation:

The reaction the generates the energy by the oxidation and reduction reaction that takes place in the cell is cellular respiration which converts biochemical reaction from the nutrients to ATP which is the currency of the energy in living beings.

The cellular respiration has three-stage glycolysis ( takes place in the cytoplasm), Oxidative decarboxylation and TCA cycle. Oxidative decarboxylation and TCA cycle take place in the mitochondria which involves oxidation of pyruvate and reduction of NAD+ in this process.

Thus, the correct answer is - Mitochondria.
