Homeostasis is a temperature that your body tries to keep. It has to work harder in freezing temperatures and hotter temperatures and if your body can't sustain the right temperature (homeostasis) it will start to shut down. It keeps the organs going as humans temperature needs to be in the range of 98.6. Otherwise if you're way too hot organs could liquefy and if too cold, freeze.  hope this helped you understand :)<span />

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

miR-223 inhibits the expression of the fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene, and thereby ESCs cells maintain their undifferentiated state .

Explanation:

Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) are molecules that regulate gene expression, thereby playing important biological functions in cell differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, etc. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of ncRNAs capable of controlling gene expression patterns by regulating mRNA stability and by suppressing their translation into proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs function by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs (Pillai et al. 2005).

From what cell organelle does the desmotubule appear to be derived?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Plasmodesmata are the cytoplasmic bridges spanning in the cell walls of the plant cell which link the cytoplasm of the adjacent cells. The plasmodesmata play an important role in the plants as they allow the inter-cellular connections between the cells.

The plasmodesmata are derived from the juxtaposed endoplasmic reticulum which forms the axial or the central portion of the plasmodesmata and allows the transport of molecules between two cells.

Thus, the endoplasmic reticulum is the correct answer.
