Answer:

C. Cholesterol

Explanation:

Cholesterol maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane and thereby, regulates its function.

Bile acids are derived from cholesterol which serves as their precursor. For example, Taurocholic acid is a polar derivative of cholesterol. Bile acids serve in the absorption of fatty acids, glycerol, and fat-soluble vitamins as these compounds are non-polar in nature.  

Vitamin D is produced when the derivative of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol undergoes photolysis in skin cells in presence of sunlight.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

CO2 + H2O ---SUNLIGHT--------> C6H12O6 + O2

Explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, carbondioxide reacts with water molecules in the presence of sunlight forming glucose molecules and oxygen gas. The carbondioxide enters the plant body through small openings called stomata, these stomata opens when there is sunlight whereas water enters the plant body through roots from the soil and reaches to the leaves. In leaves both combine produces glucose which can be stored in different parts of the body and some oxygen is used by the plants in the process of respiration and extra is released through stomata.

Details the structure and function of a eukaryotic cell
Wittaler [7]
Answer:

Structure and function of eukaryotic cell


Eukaryotes have following promint components of cell

1. True nucleus:
The nucleus is surrounded by a true membrane called nucleoplasm. Nucleus contain hereditary materials, DNA which control inheritance. It also contain RNA synthesize in nucleolus.

2. Cell wall:
It is present only in plant cell, and contain cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, suberin etc. It provides mechanical support to plants.

3. Cell membrane:
It is present both in plants and animal cells. It is made from protein, lipids and carbohydrates. It acts as selective permeable membrane and control the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

4. Mitochondria and chloroplast:
Chloroplast is present only in plant cell. It contains chlorophyll which aid in photosynthesis and prepare glucose.
Mitochondria is present in all eukaryotic cells.cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria and ATP is formed by the break down of glucose.

5. Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus:
Endomembrane system of eukaryotic cell is made from a network of tube and sacks connected together forming endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus independently. Endoplasmic reticulum may have attached ribosomes or not and is involved in protein synthesis, while golgi apparatus help in modification, packaging, and transport of proteins through out the cell.
Lysosomes, cytoskeleton, vacoules, peroxisomes, glyoxisomes and other organelles are also present in eukaryotic cell.
