Answer:

Angiosperm: It is a type of plants which produces flowers and seeds which are enclosed in ovary. Angiosperm is also called flowering plants. Both male part i. e. stamen and female part i. e. carpel are present on the flower of the angiosperm plants. Sperm of male combine with egg of female produce seed.

Evolutionary advantages of Angiosperm :

1) The Angiosperm produces fruits which protects seed.

2) Seed coat provides protection from the external environment.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Cancer is basically a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Its development and progression are usually linked to a series of changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. For example, inhibitors of the cell cycle keep cells from dividing when conditions aren’t right, so too little activity of these inhibitors can promote cancer. Similarly, positive regulators of cell division can lead to cancer if they are too active. In most cases, these changes in activity are due to mutations in the genes that encode cell cycle regulator proteins.

Describe the ATP molecule and its function within a cell.

geniusboy [140]

ATP stores and transports energy in the cells, usually in the mitochondria. Energy is released by hydrolysis (carbohydrates being broken down into sugar molecules), which eventually results in forming ADP (adenosine diphosphate) that absorbs the energy and recharges the phosphate group and ATP

Dovator [93]

The plasma membrane or the cell membrane is the one that protects the cytoplasm of a cell. It is mostly composed of lipids and proteins. It has a phospholipid bilayer that controls the entering and exiting of molecules in the cell and at the same time, provides protection for the cell or plasma membrane. It has polar head and a nonpolar tail. Proteins embedded within the phospholipid bilayer have the same function of the plasma membrane that includes selective transport. The phospholipid bilayer consists mainly of the lipid molecules.

Put these statements in correct order to understand how hearing works. - Ions enter hair cells - Stapes moves - auditory cortex

OLEGan [10]

Answer: From the question,the correct order of how hearing works is listed below:

--> sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano,

--> Incus moves,

--> Stapes moves,

--> Sound wave enters inner ear,

--> Fluid in the cochlea moves,

--> Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency,

--> Ions enter hair cells,

--> hair cells bend,

--> auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex,

--> auditory cortex recognizes the sounds.

Explanation:

In mammal, two ears are present on each side of the head. It is know as the organ for hearing and balance. The ear is divided into three regions:

--> OUTER EAR: This consists of pinna, ear canal, and eardrum( tympanic membrane)

--> MIDDLE EAR: This consists of the ear ossicles ( malleus, incus and stapes).

--> INNER EAR: This consists of Cochlea (organ of hearing) and semicircular canals (for balance).

To explain further on how we hear sounds, the vibrations of sounds produced from an external source move from the outer ear to the middle and then to the inner ear where the cochlea, the organ for hearing is located.

As sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano, the pinna collects the sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. Sound waves impinge on the tympanic membrane and makes it vibrate. This causes the malleus, incus and stapes (in this order) to move to-and -fro at the middle ear region.

In the inner ear region, sound wave enters inner ear as stapes pushes the oval window in-and-out. The vibrating oval window causes the fluid in the cochlea( perilymph) to move to-and -fro. Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency. The pressure waves in the perilymph push the membrane separating the upper canal and the cochlear duct to-and-fro allowing ions to enter the hair cells. As a result, the hairs of the sensory cells between these two membranes bend causing nerve impulses to be sent to the brain through the cochlear part of the auditory nerve. Auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex which recognizes the sounds.
