How is the cell structure related to its function in your body

1 answer:

6 0

A cell with a large surface area or with microvilli (which increase surface area) are specialized for absorption. Many cells have different protein markers on their surface to accept certain specific hormones and allow them into the cell, like muscle cells reacting to adrenaline. Muscle cells are long and able to contract, allowing for overall muscle contraction and body movement. 

I guess the hormone part I mentioned applies to chemicals; endocrine cells produce hormones that other cells would not. 

For organelles, muscle cells don't have many of the organelles that other cells do because of their very specialized functions. 

I hope this helps, it would literally take volumes of text books to answer this question completely.

Answer:

GAIA is an amazing telescope which can precisely measure and map the location of numerous (billions) of stars with perfect accuracy.

One of the major importance of GAIA is that it can give better information about stellar history and evolution.

This mapping helps in the prediction of the colours of different stellar, the brightening as well as the dimming of various stars etc.

In the future, the astronomers hope that this GAIA mapping will lead to the three-dimensional mapping of the space along with mapping their movements.

The table shows the minimum pH that some common freshwater organisms can survive in water. Which organism would be MOST sensitiv

JulijaS [17]

The correct answer is option B- Clams

It is very clear how acid rain is affecting our ecosystem. Plants, animals and other living organisms are effected including their habitat.

When acid rain enters soil, it leaches aluminium from soil particles and mixes it with soil. Aluminium level in water intoxicates the water content which is critical for the survival of water animals.

The critical PH level for clams is 6.

The transition from an afferent arteriole to an efferent arteriole occurs in the

timofeeve [1]

Answer: A. glomerulus.

Explanation:

Each kidney has about 1 million nephrons, the urine-forming unit, and each nephron is made up of a glomerulus (capillaries walls) and renal tubules. The glomerular is constituted by the capillaries walls, which branch out and form a network, covered by the Bowman's capsule that retains the liquid, and begin to form a sequence of tubes.

The blood reaches the kidneys through the renal artery, which branches into the afferent arterioles that attach to the glomerular capillaries (where blood is filtrated), then form the efferent arteriole, which again becomes capillaries - the peritubular capillaries, which surrounds the renal tubules.
