Answer:
A cell that results from the fusion of sperm and ovum is called a zygote. The process of fusion of sperm and ovum is called fertilization.
Answer:
1.Plasma membrane
The plasma membrane surrounds the cell to create a barrier between the cytosol and the extracellular matrix. Plasma membranes also enclose lumens of some cellular organelles.
2.Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large network of membranes responsible for the production of proteins, metabolism and transportation of lipids, and detoxification of poisons. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum with separate functions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The presence or absence of ribosomes in the ER’s plasma membrane determines whether it is classified as smooth or rough ER.
3.Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus appears as a series of flattened, membranous sacs, or cisternae, that resemble a stack of pancakes just off the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It receives vesicles containing proteins recently produced by the rER. The Golgi apparatus can be compared to a warehouse or post office for newly formed proteins. Here the proteins are further modified, packaged, and sent off to their final destinations in the cell or body.
C. Agar provides a solid surface for bacterial growth.
Agar is a substance obtained from red algae which when added to a culture media, provides a solid surface for the growth of bacteria. When the agar is not added then the culture media remains as the broth and when the agar is added then the broth gets solidified.
Agar is added 1.5-2% in the broth to get solidified. The growth of the bacteria depends on the amount of agar added. Agar is used for the growth of bacteria because it has gel like properties which holds the nutrients evenly and the bacteria can use it accordingly.
The cellular membrane, in the case of cells that don't have a rigid cellular wall, outlines the cell and contains the cytoplasm but it's the cytoskeleton that is more responsible for the shape of a cell, which come in a variety of shapes: squamous, cuboide, colunar, neurons, etc. In cells that do have a rigid cellular wall, such as plant cells, it's the cellular wall that gives it <span>its shape.</span>
