They are all made to do a different and specialized job

Specialized cells are made to perform a specific task that no other cell does. Like skin cells. They are made for protecting the inside of our body from harmful items outside. Or blood cells, made for transporting oxygen and air to other parts of our body, and carrying carbon dioxide out.

Match each structure on the left with the corresponding function on the right. Group of answer choices Chemically digests food,

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

1. Chemically digests food, absorbs nutrients and minerals from food - Small intestine

2. Breaks down and physically digests food - Stomach

3. Metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies blood, makes bile - Liver

4. Stores and concentrates bile - Gallbladder

5. Removes waste products and excess fluid - Kidney

6. Filtering structure of kidney - Nephron

7. Produces eggs and reproductive hormones - Ovary

8. Produces sperm and reproductive hormone - Testis

Explanation:

This question is asking to correctly match certain digestive organs with their respective function. The organs and their function are as follows:

- Small intestine: Small intestine is the major organ that digests food chemically, and also absorbs nutrients and minerals from food.

- Stomach: This breaks down and physically digests food.

- Liver is responsible for metabolizing nutrients, detoxification of blood, and making of bile.

- Gall bladder is a greenish yellow organ responsible for the storage and concentration of the bile produced by the liver.

- Kidney is the major excretory organ of the body, which removes waste products and excess fluid from the body.

- Nephrons are numerous filtering structure of the kidney.

- Ovary is the female reproductive organ that produces the eggs/ova and other reproductive hormone like oestrogen.

- Testis is the male reproductive organ that produces the sperm and other reproductive hormone like testosterone etc.

What is the function of the nucleus? A. Builds proteins B. Stores the cell's glucose C. Stores the cell's DNA D. Produces energy

Nataliya [291]

<h3>Appropriate Answer:</h3>

$\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \pink{Stores \: the \: cell \: DNA(C)}}}}$

Nucleus is the control centre of the cell and manages all the cellular activities taking place inside the cell. It consists of four parts :-

Nuclear membrane,
Nucleoplasm,
Chromatin material and
Nucleolus.

The Chromatin material(Condensed - Chromosome) stores the cell's DNA which is transmitted to next generation.

Because most cigar and pipe smokers do not ______, as a group they have a lower risk of cancer than cigarette smokers.

Artyom0805 [142]

Because most cigar and pipe smokers do not inhale the smoke , as a group they have a lower risk of cancer than cigarette smokers.

The cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco are made out of dried tobacco leaves. The other substances are usually added for flavor and to make smoking more gratifying. The smoke from these products is a complex mixture of chemicals produced by flaring tobacco and its additives.

There are at least 70 known chemicals to cause cancer. These cancer-causing chemicals are referred to as carcinogens.

It is so because cigars and pipes are usually believed to be less harmful way than to smoke tobacco. It was once a trend to use cigars in the 1990s, luring/dragging the young and the old.

Most of the people think cigars are less harmful to their health, but they actually pose the same risk for oral cancer as cigarettes do. Many cigar smokers don't inhale the smoke, but still the risk for oral, throat, and esophageal cancer is alike as for cigarette smokers.

"Explain how chemical energy for use in the cell is generated by electron transport and chemiosmosis"

Reika [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The electron-carrier proteins are arranged in the inner mitochondrial wall. A dehydrogenase enzyme (think of it as the first protein of the electron-transport chain) oxidises NADH2 (which is the reduced coenzyme NAD) and/or FADH2 (reduced coenzyme FAD). The energy from the oxidation process is used to pump hydrogen ions from the matrix to the inter-membrane space of the mitochondrion. Because of this, gradient of hydrogen ion concentration builds up across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which generates a potential difference across the membrane. The protons then flow back to the matrix through an enzyme called ATP synthase (also called ATPase). (This is called chemiosmosis because a chemical substance (H+) moves across a membrane, down the concentration gradient.) This releases energy needed for the ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP, i.e. make ATP (chemical energy for use in the cell) from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Note: Bolded things are important, everything else is just additional clarification in case you need it. This is the last major phase of cellular respiration. If you want a deeper insight into the process, I suggest you read a bit about glycolysis and Krebs cycle.
