Answer:

10

Explanation:

Proteins are polymers of amino acids. 20 different amino acids are present in various combinations in different proteins. Humans are incapable of synthesizing some amino acids. These are called the essential amino acids as they must be provided in the diet.

Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are the nine amino acids that are not synthesized in the body of adult humans and therefore, are categorized as essential ones. Arginine is a non-essential amino acid for adult humans but is essential for adult humans. Therefore, for an infant, more than 9 amino acids are essential ones.

In a situation where the concentration of solute is low inside the cell, the cell will be referred to as a hypotonic cell. The transport in this type is referred to as active transport.

<h3>What is active transport?</h3>

The movement of dissolved molecules into or out of a cell via the cell membrane, from a low concentration region to a high concentration region is referred to as active transport.

These particles use the energy released during respiration to move against the concentration gradient.

Thus, in a situation where the concentration of solute is low inside the cell, the cell will be referred to as a hypotonic cell. The transport in this type is referred to as active transport.

Depict the role of lysosomes within a cell, using the metaphor of a factory. Explain
Llana [10]
If the cell were a factory, the lysosomes would function as the maintenance crew. The lysosome breaks down the enzymes and keeps the cell from working. The  factory can not operate without the maintenance crew. The maintenance crews make sure that the factory is well conditioned to work.
