The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Merocrine gland

B. Apocrine gland

C. Salivary gland

D. Holocrine gland

Answer:

D. Holocrine gland

Explanation:

Exocrine glands are the organs or the subcellular structures which secrete a substance which is excreted out of the body.

The exocrine glands are different from the endocrine glands as their secreted products are released out of the body which is not in the case of endocrine glands.

The wax is secreted by the sebaceous glands by the production of cells that break along the base of the garland with substance into the ductal system by the exocrine glands called Holocrine glands.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Holocrine glands will release whole broken open cells into their ductal system. These cells contain the stores of substance to be released by the gland. This method of secretion requires frequent cell turnover and replacement.

Some butterflies can ingest toxic chemicals from the milkweed plants they feed on and then canstore those chemicals in their bod
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A) Any butterfly allele that allowed milkweed toxin storage would be likely to persist because butterflies that had it were more likely to survive.

Explanation:

Butterflies are natural preys to birds. Over time, some butterflies evolved adaptive strategy such as developing an allele which enables storage of toxin from milkweed as a form of defense mechanism. This stored toxins repel birds from eating the butterflies having this allele giving rise to the survival of these butterflies overtime. Butterflies that had it are likely to be highly favored for survival against predatory birds, while those butterflies without this allele are likely to be heavily preyed upon by birds.

Which substance on the plasma membrane helps identify chemical signals from outside the cell?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

carbohydrate chain

Explanation:

Cholesterol is more rigid than some of the other lipids in the membrane. Cholesterol keeps the fatty-acid tails of the phospholipids bilayer from sticking together, which contributes to the fluidity of the plasma membrane. The membrane would become rigid. Transport protein move needed substances or waste materials through the plasma membrane . Carbohydrate defines the cell characteristics and help cells identify chemical signals.
