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.

How would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respirtation in plant cells
Serhud [2]
With less chlorophyll the cells would be less capable of performing photosynthesis, and because of this, the cells would produce less glucose as a product. Furthermore, if all chlorophyll was lost, the plant would die.

Many organelles contribute to the proper functioning of eukaryotic cells. Identify and describe four organelles that contribute
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The four organelles that contribute to the synthesis, transport, packaging, and export of proteins to the extracellular environment are Nucleus, RIBOSOMES, rough endoplasmic recticulum and Golgi apparathus.

Explanation:

The nucleus is the organelle that produced RIBOSOMES.

RIBOSOMES are organelles responsible for protein synthesis production of proteins.

The protein produced by the RIBOSOMES are then gathered in the rough endoplasmic recticulum . It then export and transport the protein to Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus modifies and package the protein.
