Answer

Discovery

              In 1928 Kotlzuf observed a network of fibers extended through out the cytoplasm with hep of light microscope. It was confirmed by Cohen when studying it under electron microscope in 1972.

Structure

            It is a network of protein fibers that extend through out the cytoplasm. It is also called as skeleton of cytoplasm.  

Composition

            It is composed of different types of proteins, like actin, troponin, myosin etc.  

Types

         Cytoskeleton is of three types, these are

1. Micofilaments

2. Microtubules

3. Intermediate filaments.

Function

1. Cyclosis

              It is the streaming movement of cytoplasm which is controlled by cytoskeleton. It help in the transport of different organelles like ribosome and mitochondria to those area where they are needed.

2. Amoeboid movement

             Cytoskeleton help in amoeboid movement through which amoeba move towards sunlight or any other thing needed as food.

3. Maintain cell shape

            Cytoskeleton help in maintaining shape of cell.

4. Spindle fibers

          Cytoskeleton also help in the assembly and disassembly of spindle fibers during cell division.

What advantage is there in having the special sensory organs confined to the head region?
Dmitriy789 [7]
The answer to this question would be: rapid impulse transmission. 

By having organ near the head, the brain can process the information faster because the length of the nerve that carries the impulse from organ would be much shorter. The nerve also at lower risk of damage since it was shorter.
But it makes the head very important and damage to the head can cause much more problem than any part of the body.

In humans there is approximately 30% adenine (A). What is the percentage of each of the other 3 DNA bases?
kvv77 [185]

In Double Stranded DNA , Adenine pairs with Thymine as we know, it means amount of A = Amount of T. Here A=30% so T=30%

Total will be 100% (for all 4 bases) , left out is 30 % which will be equally divided by Guanine and Cytocine , hence G=20% and C=20%.

A=30% T=30% G=20% C=20%

What is cellular respiration and what are the three stages?
solong [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things, both autotrophs and heterotrophs. All of them burn glucose to form ATP. The reactions of cellular respiration can be grouped into three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (also called the citric acid cycle), and electron transport.
