Euglena is green in color because of the chlorophyll that is contained in the chloroplast of that organism and the body structure that is located at its base is known as flagellum .

Explanation:

Euglena are species that are found in the fresh and salt water. They are abundantly found in inland waters where they manage themselves to bloom in large amount and color the water surface of ditches and ponds green.

This green color which them form are mainly due to the chlorophyll that is contained in the chloroplast of the organism. chlorophyll is known to be the pigment that is responsible for the green color.It is the cause for the green color in this case too.

Euglena contains a specialized body structure which is located at the base of the tail by which it manages to move.

This specialized structure is known as Flagellum.

Answer:

Euglena is green because it contains chloroplasts. The structure located at the base of the tail (the flagellum) is called the photoreceptor. The photoreceptor detects light, while the chloroplasts produces sugars through photosynthesis.

Answer:

Re-replication is allowed on geminin depleted cells

Explanation:

The depletion of the geminin gene by the siRNA leads to re-replication of portions of the genome. This is due to the protein Geminin be responsible to inhibit the replication factor cdt1 and therefore one replication round is allowed in wild type cells at the S phase. Therefore, Geminin-depleted cells will re-replicate their genome causing the enlargement of the nucleus.

Is determined by the speed of light in transparent materials
Anvisha [2.4K]
When light traveling in a vacuum enters a new transparent medium, such as air, water, or glass, the speed is reduced in proportion to the refractive index of the new material. As the slider is translated to the right, the refractive index increases and the speed of light subsequently decreases.

A neuron has three basic parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and the axons. Some neurons have a fatty layer covering called aro
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. Myelin sheath

2. Nodes of Ranvier

3. Speed up

Explanation:

A neuron is the fundamental unit of the nervous system and structured into the dendrites, the axons and the cell body.

1. The axons of the neuron are covered by a layer composed of the fatty acids and the proteins that is the constituents of the plasma membrane. This layer is known as the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath provides insulation and increases the speed of transmission.

2. Nodes of Ranvier: The myelin sheath around axons does not form continuous but have discontinuous structures due to the gaps in the sheath. These gaps are known as the Nodes of Ranvier.

3. The nodes of Ranvier increase the speed of the electrical impulse transmission through the neuron.
