Besides reproduction, why do cells divide in other animals?

Biology

Answer:

B) Growth

Explanation:

Choice A): This is wrong because the centromere is simply a part of a chromosome, i.e. the part of a chromosome consisting of two sister chromatids where the sister chromatids are the most tightly bound together.

Choice B): This is right because this is indeed one of the major reasons mitosis, or cell division takes place. For example, as a human grows, his or her cells must constantly divide for the human to grow; the cells themselves <em>do not</em> grow larger.

Choice C): This is wrong because this is simply a description for the number of chromosomes within a particular cell. This type of cell is a somatic, or body, cell, just any regular cell you would find in an organism.

Choice D): Well, you said besides reproduction, so I didn't choose this. Just in case, cells divide for reproduction purposes because of meiosis, where the gametes (sex cells) are produced.

Good day, and stay safe! :)

Three organelles found in cells?
Katen [24]

Answer:

1.Plasma membrane

The plasma membrane surrounds the cell to create a barrier between the cytosol and the extracellular matrix. Plasma membranes also enclose lumens of some cellular organelles.

2.Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large network of membranes responsible for the production of proteins, metabolism and transportation of lipids, and detoxification of poisons. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum with separate functions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The presence or absence of ribosomes in the ER’s plasma membrane determines whether it is classified as smooth or rough ER.

3.Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus appears as a series of flattened, membranous sacs, or cisternae, that resemble a stack of pancakes just off the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It receives vesicles containing proteins recently produced by the rER. The Golgi apparatus can be compared to a warehouse or post office for newly formed proteins. Here the proteins are further modified, packaged, and sent off to their final destinations in the cell or body.

Disturbances to an ecosystem, such as fires and floods, are often seen as negative. Describe a situation where
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A biological community in which association takes place between the organisms and their physical surroundings is termed as an ecosystem. It can also be defined as an association between the nonliving and living components found within the environment. A particular geographical region, which is specified for the species thriving within it is known as a biome.  

A branch of science, which deals with the natural procedures that comprise fire within an ecosystem and the ecological influences it imparts, the association between the biotic and the abiotic constituents of an ecosystem with the fire, and the role played by fire within an ecosystem is termed as a fire ecology.  

Different kinds of ecosystems like savanna, prairie, coniferous forests and chaparral have originated by the contribution of the fire, which plays an essential role in the renewal and vitality of the habitat. Different kind of plant species needs the assistance of fire to establish, to reproduce, or to germinate. In case, if the suppression of wildfire takes place, it will eventually result in the eradication of various plant species and the animals that rely upon them.

A hypothesis is a testable explanation true or false
Ainat [17]

True.

After forming a hypothesis, or an explanation that would be experimented on, you would be <em>testing</em> it to see if it gives the results you were looking for.

How are the diverse living organisms within a biome dependent upon each other and the nonliving parts of their environment? Give
Basile [38]
An example that shows how organisms are dependent on each other would using a food chain as an example.
• mouse eat grass and drink water ( which is nonliving)
• mouse gets eaten by fox
• then fox then eaten by coyote and the cycle continues
However is one of these organisms have low population it will be difficult for the others. For example if there is a low population of coyotes then the fox population over populate same goes for if fox are low in population then the mouses become over populated hence diseases could spread from the mouses. The organisms must keep each other in check
