The best answer is C - to break down food into nutrients.

The digestive system breaks down food into its simplest form that cell are able to utilize for energy. Food is broken down into its monomer units. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.

Glucose is then absorbed into the blood and transported to every cell in the body. The cells take in glucose and use it as fuel and raw material in the process of cellular respiration. From one molecule of glucose, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP ( the form of energy used by cells) are produced.

What is meant by aseptate coenocytes

spayn [35]

Answer:Filamentous fungi may contain multiple nuclei in a coenocytic mycelium. A coenocyte functions as a single coordinated unit composed of multiple cells linked structurally and functionally, i.e. through gap junctions. Fungal mycelia in which hyphae lack septa are known as "aseptate" or "coenocytic".

Coenocytic cells are present in diverse and unrelated groups of algae, including Xanthophyceae, red algae and green algae.

In the siphonous green algae Bryopsidales and some Dasycladales the entire thallus is a single multinucleate cell, which can be many meters across. However, in some cases, crosswalls may occur during reproduction.

Explanation:The green algal order Cladophorales is characterized by siphonocladous organization, i.e., the thalli are composed of many coenocytic cells.

In contrast to the Cladophorales where nuclei are organized in regularly spaced cytoplasmic domains, the cytoplasm of Bryopsidales exhibits streaming, enabling transportation of organelles, transcripts and nutrients across the plant.

lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.

Thus, R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG Rg rG rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –

RRGG - 1 (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2 (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2 (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4 (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1 (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2 (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1 (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2 (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1 (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1
