the answer could not be D because a Golgi Apparatus is a tiny structure, or organelle, in a cell that "packages" nutrients for use inside the cell. The answer could not be c. because a nucleus is a tiny structure, or organelle, in a cell that "packages" nutrients for use inside the cell. The answer could not be Endoplasmic Reticulum because that is where proteins are transported from one part to the other. So the only answer left is Mitochondria, because the Mitochondriamain function is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Answer: The correct answers are 1) Endocytosis and 2) Receptors are specific for the cells.
White blood cells are specialized cells of the immune system. They play important role in protecting body from foreign agents like bacteria . For this, they recognize the bacteria and forms a covering around it, pinching off the vacuole. By this, the cell performs a process called as Endocytosis ( specifically phogocytosis).
The receptors present on the white blood cells are quite specific. Due to this, they recognize specific foreign particles. For example B- cells produce antibodies which bind to specific antigens ( foreign protein) and therefore mount specific immune response. In other words, specific foreign particles are recognized by specific white blood cell. This indicates that the receptors on these cells are specific.
Thus, the correct answer is 1) Endocytosis and 2) Receptors are specific for the cells.
Answer:
Explanation:
Enzymes are biological catalysts; catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up (BBC, 2010), without these catalysts it would take an extremely long time for these reactions to take place. The enzyme used in this particular experiment was pepsin; pepsin is a zymogen of pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is activated by hydrochloric acid, which is released from parietal cells in the stomach lining. The hormone gastrin and the vagus nerve trigger the release of both pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid from the stomach lining when food is ingested. Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment, which allows pepsinogen to unfold and cleave itself in an autocatalytic fashion, generating pepsin. (Life Science Network, 2010)
A lot can be learnt about enzymes by studying the rate of enzyme catalyzed reactions, these rates of reaction can be studied in various ways. In this experiment, using a range of different temperatures, the enzyme pepsin will be mixed with egg albumen. This is high in protein and bound to the dye Coomassie blue to gain a light absorbance reading using a spectrophotometer and in effect see how much protein has been digested by the pepsin.

Answer:
Animals perform cellular respiration.
Explanation:
As plants release Oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, animals use this oxygen (as well as other inputs) to perform cellular respiration which releases Carbon Dioxide. Cellular respiration helps animals get the energy from sugar converted into more simple molecules such as ATP (Adenine Triphosphate).
