Answer:
Option C: Each granddaughter cell is haploid (n)
Explanation:
A diploid cell is a cell that contains two full sets of chromosomes. Meiosis is a process whereby the the original diploid cell produces 4 cells. These cells contain half of the genetic information that the diploid cell that underwent division contained. These cells that contain half of the chromosome types are referred to as haploids. These haploids have just one complete set of chromosomes whereas the diploid (as the name suggests) has two full sets. Examples of haploids are the reproductive, or sperm, cells that humans have. So essentially, haploids are the reproductive cells that are produced by meiosis.
Now, meiosis divides the cell by 4 whereas, through mitosis however, each cell splits into two. These two cells that were produced are completely identical to each other which means that they have the same number of chromosomes and are, therefore, haploids themselves as well.
Answer:
[ANSWER]
Explanation:
When a molecule moves down its concentration gradient is it participating in passive transport; moving up the concentration gradient requires energy making it active transport.
The four important characteristics of respiratory surface are:
1. Thin walls
2. Moisture
3. Large surface area
4. Blood supply
Respiratory system or respiratory tract is divided into upper and lower tract. Upper respiratory tract includes nose and its cavities, sinuses, pharynx and the part of the larynx. Lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli.
Alveoli are the ends of the respiratory tract the smallest units in it. Alveoli are small folded air sacs that are branching off from alveolar ducts and providing an extremely large surface area for the gas exchange. Gas exchange occurs thanks to small blood vessels – capillaries that surround alveoli and it occurs via the process of diffusion.
So, respiratory surface is thin membrane also known as the blood–air barrier that consists of the alveolar epithelial cells, their basement membranes and the endothelial cells of the alveolar capillaries.
