What makes sharks and rays special?

Biology
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
5 0
It's strong and flexible and means they can turn quickly when chasing prey. A ray is essentially a flattened shark. They still have the same flexible skeleton, but it has been squashed and stretched and the pectoral fins have developed into “wings”. They both have unique skin that is covered in tiny modified teeth.
Most species of shark eat things like fish, crustaceans, mollusks, plankton, krill, marine mammals and other sharks. Sharks also have a very acute sense of smell that allows them to detect blood in the water from miles away.

Hopefully this helped hun! Have a good day !

What do echinoderms have instead of brains?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Instead of a brain, echinoderms have a ring of nerves located around their mouth area that governs their nervous responses. This ring coordinates their motion, their eating, basically anything that requires nerve control.

What statement best summarizes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? (2 points)
Dominik [7]
1) Photosynthesis uses sunlight energy to produce sugar. Sugar goes from one cell to another until it reaches the cells which don’t have access to sunlight (or they don’t get enough sunlight), so they can’t make any photosyntesis or they make very little photosyntesis. That’s how the leaves of a plant feed the roots of the same plant. When that cell receives the sugar, it makes cell respiration to convert it back to water and CO2 and release energy. When an animal eats a plant, animal cells also make this respiration process with the sugar.

The chemical equation is basically the opposite:

Photosyntesis: water + CO2 -> O2 + sugar

Respiration: sugar + O2 -> CO2 + water

 

2) The DNA duplication is semiconservative, which means each new double chain contains 1 original molecule and 1 newly synthesized molecule.

When DNA is duplicated, each one of the molecules (chains) acts as a template for one of the chains that are being synthesized. Wherever there is an A in the old molecule, the new molecule will have a T. G goes with C, C goes with G and T goes with A. The way this happens is related to the number of hydrogen bonds (C and G have 3, whereas A and T have 2) and the molecular size (A and G have 2 cycles, whereas T and C have 1 cycle – so it is always a big one with a small one, total = 3 cycles). You can compare it with a chocolate mold: if you want a chocolate to be heart-shaped, you have to get a mold which has a heart-shaped hole and put the warm chocolate inside. So the mold and the chocolate have the opposite shape – complementary shape. But in this case, once the duplication process ends, mold and new DNA stay together as a brand new couple, and the mold never goes back with the other mold.

Explain how the progression of cells past sequential cell cycle checkpoints and the activity of enzymes such as separase is cont
bixtya [17]

Answer:

In multicellular organisms, which begin their life with an egg or zygote cell, mitotic cell division is important in the development and maintenance of the various tissues, organs and systems that form it. The new cells caused by mitosis are genetically identical to the stem cell; This is achieved thanks to complex regulatory mechanisms that ensure the integrity of the genomic material and its proper segregation.

Explanation:

Segurine is important because it is responsible for keeping sequestered protease separase; when it is released, thanks to the degradation of segurin, the degradation of the cohesin that holds the sister chromatids together takes place. This cohesin allows chromosomal segregation, while degradation of cyclin results in the inactivation of CDK1 (cyclin dependent kinase).

When the alignment of the chromosomes does not satisfy the SAC (spindle assembly control point), the signal from non-anchored kinetocores induces protein recruitment to the control point. This signal leads to the formation of two independent complexes. The union of the two complexes will lead to the formation of a mitotic control complex. In this way, the segurin will not be marked for degradation and the separase will not be released and the chromosomes will not secrete until the requirements of the SAC are met.
