A Sertoli cell (a kind of sustentacular cell) is a "nurse" cell of the testicles that is part of a seminiferous tubule and helps in the process of spermatogenesis; that is, the production of sperm.

It is activated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secreted by the adenohypophysis, and has FSH receptor on its membranes. It is specifically located in the convoluted seminiferous tubules (since this is the only place in the testes where the spermatozoa are produced). Development of Sertoli cells is directed by the testis-determining factor protein.

Explain why the ultimate chemical nature of protoplasm cannot be determined.
-BARSIC- [3]
 <span>Protoplasm, or cytoplasm as others call it, is essentially all the fluid within the cell. Since a cell is a living organism, nothing is static. It is constantly creating chemicals and nutrients, and excreting waste. We only know that the protoplasm consists mainly of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and inorganic salts. This is a very large and varied mix of materials and chemicals, which again is constantly changing because of cell activities, diseases, and environmental factors. Thus, it is impossible to find the specific chemical composition and nature of protoplasm.</span>

The answer is;  D

A limiting factor is a resource in the environment that significantly affects the growth, distribution or abundance of an organism or population within an ecosystem. When this factor is controlled it can result in increased or decreased growth.
