The small intestine is the site of digestion and absorption of nutrients. A single layer of epithelial cells lines the small int

estine. In the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine), these epithelial cells secrete large quantities of digestive enzymes (a specialized type of protein). Which of the following features would be typical of these epithelial cells? a. They contain large numbers of lysosomes. b. They have more smooth endoplasmic reticulum than rough endoplasmic reticulum. c. They contain large quantities of rough endoplasmic reticulum. d. They have larger nuclei than cells that secrete large quantities of lipids.

Answer:

The corect answer is a They contain large number of Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

The epithelial cells lining the small intestine helps in both digestion nd absoption of nutrients.The epithelial cells do the same by secreting large amount digestive enzymes.

         The digestive enzymes are proteins that are produced by rough endoplasmic reticulum, sorted into golgi appratus and then packed into the vesicles.

     Small intestine secrete various digestive enzymes as well as bicarbonate that help in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.

During cellular respiration what is the direct source of the energu used in the cells of consumers?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Consumers use chemical energy from the chemical bonds within organic molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,  and amino acids.

Explanation:

<u>Heterotrophs are consumers</u>; they ingest or absorb organic matter (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.)  made by autotrophs or producers for their energy consumption. Autotrophs include plants, bacteria, and other photosynthesizing organisms, while heterotrophs include animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.

Heterotrophs obtain energy from food through the process of cellular respiration. For instance, during aerobic respiration in mitochondria, they break down sugars in the form of glucose into carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:      C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

                                      glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

In two or more complete sentences, compare species diversity and genetic diversity, and glve an example for each one.
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Diversity in the genetic characteristic or traits present in a species throughout populations of particular species called genetic diversity. Genetic diversity deals with the number of alleles and genes found between individuals. It is responsible for the adaptation and distribution of species.

Species Diversity is the relative abundance of species found in a given biological organization in a community and interacts with biodiversity by changing biotic factors.
