Answer:

A. Fundamental Role

Explanation:

Carbon is present in all the organic compounds, specifically the macromolecules present in the cells of the living beings. The ability of carbon to make four covalent bonds with other atoms and specific orientation of bonded atoms in the space determine the three-dimensional structures of these compounds. And the structure of the compounds regulates their respective functions.  

For example, nucleic acids are the polymers of nucleotides which are joined together to make the long chains of DNA and RNA.  The stretch of nucleotide sequence of DNA serves as gene and code for specific protein. Likewise, enzymes are proteins and have pockets called active sites to interact with substrates.

ATP is produced during the process of cellular respiration. Which is the order of the steps of cellular respiration....A.Krebs c
erica [24]
<span>The answer is C.glycolysis ® Krebs cycle ® electron transport chain. There are 3 stages of cellular respiration: 1. glycolysis when glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the cytoplasm; 2. Krebs cycle when Acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate form a 6 C-atoms compound; 3. Electron transport chain when hydrogen molecules removed through previous stages are pumped to the chain and energy is produced.</span>

In the onion root tip cells, which of the following would be evidence of cytokinesis?
koban [17]

The study of onion root tips is widely known for the clear appearance of the stages of mitosis since the chromosomes are large and are clearly visible. They are easily stained with the stainer and are visible clearly under the electron microscope. The phase of mitosis are

Interphase

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase and

Cytokinesis

Each of these phases show the different stages in which the division of one cell into two daughter cells takes place. The cytokinesis is the final phase in the mitosis cell division. This is the part of cell division process during which the cytoplasm of the cell divides into two equal parts and forms into two daughter cells.

During the cytokinesis process, the spindle apparatus partitions and transports the duplicated chromatids and moves into the cytoplasm of the dividing daughter cells. In this process a dividing structure called the cell plate is formed to distinguish the daughter cells. This cell plate later grows into a double layered cell wall which then splits the parent cell into two separate cells.

Hence the option D is the right answer
