Answer:

Organnelle

Ribosomes

Nucleus

Archaeabacteria

Phospholipid bilayer

Lipases

Explanation:

1. Organnelles are specialized structures in a cell designed to perform a particular function that will make the cell normal e.g. ribosome, Chloroplast, mitochondrion are examples of organnelles.

2. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is one of the two endomembranous systems in the cell. It is characterized by its rough appearance which occurs as a result of ribosomes attached to its surface. This attachment of ribosomes makes its function related to protein synthesis.

3. Nucleus is a membrane bound organnelle found only in EUKARYOTIC cells. It houses the genetic material (DNA) of a cell and acts as the brain by directing all of the cellular activity of that cell.

4. Archaeabacteria is one of the six kingdoms in the hierarchical classification of living organisms. They contain unicellular and prokaryotic organisms that are uniquely characterized by their ability to survive extreme conditions e.g high temperature.

5. The plasma membrane is an outer covering that bounds the cells of both Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. According to the fluid mosaic model that describes the structure of the cell membrane, it contains a phospholipid layer that confines its selective permeability upon it i.e. ability to control what goes in and out of the cell. This is due to the amphipathic nature of the phospholipid i.e. contains an hydrophobic and hydrophilic region.

6. Lipases are enzymes that are involved specifically in the breakdown of lipids and fat molecules into fatty acids and glycerol.

Use mathematical representations to trace the transfer of matter and energy from one organism to another.
uranmaximum [27]

Transfer = 10/100 of total energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Energy and matter is transferred from one organism to another by the process of food chain and food web. In food chain the organism of higher trophic level feeds on the organisms of lower trophic level. On feeding only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the organism of higher trophic level while the rest are being used in the metabolic processes and are produced as heat. This is called as ten percent energy transfer rule.

The mathematical representation of the transfer of energy is given as

Transfer = 10/100 of total energy.

Nasim is driving on a snow-covered road, and her car begins to slide. The quick behavioral response and the increased heart rate
Luda [366]

Answer:

1. sympathetic

2. parasympathetic

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from adrenal medulla under emergency conditions. There is a series of physiological responses such as increased heart and breathing rate, an increased flow of blood to skeletal muscles, dilation of pupils, etc. These events helped Nasim to fight the stress conditions.  

Once she was relieved, the parasympathetic system is activated that shut down the physiological responses generated by sympathetic division. It slows down the breathing and heart rate and triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients to restore the energy level of cells.
