A specialized structure within a cell that has its own specific function is known as a/an _______.

Biology
1 answer:
vichka [17]2 years ago
5 0

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.

Receptors for hearing are located in the _______.
Inga [223]
Cochlea.

The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.  <span>

These sound waves are then transduced when it reaches the cochlea where hair-like structures interprets the sensory information and is relayed to the brain.</span>

Which of these is a way to help keep freshwater resources renewable?
never [62]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be B. Have factories recycle water.

Recycling of water refers to the process which processed the waste water and convert it to reusable form.

It can be reused for various purposes:

  • Agriculture: irrigating different types of crops, aquaculture etc
  • Urban uses such as irrigating golf courses, public parks, private gardens, roadsides, cleaning of roads, systems involved in fire protection, washing of vehicles, toilet flushing, snow-making etc.
  • Industrial uses: processes that involve water like cooling towers, washing, dust control etc.
  • Environmental uses: It also helps in recharging the surface and ground water, marshes, wetlands, silviculture, wildlife habitat etc.
  • Potable: Recharge aquifers ultimately leads to increase in quantity of drinking water.

Hence, having factories which recycle water helps in keeping the freshwater resources renewable.

In which area of the cell does the interaction between codon and anti codon occur?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

This occurs at the 3′ end position which sits on an mRNA, while a distinct tRNA anticodon triplet sequence matches a three complementary base pair mRNA codon sequence to guide appropriate amino acid into place at a ribosome activation site to form a polypeptide or protein.
