vichka [17]3 years ago

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.

Which is a characteristic of fast-­twitch muscle fibers?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Due to fewer capillaries, mitochondria, myoglobin, and lower oxygen transport, type II- fast twitch muscle fibers are "fast" or quick to fatigue. With their short-term contractions, they also create greater force and strength.

Which of the following insulate against the cold? carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins
irakobra [83]
<span>Lipids insulate against the cold. Fat is our natural coat produced by the over eating process. Not really sure, but it comes to mind that the layer under the skin can be the main reason for it as it prevents and keep our inner parts warm. Also the high blood flow that it demands can help by over circulating it.</span>

How do we inherit traits from our parents
Masteriza [31]

Answer: Through genes

Explanation:

When a baby is made the parents both pass on traits (genes) to the baby through DNA. The traits that the baby takes are determined by dominant and recessive traits.

Example: If both parents have brown eyes which is a dominant trait the baby will have brown eyes.

The second messenger in the following G-protein-linked-receptor pathway is signal moleculeG protein linked receptor activated G
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Answer is D - cAMP.

Explanation:

cAMP is a small molecule that functions as an intracellular signaling molecule - a second messenger. The first messenger would be the thing that activated the GPCR (e.g. a hormone). The GPCR is a signal transducer (converts extracellular signal to intracellular signal). Once activated, the GPCR activates  adenylate cyclase which can be called a signal effector - it is an enzyme that produces cAMP.

All of the following are typical physiological effects of dehydration except _______. Multiple Choice increased blood osmolality
Tatiana [17]

According to the research, all of the following are typical physiological effects of dehydration except <u>osmolality decreased</u>.

<h3>What is dehydration?</h3>

It is the process that refers to eliminating or losing the water that is part of the composition or that contains an organism.

Among the most frequent effects are thirst, osmolality increases, increased sweat rate, dry skin and fatigue.

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the research, all of the following are typical physiological effects of dehydration except osmolality decreased.
