Answer:

Yes, mitosis stops in the cell.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division. It is how non-reproductive or somatic cells divide. These somatic cells make up most of our body's organs and tissue, including muscles, gut, lungs, skin etc. In this type of cell division each daughter cells have the same chromosomes and DNA as that of parent cell.

Cells regulate their division by communicating with each other using chemical signals, which is important to for us to grow and so our cuts heal. Cell division must stop at the right time because if it continues it can lead to a disease called cancer. Some cells like brain cells and nerve cells divide often but cells like skin cells are constantly dividing to replace the skin cells we loose.

Yes, mitosis does indeed stop. There is a limited amount of times that cells can divide. For example, muscle and nerve cells. In fact, nerve cells stop at about the time we are born.

Which environment is most likely to be characterized by dry scrub with frequent fires?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Environments likely to be characterized by the presence of dry scrubs and frequent wildfires are those that lack the presence of rain and suffer high sunlight hours.

When referring to the terrestrial biomes that meet the characteristics described, we can include:

Temperate grasslands
Cold deserts

The temperate grassland/cold desert biomes have:

cold and dry winters
hot, dry summers
Extended sunlight hours

This biome is very dry, and the harsh weather makes it difficult for plants to grow, leading to their dry scrub characteristic. This biome also experiences frequent wildfires due to the intense sunlight and lack of rain to which it is exposed.

What statement holds true for the amount of matter in a successful food web? A) Amount of matter contained in the producers and

ankoles [38]

Answer: B. Amount of matter produced by the producers should be more than that of the consumers.

Food web defines a interconnection between different food chains and transfer of energy at each trophic level. According to the ten percent law 10% energy is lost from each trophic level. At the first trophic level there are producers. Producers occupy the only one level in the trophic levels the rest is occupied by consumers this shows the category of consumer is more than producer. Therefore, for successful food web food availability should be more at initial trophic level hence amount of matter produced by the producers should be more than that of the consumer.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

POLYMER

Explanation:

Small molecules called monomers combine together in a process called polymerization to form a larger molecule called POLYMER. A polymer is a large molecule consisting of long chains of small molecules (monomers) chemically bonded together.

The process of polymerization often involves the loss of water molecule. These polymers (macromolecules) are important for the optimal functioning of living systems, or the production of important substances.
