Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be a skeleton system.

The main function of the cytoplasm of a cell is to support and hold the cell organelles at their position. In addition, it also helps in protecting the organelles from damage.

Similarly, the main function of a skeleton system of multicellular organism support and protect the internal organs of the body. In addition, it helps in locomotion.

For example, rib cage provides protection to lungs and heart, skull protects the brain from damage et cetera.

The cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid that helps hold the organelles in place. This organelle will most likely compare to the skeletal system since they both hold the cells and body.

Identify and describe layer B in the figure above.

lukranit [14]

Based on the image, it seems that the picture is of the layers of the atmosphere. Now the B layer is the thermosphere. It is found in between the mesosphere (layer below) and the ionosphere (layer above). It extends up to 600 km high and you can find satellites and the aurora here. Temperature here is higher as the height increases and it is because of this trait, its name thermosphere was based on on. "Thermo," in Greek means heat. It overlaps with the ionosphere.

What does the bacteria in our gut do to the food we eat

OLga [1]

Answer:

Gut Microbiome

Explanation:

This is home base for the bacteria in your digestive tract. Here, they help you break down food and turn nutrients into things your body can use. They stop growing when they run out of food, so you'll only have what you need.

Name the function of the organelles of the plant cells

boyakko [2]

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that have a definite nucleus with specialized structures known as organelles that perform different functions within the cell. Some organelles of the plant cells with their function include; nucleus (controls the cells activities and contains genetic materials), cell wall (support the cell and also maintains high turgidity), ribosomes (synthesizes protein), mitochondria (produces ATP (energy) out of food), Golgi Apparatus (process and package proteins), chloroplasts (produces food by photosynthesis using sunlight), vacuole (stores water or food molecules) and lysosome (contains digestive enzymes that break down food).

. In which phase of cellular respiration is glucose a substrate?

vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

During glycolysis, enzymes act on the substrate, glucose. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm; here, 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.
The Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.
