GMOs have a ton of pros and cons, so it's hard to say. Although, I personally would like to avoid them. With the amount of people who have gone gluten free, there's more of a reason for it than being a hipster or a yuppie. Because the demand for wheat is so high, we had to genetically modify it. Although this increased its abundance, a lot of humans' digestive systems haven't evolved with it. That is the reason why it makes so many people sick, because they cant digest it. If the rate at which GMOs are being created and nourished continues, it's likely our digestive systems will reject it, possibly causing famine due to the inability to eat our own food.<span />

The papillary muscles contract after the other ventricular muscles so that they can take up the slack on the chordae tendineae b

pogonyaev

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Papillary muscles are found in the bottom chambers of the heart and attaches to the tricuspid and bicuspid valve through tendons to facilitate blood flow during systole. It also prevent prolapse. These muscles contract before the contraction of ventricular muscles (or before the contraction of ventricles) by pulling chordae tendinae till the ventricles are relaxed. This helps in preparing the valves for high ventricular pressure

Hence, the given statement is false

What is the function of structure e? what is the function of structure e? cell-cell communication structural support of the cell

timurjin [86]

<span>The function of structure E is to stabilize the phospholipids and these phospholipids constitutes the structure of the cell membrane as in like two layers with proteins either passing through and just staying on layer surface. These phospholipids are made up of phosphorus, fatty acids and alcohols.</span>

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

large central vacuole

cell wall

Explanation:

Let me clear some things up for you. There are two types of cells - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The principle difference between these types of cells are the structure of their genome. In case of prokaryotes, the genomic matter do not have a defined structure, it just kind of floats around in the protoplasm. But in the eukaryotes, the genome is more structured, have all kinds of proteins associated with them, and is surrounded by a two layered sack called the nuclear membrane. Both plant and animal cells have these feature of structured nucleus, therefore, they are both eukaryotes.

Now for the difference between plant and animal cells. the features you mentioned are unique about plant cells, but do not rule them out from being eukaryotes, as the 'true' structure of the nucleus is still there. Cell walls are necessary for the plant cells because plants do not posses an endoskeleton like most of the animals do. The cell wall makes the whole plant rigid so they don't fall apart or appear like a blob. Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens, so it should most definitely be in a plant cell. Animals don't do photosynthesis so they don't have chloroplasts. Vacuoles are also present in animal cells, but they are much smaller, greater in number, and are known as lysosomes. Functionally they are virtually the same.
