Flow Chart What happens to food and energy when it enters the cell? Finish the description for each organelle. Step 1: Mitochond
torisob [31]

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have specialized mechanisms to transport molecules along with membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum that provide a higher surface area for absorption and enable more efficient transportation.

Their structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do). In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. Several organelles facilitate the digestion of nutrients into metabolites and energy...

  • Step 1: Mitochondria break down food and release energy; In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes. The higher concentrations of reactants and solutes, increases metabolic reaction efficiency; these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is obtained via the breakdown of nutrients from food, and is stored within the molecule ATP. 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) where several metabolites used for building other compounds are produced.
  • Step 2: Lysosomes... Some organelles separate proteins and molecules that may harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteases bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins, and carbohydrates found in food, waste, and cell components
  • Step 3: Vacuoles... Vacuoles are fluid filled organelles which store concentrated amounts of solutes, and waste products. Specialized vacuoles are also used to transport components to the cell membrane for cellular export.
  • Step 4: The endoplasmic reticulum... Most proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rest of the ER, which does not contain ribosomes is called the smooth ER,  and may contain lipids,  enzymes, and other proteins. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.
  • Step 5: Golgi bodies... Like a post office, the golgi complex, or golgi body  recognizes signal sequences and packages these compounds into lysosomes for delivery to their final destination. Lysosomes fuse with the plasma membrane to empty their contents into the extracellular space.

lora16 [44]

Domain is the highest ranking of organisms in taxonomy.

The correct option is b.

<h3>What do you mean by domain?</h3>

Domain is the highest ranking of the biological system.

In the system there are three domains

  • Archaea
  • Bacteria
  • Eukarya

This is the highest classification, after this further classification of living organism is done.

Thus, the correct option is B

A population ecologist determines the number of oak trees per square unit in a forest. What is he trying to infer by doing so?.
morpeh [17]

The answer is letter C. The distribution of oak trees in an area.

Population Ecologist would often measure the number distribution and density of the area. Trees are often measured by plots or by hectares. This is to know how many trees are situated in that area.

Which one of the following is a difference between a normal cell and a cancer cell?
mixas84 [53]
For the first question, i think the correct answer is A. Normal cells undergo apoptosis while cancer cells don't. For the second question, The answer is option B.<span> </span><span>Cell division has two checkpoints namely, G1 checkpoint and spindle assembly checkpoint. The checkpoint which determines if division has properly occurred is the G1 checkpoint. At this point, is a damage in the DNA is detected or the has not reach the optimum size, the cell is stopped in G1 and is not allowed to proceed to further process.</span>
