Why are plants crunchy when your eat them, but animal protein (meat) is not?

Biology
1 answer:
irina1246 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is - cell wall made up of cellulose that makes it crunchy.

Explanation:

In plant-based foods, the outer membrane is a cell wall that provides structure and supports the plant to stand erect and protect from the outer environment. The cell wall is mainly composed of cellulose that is a carbohydrate which is comparatively crunchy or tough to the animal protein with a fatty cell membrane that makes it chewier than the crunchy.

The composition of the protective layers of the plant cels and animal cell causes this difference in their texture.

A student does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. The stu
nexus9112 [7]

The frequency of chirps increases as the temperature increases. The correct option is B. <em>The chirps occur closer together as the temperature increases.  </em>

-------------------------------

<h2><u>Available data:</u></h2>

<h3>Data recorded by the student </h3>

<em><u>Day      Temperature   Average time between chirps (sec)</u></em>

1            21                             2. 5

2           22                            2. 6

3           23                            2. 2

4           24                            2. 3

5           25                            2. 0

6           26                             1. 8

7           27                              1. 9

8           28                             1. 8

9          29                             1. 4

10          30                             1. 2

11           31                              1. 5

<u>12          32                             1. 1</u>

In this experiment the student recorded the time in seconds <u>between </u><u>chirps</u>.

We can see that <em>as the </em><em>temperature increases</em><em>, in general, the</em><em> time</em><em> between</em><em> chirps decreases</em>.

  • At 21ºC the time between chirps is 2.5 seconds
  • At 26ºC the time between chirps is 1.8 seconds
  • At 32ºC the time between chirps is 1.1 seconds

According to this information, if the average time between chirps decreases with the temperature increase, we can assume that<em> the </em><em>frequency</em><em> of chirps </em><em>increases</em><em> as the temperature gets higher. </em>

<h3>Options,</h3>

<em>A) The higher the temperature, the fewer chirps there will be in 10 seconds</em>.

Wrong. The number of chirps in 10 seconds will depend, not only on the frequency but also on how long the chirps last. Since the student did not record the time of chirps, we can not make this conclusion.  

<em>B) The chirps occur closer together as the temperature increases</em>.

True. The chirps increase in frequency as the temperature increases, so they occur closer together.

<em>C) The chirps become farther apart as the temperature increases</em>.

Wrong. We can see how the time between chirps decreases as temperature increases, meaning that they are closer not farther.

D) There is no relationship between temperature and the time between chirps.

Wrong. If we make a graph we will see the tendency and the relationship between chirps and temperature.

Graphs usually explain the relationship between variables. In this example, the relationship would be inverse.

Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such
Goryan [66]

Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?

follicle-stimulating hormone

prolactin

thyroid-stimulating hormone

growth hormone

Answer:

growth hormone

Explanation:

Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
