Answer: c) central vein.

Explanation:

The liver is an organ that is present both in humans and in vertebrate animals. It secretes the bile, essential for the digestion of fats, and it also has many other functions, including the synthesis of plasma proteins, storage of vitamins and glycogen and detoxifying function. It is responsible for removing various substances from the blood that may be harmful to the body, including alcohol, making them harmless.

The liver is divided by the sickle cell ligament into two main lobes, right and left. There are two other smaller lobes, the square lobe and the caudate lobe.

The hepatic triads are triangular areas located at the angles of the hepatic lobules, made up of a lax conjunctive stroma. They contain a branch of the hepatic artery (that irrigates the liver), a hepatic portail vein (a thick blood vessel that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver so that nutrients are metabolized) and a bile duct (transports bile into the small intestine). Therefore, it does not contain a central vein.

Sexual reproduction provides genetic variation because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organism. Sexual reproduction involves meiosis which is the process of a cell doubling its DNA, shuffling its genes and then dividing the shuffled DNA among four cells.

snow_tiger [21]

The configuration is a concept that is related to the order (poition) by which different substituents linked to the same central atom, in the case of amino acids, around the central carbon atom. So, amino acids can be divided in two groups, L- and D- forms, analogous to left-handed and right-handed configurations.

On the other hand, protein folding (folded structure of peptides) is the physical process by which a protein chain acquires its conformation (3D structure) that is usually biologically functional.
