4 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

Sertoli cells are the large somatic cells present in the testis which helps in the formation of spermatozoa. The Sertoli cells create a suitable environment for the production and maturation of the sperms as they produce certain molecules which nourishes the sperms.

The Sertoli cells act as a barrier between the testis and blood and secrete enzymes like inhibin. They eliminate the apoptotic germ cells and also produce seminiferous fluid to nourish the sperm. They do not play any role in primary spermatocytes.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

1. Which of the following are factors that both unicellular and multicellular organisms actively balance in order to achieve hom
MrMuchimi
The correct options are as follows:
1. C
Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintains constant internal environment. Maintaining homeostasis is very important because the survival of the living organism depend on it. In order to maintain homeostasis, the amount of wastes, nutrients and water that is in an organism must be controlled and maintained at optimum level.
2. A.
An organism that can not maintain an homeostasis will die. This is because, lack of homeostasis will disrupt the biochemical reactions which sustains the life activities of the organism and once the biochemical reactions that produce life energy can no longer take place the organism will die.
3. A.
For both unicellular and multi cellular organisms, when they are exposed to water containing no salt, much of the water will move into their cells. This happened because, the level of salt in the interior of the living cells is higher and so the water will move from the medium which has no salt to the inside to the cell where there is salt. This process is known as osmosis. In osmosis water move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of low salt concentration level to the region of higher salt level concentration.
4. D.
Cells in living organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by specializing in specific functions and by working together in cooperatively. Each cell has its own functions which it performs; in the process of its duty, it communicates with other cells which also help it in order to achieve common goals, which is maintenance of homeostasis within the cell.

What are the basic cell structures that impacts diffusion?
maria [59]

I only know one for the first one, don't be mad, please.

1. I'm pretty sure one of them is membrane

2. A cell can die through infection, poisoning, overheating, or even lack of oxygen.

3. I think it depends on how fragile the membrane of the cell is.

I'm so so so sorry if these didn't help, I'm trying my best, lol.
