Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The three types of cytoskeleton vary in their size and their compositions. The smallest of the cytoskeleton is the microfilament made up of monomers actin filaments and measuring about 8nm external diameter.

The next is the intermediate filament measuring about 10nm external diameter. Microtubules are the thickest and are mostly made up of polymers of alpha and beta tubulin.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Filament system refers to the structure or long chain of protein present in the cell. The cell shape is formed by three polymer system that make up the cytoskeleton. These three types are microfilament or actin filament, intermediate filaments and microtubules.

The microfilament is the thinnest of the cytoskeleton and it is found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It provide support for the cell.

Intermediate filaments provide mechanical support for the cell plasma.

Microtubules are hollow that form the cytoskeleton, they give shape and support to the cell.

It should be microfilament ( thinnest), intermediate filaments ( thick) and microtubules ( thickest).

Biology books used to describe interphase as the “resting phase.” Based on what we know now, what was wrong with this term?
melisa1 [442]

Answer: because in the interphase the cell still goes through changes(growth, replication of its DNA), they are just not visible by microscope. Therefore, the cell isn't resting.

9. Which is the pathway of oxygen from lungs into the body tissues?
Setler [38]

Answer:

The pathway of oxygen from lungs to the body tissues is alveoli → red blood cells → blood vessels → tissues (option b).

Explanation:

The oxygen (O₂) required by the tissues comes from the air inspired by the respiratory system. The pathway of entry of O₂ to the body and tissues is:

  1. O₂ from the air reaches the lungs.
  2. In the pulmonary alveoli, gas exchange occurs, that is, O₂ passes into the blood capillaries and is captured by the red blood cells, while CO₂ is released and passes into the alveoli to be eliminated.
  3. O₂ in the red blood cells travels through the blood vessels.
  4. The tissues receive the O₂ and a second gaseous exchange occurs at the tissue level, as they release CO₂ that will be carried to the alveoli.

Tissue oxygenation depends on the integrity of the respiratory and circulatory systems.

<em>     The other options do not show the correct order in which the oxygen travels from the alveoli to the tissues.</em>

Viruses are made of _____.
stiv31 [10]
<span>A virus is made up of a core of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protective coat called a capsid which is made up of protein. Sometimes the capsid is surrounded by an additional spikey coat called the envelope. Viruses are capable of latching onto host cells and getting inside them.</span>
