Cell growth occurs in interphase.
The cell cycle is composed of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. It can be described in five steps.
The first three steps of the cell cycle are called the interphase. This is where the cell grows, the cell matures, and where the cell carries out its life function. The fourth step is mitosis and the fifth step is cytokinesis.
The interphase has three stages. These are Gap 1, synthesis, and Gap 2.
Gap 1 or growth 1 - where the cell grows and functions normally. Cell growth is twice its original size.
Synthesis - where cell duplicates its DNA
Gap 2 or growth 2 - where cell resumes its growth in preparation for division.
The negative impact humans could have on an ocean ecosystem is pollution, which can lead to a mass extinction on the wildlife.
D. cellular respiration and photosynthesis
They help convert nitrogen to nitrate which is usable by living beings. (Living beings can't use regular nitrogen)
Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:
The process of phagocytosis involves all of the following EXCEPT
:
a. adhesion.
b. secretion of cytotoxins.
c. elimination.
d. vesicle fusion.
e. chemotaxis.
Answer:
The correct answer is: b) secretion of cytotoxins.
Explanation:
Phagocytosis is a mechanism performed by cells in which the plasma membrane engulfs a large particle. Phagocytosis is used by cells in the immune system to ingest pathogens like viruses and bacteria.
Phagocytosis consists of many steps:
- activation
- the phagocytes that were resting are activated in the inflammatory response when a pathogen enters the body.
- chemotaxis - this refers to the process in which the phagocyte moves to the pathogen by following the chemical factors released by these germs.
- adhesion - the phagocyte attaches to the pathogen.
- ingestion
/vesicle fusion - the phagocyte sends pseudopods to engulf the pathogen, and places it in a phagosome, which is an endocytic vesicle. The phagosome and the phagocyte will fuse so the pathogen gets inside.
- elimination - the pathogen is destroyed in the phagocyte by the lysosomes present in it.
<u>The</u><u> secretion of cytotoxins</u><u> is not a part of the phagocytosis, and is a process exclusive to </u><u>T cells</u><u> (leukocytes that lack the ability to phagocyte).</u>
