Why do plant cells need a cell wall but animal cells do not

1 answer:

6 0

Cell walls are rigid which gives plants their shape. Animals have only cell membranes which allows animals to be flexible as animals are moving organisms. Plants, on the other hand, are sturdy and upright and are sessile organisms. Cell walls allow plants to grow upright as high as their maximum height and to be sturdy enough to survive harsh environments.

In the given case, acetylcholine and norepinephrine are the neurotransmitters that may be present at the greater concentrations.

Norepinephrine refers to a neurotransmitter, which is essential for emotions, attentiveness, dreaming, sleeping, and learning. It is also discharged as a hormone in the bloodstream, where it enhances the rate of heart and makes the blood vessels to contract.

Another neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine refers to the chemical, which the motor neurons of the nervous system discharge to stimulate the muscles.

Alveolar type ________ (VIII) cells are responsible for producing surfactant

lord [1]

Answer:

Type II cells

Explanation:

Type II alveolar cells are the round-shaped or cuboidal epithelial cells. These cells have a free surface with microvilli. The function of the type II alveolar cells is to secrete the alveolar fluid to keep the surface of the cells moist.

A mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins is present in the alveolar fluid that serves as surfactant and reduces the surface tension of the alveolar fluid. The overall effect of the presence of surfactant in alveolar fluid is to protect the alveoli against collapsing during exhalation.

A student analyzed a viral genome and found that the genome had the following nucleotide composition. 28% adenine 20% thymine 35

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: Option A) Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

First, the presence of thymine infers that the genome is DNA.

Then, to determine whether it is single or double stranded, we check if the sum of all nitrogenous bases is equal to 100%

A + C + G + T = 100%

28% + 35% + 20% + 17% = 100%

Since all bases makes 100%, we can conclude that the genome is a double stranded DNA
