8 0

Answer:

D. A waxy coating on a plant

Explanation:

A cuticle can be described as a waxy covering which preserves or protects certain parts of plants like leaves, shoots etc. Lipid molecules which are saturated with waxes make up the cuticle. Cuticle majorly functions in stopping the evaporation of water from the cell's epidermal layers.  All the species of plants possess this waxy coating of cuticle because it plays important role in  stopping the loss of water from the cells.

What two compounds are the waste products of cellular respiration? * H2O and CO2 H2O and C6H12O6 CO2 and C6H12O6 ATP and CO2
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The two compounds that correspond to waste products of cellular respiration are H₂O and CO₂.

Explanation:

The cellular metabolic waste products, specifically from cellular respiration are water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), from the oxidation of glucose into energy.

The process of <u>cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions</u> where, from a glucose molecule, energy is obtained in the form of ATP molecules.

Obtaining H₂O and CO₂ from glucose can be summarized with the schematic reaction:

                                 <em>C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂ →  6H₂O  +  6CO₂</em>

This summary indicates that a glucose molecule, when oxidized, produces as waste 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide. To reach this process all the reactions of the oxidative phosphorylation occur and 24 molecules of ATP are obtained for each molecule of glucose.

For the other options it is important to mention that:

  • <em><u>C₆H₁₂O₆</u></em><em> is the substrate from which cellular respiration takes place. </em>
  • <em><u>ATP </u></em><em>is the final product of cellular respiration, translated into energy to be used by the cell.</em>

Compare and contrast the three types of muscle tissue. skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
adoni [48]

Answer:

While skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles, called intercalated discs. Striated muscle contracts and relaxes in short, intense bursts, whereas smooth muscle sustains longer or even near-permanent contractions.

g100num [7]

The answer is Mullerian mimicry.

Mullerian mimicry is a kind of mimicry in which two or more poisonous animals generate identical presences as a shared protective tool. The theory behind this is that if a predator learns to avoid one of the poisonous species, it will also avoid the mimic species as well.

It is a natural process in which two or more often repugnant species, which may or may not be closely associated and share one or more common predators, have started to mimic each other's cautionary signals, for their communal benefit, as predators eventually learn to avoid all of them.
