Answer:

C) homologous; analogous

Explanation:

The relationship between of the bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals is a homology.  

Homology is the  shared ancestry between a pair of structures - in this case the forelimbs- in different taxa - in this case penguins and seals-. The forelimbs of vertebrates is a common example of homologous structures because they derived from the same ancestral tetrapod structure.

On the other hand, the relationship between the pinguins flippers and the seals flippers is an analogy.  

Structures of two different organisms with similar functionsare analogus if they are similar  in function  - in this case for swimming- due to convergent evolution but not due to common ancestry. Pinguins flippers and  seals flippers have similar function but different ancestry, therefore they are analogous structures.

What would happen to a cell if there was no endoplasmic reticulum? Please help ;-;
romanna [79]

If your cell did not produce proteins enzymes would not be available to speed up reactions throughout your body, and they would also not be available to make the many organelles made with proteins such as microtubules which would cause many other problems within the cell.

How did technology affect the development of cell theory
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Glad I can help!!

Explanation:

Technology such as lenses, magnifying glasses, and microscopes had an impact on the development of the cell theory. Below are some examples of how such technologies contributed to the cell theory. Robert Hooke is accredited with observing the first cells in 1665.

Membrane proteins can have a variety of functions. What functions can these proteins have? Check all that apply.
SpyIntel [72]

Answer;

-Channel, Recognition, reception, transport

Explanation;

Membrane proteins serve a number of functions:

• Channel proteins: allow dissolved molecules to diffuse through the membrane. Some of these proteins are structured in a way that allows only certain small molecules or ions through.

• Carrier proteins: These have binding sites that allows them to bind to certain substances and physically move the substance from one side of the membrane to the other.

• Receptor proteins: These proteins have active sites shaped to fit specific signal molecules, such as hormones. Once the protein is activated by the substance, it sets off a series of changes in the cell,such as increased metabolic rate or cell division.

• Recognition proteins: These proteins, called glycoproteins (glyco = sugar) have complex carbohydrates attached to them. These form the identification system that allows your body cells to recognize each other as self instead of foreign.

• Protein filaments: Long strands of protein on the inside surface of the membrane help support and strengthen the cell membrane, forming the cytoskeleton.
