Answer: They lack nucleus and other organelles important for the synthesis of the enzyme.

Explanation:

The main function of the red blood cells is to supply oxygen throughout the body. The oxygen binds to the hemoglobin and travels throughout the body to ensure the supply of oxygen to various organs and more precisely the cells of the body.

The enzymes that is being synthesized inside the body is produced by the help of the gene and nucleus along with the other organelles involved in it.The mature red blood cells lack nucleus in order to increase the surface area for carrying the oxygen.

As there is no nucleus, mitochondria and golgi apparatus in the cell, there is no enzyme synthesis and broke down in the cell.

The sympathetic chain ganglia are a series of clusters of neuron cell bodies linked by bridges of ________
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

b. axons  

Explanation:

The Peripheral Nervous System consists of nerves and ganglia. Nerves are nothing more than bundles of parallelly arranged nerve fibers surrounded by connective tissue. Each of these fibers is formed by an axon and the sheaths surrounding it. The ganglia, in turn, are accumulations of neurons, which usually form spherical structures, are located outside the central nervous system and are also linked by axons bridges.

Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, which seeds do you expect to sprout and grow?
-Dominant- [34]

Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, the seeds that are expected to sprout are the seed in the elephant poop while the seeds in the soil are not expected to sprout.

<h3>What was the Poop Lab?</h3>

The main idea of the Poop Lab is to compare the growth of seeds that have gone through the digestive system of an animal, in this case, an elephant, to a seed that has not.

The seed that had gone through the digestive system was observed to have sprouted but the seeds in the soil did not. This experiment demonstrates the role animals such as elephants play in shaping the ecosystem through seed dispersal.

The seed that passed through the digestive system of the element and then passed out into the poop received enough nutrients for growth.

However, the seed in the soil does not receive adequate nutrients.

<span>For question 1: we know the vA=10.0 cm3 and the m=89.6g. Using the equation D = m/vA give us: D = 89.6/10 = 8.96 g/cm3. Answer is (C) 8.96 g / cm3. For question 2: We know the vA=1.2 cm3 and the D=.6 g/cm3. Using the equation D = m/vA and rearranging for m gives us m = D*vA: m = .6 * 1.2 = .72 g. Answer is (D) .72 g. For question 3: We know the D = 8 g/cm3 and the m = 600g. Using equation D = m/vA and rearranging for vA gives us vA = m / D: vA = 600 / 8 = 75 cm3. Answer is (A) 75 cm3.</span>
