Undergo differentiation

some cells can undergo cell division
madam [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct options would be  

  • Become stem cells
  • Undergo differentiation  
  • Turn on all of the genes found in the nucleus

The cell is said to differentiate when they grow and mature to perform a specialized function.  

It can not re-differentiate into any other cell type. For example, muscle cell cannot differentiate into the blood cell.

In addition, the differentiated cell cannot convert back to the stem cell as stem cell is an undifferentiated cell which is capable of dividing and differentiate into another cell type.

Lastly, in a differentiated cell, only a specific set of genes are expressed. For example, in a sarcomere different set of genes would be expressed as compared to the genes expressed in a neuron.

What evidence supports the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Taking into account photosynthesis, the evidence that best supports the law of energy conservation is energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and becomes chemical energy during photosynthesis (option 2).

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic organisms, characterized by synthesizing their own nutrients by converting solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

During the process of photosynthesis, chloroplasts are capable of absorbing solar energy and converting it into glucose. This process involves the conversion of one type of energy into another.

With respect to the law of conservation of energy, it is necessary to consider:

  1. In the universe there is a constant amount of matter and energy, which is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed.
  2. Energy in an isolated system does not vary, unless it comes into contact with another system.
  3. The amount of energy that is absorbed and obtained is equivalent.

In photosynthesis, the chloroplast is not an isolated system, but has contact with the outside and is capable of absorbing the energy of the sun. This energy will be used to obtain a product, glucose, in an amount proportional to the amount of energy absorbed.

Regarding other options:

<em>     1. In photosynthesis, it is not </em><u><em>mechanical energy</em></u><em> that is transformed into chemical energy.</em>

<em>     3. </em><u><em>Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis</em></u><em>, during the process of chemical energy synthesis, from the combination of carbon dioxide, water and solar energy.</em>

<em>     4. It is true that the </em><u><em>sun gives off light energy that is absorbed by plants</em></u><em>, but it does not explain how this energy is transformed into chemical energy.</em>

Briefly explain what clues to look for to tell if a cell is in each of the following phases of mitosis:
k0ka [10]

Answer:prophase----the chromosomes shorten and thicken.the nuclear membrane has open up and the nucleolus has disappeared

Metaphase----the chromosomes migrate to the central plane of the cell and attach to the spindle fibres microtubules

Anaphase---the chromatids of each chromosomes part and move towards opposite poles of the spindle as the spindle fibres shorten

Telophase----the chromatids are in the polar end of the spindle .the spindle breaks down,the centrioles replicate,the nuclear membrane is reformed,the chromosomes gradually uncoil.

Which of the following best describes the Lianas vine?
raketka [301]

The answer is; C

It is a woody plant with a flexible stem that can grow extremely long. Its stem cannot stand vertically on its own hence uses other trees for support and climbs up the canopy for good sunlight. They are common plants in rainforests and play a significant role in the ecosystems. They provide support for weaker trees from strong winds and provide bridges for arboreal animals such as monkeys.
