Answer & Explanation:

Earthquakes can strike at any location on Earth and at any point of time. However, some parts of the Earth are more prone to earthquakes than others.

Oxygen carried in a hemoglobin molecule is bound to a/an

solniwko [45]

Oxygen carried in a hemoglobin molecule is bound to an iron atom.
The red blood cells contain a pigment called hemoglobin, each molecule of which binds four oxygen molecules.
This protein carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide to the lungs.
It is the iron atom that binds oxygen as the blood travels between the lungs and the tissues.

Animal and Plant Cell Organelles Use the drop-down menus to determine where these organelles can be found. Ribosome Endoplasmic

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Animal Cell:

Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, small Vacuoles, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm.

Plant Cell:

Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Cell wall, Big Vacuole, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts.

Explanation:

 Animal Cells Vegetable Cells

Cell wall NO YES

Vacuoles YES, Small and more than ones YES, Only one and big

Chloroplast NO YES

Plasmatic membrane YES YES

Mitochondria YES YES

Lysosomes YES YES

Endoplasmic reticulum YES YES

Golgi apparatus YES YES

Cytoplasm YES YES

Ribosome YES YES

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

However, they have some differences:

Cell wall: A rigid structure that provides support and protection.

Animal cells do not have a cell wall. They are only surrounded by the cell membrane, which is flexible, so they can adopt different shapes.
Plant cells have a wall, so their shape is usually prismatic and regular. The cell wall is composed mainly of cellulose.

Chloroplast: these are organelles that accumulate chlorophyll.

Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not photosynthesize.
Plant cells have chloroplasts, and they are in charge of the photosynthesis process that allows plants to release oxygen. These organelles use solar light as the source of energy.

Vacuoles:

Animal cells have many and small vacuoles whose function is to store water, ions, and waste intracellular substances.

Plant cells have a unique big-sized vacuole that might occupy almost 90% of the cell. Their principal function is to store water and keep the turgidity. When the vacuole gets empty, the plant loses rigidity.

Other differences are:

The animal cell has centrioles, while the vegetable cell does not.

Plasmodium, chromoplasts, and glyoxysomes are present in the vegetable cell but not in the animal cell.

How are structure and function related in living things?

erica [24]

Answer:

Function and structure are related, because of a certain structure a living thing make contain makes the object function the way it does.

The relationship of a structure and function is the structuring levels from molecules to organism ensure successful functioning in all living organism and living system.
