Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) transporting ions against an electrochemical gradient

B) cell-cell recognition

C) maintaining fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer

D) attaching to the cytoskeleton

E) establishing the diffusion barrier to charged molecules

The answer is B

Explanation:

Generally, oligosaccharides are short chains of polysaccharides/carbohydrates. They make up the structure of membranes including the plasma membrane. Oligosaccharides attached to the protein content of the cell membrane to form a substance called GLYCOPROTEIN. The attached oligosaccharides functions in the ability for a cell to recognize another cell.

According to this question, if an animal whose cell is lacking oligosaccharides on the external surface of its plasma membrane, the most likely impairment would be that of CELL-CELL recognition.

Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome. It is obviously another source of genetic variation in offspring.

AnnZ [28]

The right option is; dark-field microscope

A light microscope that makes the specimen appear light on a dark background is called a dark field microscope.

Dark field microscopes are light microscopes that are used in different ways to clearly view various specimens that are unstained, transparent, and hard to see using a light field unit. Dark field microscopes are very effective because they show the details of unstained and live samples. It is also very simple to use, and inexpensive to set up.

I need help i dont know what im doing
frosja888 [35]
Hey!

Back when I was finding a school I had the same problem! That reminds me of K12!

So what you do is label the areas L that have low pressure which is areas that are near sea level, kind of cold areas.

For H you label those near the center of the map. Which is more of the HOT areas.

It’s currently cold here, burrrr!!

I’ll provide a picture below.

Awesome seeing someone that went to the same online school!

Have a great day,
Eric

Note: you don’t need to label everywhere. If recommend using the map to guide you!

Reply if you have any further questions!!!!
