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.

Describe the path an egg from the ovary to the outside of the female body
Elis [28]
The ovaries produce the egg cells, called the ova or oocytes. The oocytes are then transported to the fallopian tube where fertilization by a sperm may occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, where the uterine lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle.

Where do queen bees lay eggs and larval bees are fed by worker bees
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

1. Queen bees lay their eggs after within each cell inside a honeycomb.

2. True. Worker bees feed the larvae with a combination of nutrients, from nectar and pollen to bee milk and water.

Explanation:

1. Queen bees lay their eggs after within each cell inside a honeycomb (hive) <em>[</em><u><em>See image below]</em></u><em> </em>during the winter.

The queen is able to lay over two thousand eggs PER DAY! Each egg has an approximate size of 1 mm long. This process then leads to the formation of a whole new colony of bees.

<u><em></em></u>

2. True.

Worker bees have the largest density of all, that is, there are numerous worker bees within a colony. As their name "worker" implies, they have plenty of tasks to perform. For example, they have to clean the hive regularly, ventilate it during warm conditions or keep it warm during cold conditions, and also care for the queen. However, one the most important roles of workers is to feed the larvae, during this stage they are also called "nurse bees." These bees feed the young with a combination of nutrients, from <u>nectar and pollen to bee milk and water</u>.
