Why does the angle at which the Sun’s rays hit the Earth change during the year, and how does this cause the seasons to differ i

kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

This is due to the tilted earth's axis. During the summer, the sun's beams hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out so a lot, subsequently expanding the measure of energy hitting any given spot. Likewise, the long daylight hours permit the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures.

Imagine you are the nucleus of a plant or animal cell and have been asked to mentor an organelle that is new to the cell. Take y

Ivan

Hi,

I am Nucleus of the cell. I am the most important part of the cell and i have genetic material that is transferred to the offspring upon reproduction. I also supervise many important processes of cell like synthesis of proteins.

I will take you on the trip of our whole cell where you will be able to meet different organelles and know a little about their roles in cell. Let us meet them one by one:

1) Nucleolus: It is a darkish and roundish structure that resides inside me. Its role is in the synthesis of an important type of RNA called ribosomal RNA.

2) Nuclear membrane: This membrane surrounds me and is contains small pores for the movement of ribosomal RNA and proteins. Due to this surrounding DNA stays inside me and donot leaves me.

3) Golgi Complex: This is like a packaging and storing organelle of cell that processes and packs the proteins and exports them outsise or inside the cell. Their secretions include digestive glands, saliva, oils etc.

4) Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: It consists of several long canals that form a series running throughout the cell and contains ribosomes attached with them. They are the organelles which transport proteins to the golgi complex for their packaging.

5) Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: It has an important role in the detoxification process converting toxic substances into less toxic forms. They are in structure similar to rough endoplasmic reticulum except that they donot have ribosomes attached to them.

6: Centrioles: They are important in the process of cell division and are present in animal cells only.

7:Mitochondria: This is called as power house of the cell because all the processes that convert food into energy take place in this part. You can see it has two membranes outer is smototh while inner forms foldings.

8: Ribosomes and Free Ribosomes- They are freely floating in the cell or attached with endoplasmic reticulum, They have role in protein synthesis.

9: Lysosomes: They have an important function because they remove worn out and old organelles by digesting them. Therefore, they contain good digestive enzymes.

Hope it helps!

Cellular respiration how cells harvest energy

velikii [3]

Answer:

Cellular Respiration: a process able to extract a large amount of energy from food molecules. In eukaryotic cells oxygen is a required component. This metabolic process is the main reason that animals have elaborate gas exchange organs such as lungs, gills and other systems. The goal of these systems is, of course, to get access to oxygen and to get rid of carbon dioxide.

Birds and mammals have a four-chambered heart, but most reptiles have a three-chambered heart. How does this fact affect the con

eduard

Answer:

The animals present body structure is due to evolution. It is seen in each part including the structure of the heart. The vertebrate heart becomes complex from a simpler form.

Invertebrates, the heart of fishes is two-chambered having one auricle and one ventricle. The deoxygenated blood gets purified in the gills. They are aquatic and no lungs for breathing. The hearts pump a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the body.

The amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambered heart as they lead terrestrial mode of life. The gills modified into the lungs. The left auricle receives pure blood and the right auricle receives deoxygenated blood. The blood purified in the lungs and in the ventricle, both types of blood get a mix. The ventricle pumps the mixed-blood throughout the body.

In the case of birds and mammal, the heart is 4 chambered and the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separated. These two are higher vertebrates. No mix of pure and impure blood, the body receives only the oxygenated blood.

This shows to construct the phylogenetic tree of vertebrates - the fishes should be in the bottom, and above it amphibians, reptiles, then, mammals and birds on the top branch of the tree. As the chambers and structure of the hearts modified one after another.
