Answer:

The correct statements are: A and D.

Explanation:

a. Both the alveolar wall and capillary wall contribute to the respiratory membrane.

The respiratory membrane is a more or less homogeneous surface composed of a set of structures that gases must cross between the alveolus and the pulmonary capillary. When blood reaches the lungs it has a high CO2 content and a low O2 content. O2 passes by diffusion through the alveolar walls and capillaries into the blood. There it is transported by hemoglobin, which will take it to the cells of the body where, by the same diffusion process, it will pass inside them for later use.

d. The alveoli have a simple squamous epithelium to allow for diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the respiratory membrane.

The function of the lungs is to carry out the gas exchange with the blood, for this the alveoli are in close contact with the capillaries. The simple flat squamous epithelium lines the alveoli of the lungs, they are flattened and irregular cells in a single cell layer that allow the easy diffusion of water, gases and other substances. In the alveoli there is the passage of oxygen from the air to the blood and the passage of carbon dioxide from the blood to the air.

For the numbered steps below, select the option that places them in the correct order. 1) The ribosome binds to the mRNA and use
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

first 4, then 2, then 1, and lastly 3

Explanation:

First, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription is the process by which we get mRNA (coding RNA) which is used as a template for protein synthesis. Then, in transcription, the resulting mRNA undergoes modification and maturation. This  involves removal of introns, addition of 3'-poly-A tail and 5'-cap. Introns are sequences that do not code for protein and are hence removed. The structure that removes introns is the spliceosome. Thirdly, mature mRNA travels to the cytoplasm. Ribosome (composed of rRNA) binds to mRNA and tRNA to start the process of protein synthesis. The process of formation of protein is called translation. Lastly, the primary structure of protein may undergo folding to form a tertiary structure.

Which statement correctly describes the difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
ipn [44]

Answer:

E. Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction, and cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.

Explanation:

Anabolic or endergonic reaction is a type of reaction that uses energy.  In this type of reaction small, simple molecules join to make larger complex molecules. For example photosynthesis, during which carbon dioxide and water are react to synthesise glucose and oxygen.

Catabolic or exergonic reaction is a type of reaction that gives energy. in this reaction  large molecules are broken down into smaller ones. For example respiration, during which glucose in presence of oxygen is broken into carbon dioxide and water.

What are the three mechanisms by which transcription factors regulate eukaryotic gene expression
sergiy2304 [10]

<span>1.       </span>They act as activators of transcription. This is through increasing the affinity of the RNA polymerase on the promoter

<span>2.       </span>They could act as repressors. This way, when they bind to their active sites, they repress the binding of the RNA polymerase on the promoter

<span>3.       </span> Transcription factors at one site could affect transcription of genes on another site on the DNA. The flexibility of the DNA (by forming loops) allows for this phenomenon.

Explain how pizza being transferred from your mouth to your cells to create energy?
ra1l [238]
Pizza enters your mouth and you mechanically break down food into smaller pieces and your saliva breaks down food chemically. The food then passes through your esophagus and into the stomach where the food is further broken done by mechanical and chemical digestion. And then once the food enters your small intestine the nutrients get absorbed by the walls of the small intestine and into the blood stream, the blood then takes these nutrients to the different parts of the body and cells use this nutrients to create energy through cellular respiration.
