nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Secretes enzymes and other liquids that aid in the digestion and processing of food

Explanation:

The liver is a large organ in the body, if not the largest. It possess a red-purple color and constitutes a part of the digestive system. The liver carry out many functions in the human body; inclusive of digestive function. Although it is not a main digestive organ.

During digestion, the liver is responsible for processing of absorbed nutrients by releasing certain hormones and chemicals like bile, which aids in digestion of fat. This is the reason the liver is considered a "gland"

Match the reproductive structures based on their function and the system to which they belong.

klemol [59]

I attached the right answers, maybe some words were difficult to understand:
Vagina in the sex of the female
The urethra is a duct which is shared between the urinary system and the testis. It is located into the penis (it passes both sperms and urine)
Testis means the testicles, where spermatozoids are produced.
Fallopian tube, join between the ovary and the uterus of the female, it looks like an elephant trunk
<span>Vas deferens: are the ducts between the testis and the prostate, it transports the spermatozoid and will be mixed with the prostatic secretion (sperm).</span>

How might the ATP produced in a muscle cell be impacted by a worldwide drought.

Nina [5.8K]

With each contraction cycle, actin moves relative to myosin. ... ATP can then attach to myosin, which allows the cross-bridge cycle to start again; further muscle contraction can occur. Therefore, without ATP, muscles would remain in their contracted state, rather than their relaxed state.

3. There is a gene that affects pea pod color and has two alleles: G = yellow and g = green. There is another gene that affects

Lena [83]

A. Mendel in his experiments used two true breeding plants that only express one particular trait. He would chose plants with different versions of the trait and cross pollinate them. So, in this case, Mendel’ s P generation would be:

P: GGWW x ggww

B. The possible gametes produced by these first or original parent plants (GGWW and ggww genotypes of the parents) are:

GW and gw. When an organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one copy of the gene, which is selected randomly (Mendel’s law of segregation).

C. If the gametes GW and gw are joined, the genotype in the offspring would be GgWw. This is dihybrid organism because it is heterozygous (have two different allelss, one recessive, one dominant) at two different genetic loci, G and W. The offspring represents the F1 generation.

D. If the individuals with the genotype GgWw are crossed with the individuals with the same genotype (GgWw), the possible gametes are GW, Gw, gW, gw. The possible genotypes for the F2 generation are: GGWW, GGWw, GgWW, GgWw, GGww, Ggww, ggWW, ggWw and ggww. There are nine different genorypes. The genotypic ratio is 1:2:2:1:4:1:2:2:1.

E. F2 generation of offspring of this dihybrid cross has a 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio. Mendel did similar experiment with his plants and conluded that the pairs of traits in the parental generation (P generation) sorted independently from one another, from one generation to the next.

Which characteristics of living things does a car have? How can the characteristics of living things be used to show that a car

Vikentia [17]

Some characteristics of living things that a car has is that it can move around, it takes in liquid to break down to use, and it puts out carbon dioxide. The characteristics of living things can be used to show that a car is not living because living things can be broken down by other living things, they also can think for themselves, and can move without something controlling them. (Plants can too, but very slowly.)
