Answer:

(a) Microfilaments

(b) Microtubules

(c) Microtubules

(d) Microfilaments

(e) Intermediate filaments

(f) Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules

(g) Microfilaments, microtubules

(h) Microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules

(i) Microtubules, microfilaments

(j) Microtubules

Explanation:

Microtubules (MTs) are dimers of the protein tubulin (alpha- and beta-tubulin subunits) and they are major components of the cytoskeleton. MTs play diverse cellular roles including, mechanical support (cytoskeleton), transport, motility, chromosome segregation, etc. Microfilaments (MFs) are protein filaments that also form part of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. MFs consist of G-actin monomers assembled in linear actin polymers, and their functions include mechanical support, cytokinesis, changes in cell shape, amoeboid movement, endocytosis and exocytosis, etc. MFs associate with the protein myosin to generate muscle contractions. Actin filaments/MTs assembly from monomeric actin/tubulin is caused due to energy expenditure, where ATP/GTP bound to actin/tubulin is hydrolyzed during polymerization. Finally, intermediate filaments (IFs) are a type of cytoskeletal element composed of a heterogeneous group of structural elements, and they are not found in all eukaryotes. The primary function of the IFs is to contribute to the mechanical support for the plasma membrane where these filaments come into contact with other cells and/or with the extracellular matrix. The IFs are not directly involved in cell movement. All 3 types of cytoskeletal elements (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, microtubules) can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy when cells express chimeric MT/IF/MF.–GFP fusion proteins.

Some plants have stems called
inna [77]

Answer:

Runners

Explanation:

stems are usually upright and prop up the plant to gather sunlight, however, some stems grow along the ground. These stems are called runners and the plant itself is called a stolon. Runners are involved in asexual reproduction of plants. They have nodes along them which can grow into another plant.

In the life-cycle of the malaria parasite plasmodium, where does fertilization and formation of the zygote occur?.
daser333 [38]

Fertilization and formation of the zygote occur Within the body of mosquito.

Zygote, from the Ancient Greek (zygtós), "attached, yoked," from (zygoun), "to join, to yoke," A fertilization between two gametes produces  a eukaryotic cell. The genome of a zygote, which consists of the DNA from each gamete, is what makes up a new individual creature and holds all of its genetic material.

The zygote is the first developmental stage in animals with many cells. When an egg cell and sperm cell unite to produce a new, distinct organism, a zygote is created in humans and the majority of other anisogamous species. With the aid of mitosis, the zygote can divide asexually in single-celled organisms to create identical progeny. The chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of a Chlamydomonas zygote is inherited uniparentally from the parent with the mt+ mating type; as a result, such cells are typically uncommon. The mapping of chloroplast genetics through recombination was made possible by these uncommon biparental zygotes.

Write down two places in the school where

you think there might be a lot of bacteria,

and write down two places in the school

where you think there will be very little

bacteria. Explain why you chose these

places.

Explanation:

There is a lot of bacteria in the restroom because it is they restroom of course and there is a lot of people who go in and out through out the day. Some people do not wash their hands after using the bathroom, also from other places. One of the most cleanest areas might be the science lab because they are always cleaning up everything and disinfecting.
