A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 160 cells in interphase, 20 cells in prophase, 6 cells in prometaphase, 2 cell

s in metaphase, 7 cells in anaphase, and 5 cells in telophase. The complete cell cycle requires 24 hours. Match the average duration to the appropriate cell cycle stage in these cells. M phase prophase metaphase telophase 4.8 hours 14.4 minutes 2.4 hours 36 minutes

Answer:

M phase: 4.8 hr

Prophase: 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 0.84 hr

Telophase: 0.6 hr

Explanation:

Mitosis, also known as M phase, is the process of nuclear division after interphase, which is followed by cytoplasmic division via cytokinesis. Mitosis can be subdivided into the following phases: Prophase,  Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In this case, 160 cells are in interphase (for a total of 200 cells), thereby 40 cells are in mitosis >> 200 - 160 = 40 cells. Since the complete cell cycle requires 24 hours, it is possible to calculate the average duration of each phase:

M phase: 40/200 = 0.2 x 24 hr = 4.8 hr

Prophase: 20/200 = 0.1 x 24 hr = 2.4 hr

Prometaphase: 6/200 = 0.030 x 24 hr = 0.72 hr

Metaphase: 2/200 = 0.01 x 24 hr = 0.24 hr

Anaphase: 7/200 = 0.035 x 24 hr = 0.84 hr

Telophase: 5/200 = 0.025 x 24 hr = 0.6 hr

During cellular respiration the largest amount of ATP is generated in
Degger [83]
The electron transport chain of the cellular respiration process produces maximum ATP.

There are three parts of cellular respiration:

Glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP.
Krebs cycle, which does not produce any ATP. It produces only the raw materials for ATP production.
Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.

Do cnidarians have an endoskeleton, exoskeleton, or no skeleton?
Sav [38]
In medusae, mesoglea comprises the bulk of the animal and forms a resilient skeleton. In polyps, the water-filled coelenteron acts as a hydrostatic skeleton, which, in concert with the mesoglea, maintains the form of these animals. Muscles in cnidarians are extensions of the bases of ectodermal and endodermal cells.

The cells of organisms found in the phylum porifera (sponges) are not organized into tissues. What structures are absent in orga
Shalnov [3]

Members of phylum Porifera are commonly known as spongs. They are generally marine and mostly asymmetrical animals. These are primitive multicellular animals and have cellular level of organization (lacks tissues). These Organisms (belonging to phylum Porifera) lacks most of the structures that are present in multicellular organisms like digestive system, respiratory system, Brain etc

Body of Spongs are made up of spicules or spongin fibers and these organism contain a water canal system which helps them in digestion, reproduction and catching their food in marine habitat.

A plant absorbs energy from the sun. Where does the energy go from there?
user100 [1]
Well, since I am in 8th grade I can help, try gthis...

<span>The process by which a plant absorbs energy from the sun is, as you know, photosynthesis.

Remember the Law of Conservation of Energy - when energy is transferred, it is neither created nor destroyed but rather takes a new form.

In this case, the plant takes energy in from the sun (through sunlight, which transfers through radiation) and "leaves" the plant after the process has occurred in a form of potential energy - the oxygen produced in this process has potential energy.</span>
