Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

Digestion or breakdown of food in our body can either be physical/mechanical or chemical/enzymatic. As rightly stated in this question, the manual breakdown of food by the teeth is not enough, chemical digestion must occur via the aid of proteinous substances called ENZYMES. Enzymes, which are secreted by certain organs in the body, do the following:

- They speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the chemical process, allowing more productivity.

- Enzymes help break down various sugars that can then be absorbed e.g amylase helps break down starch, proteases break down proteins, lipases break down lipids etc.

To which organelle does a C-terminal signal peptide sequence of the four amino acids KDELdirect peptides?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis, sorting and transport is the important mechanism for the synthesis of protein in the body and the transport of the protein to its specific site or organ. The protein must reaches to its final destination for its proper functioning.

KDEL ( K- leucine, D is aspartic acid, E is glutamic acid and L is lysine ) is the stretch of a specific amino acid that are responsible for the protein molecule to target at its specific site. KDEL is specific for the transport of peptides to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer: etiolation of plant growth in shade, with fast growing cell without chloroplasts. Out of shade, cell differentiate again to produce photosynthesising cells

Explanation: It is a subjective decision as to what is ‘best’. Good examples are plant responses to changes in the nutrient supply.

when soil nitrogen is depleted some plants, such as legumes, grow nodules on their roots, with cells that release chemical signals to attract nitogen fixing bacteria.

Lack of light induces etiolation in many plants. New cells elongate and develop without chloroplasts, with rapid cell division exhibiting gravitropism, extending upward. When they grow beyond the shade area, cell differentiation changes again, to produce photosynthesising cells.

Which of the following is not actual whole cell?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

C. Thrombocytes

Explanation:

Blood is a tissue composed of many cells, which include; red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cell (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes) etc. Of these three types of cells, thrombocytes also known as Platelets are small fragments of a cell with a disk-shape whose primary function is in blood clotting.

In contrast to erythrocytes, and leukocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes) as mentioned in the question, thrombocytes or platelets are not actual whole cells but rather small portion of a cell.
