In the adults, the growth rate slows with age. The healing mechanism of the different cells if damaged is different than that of the younger ones. If a cartilage is damage in the adults, the chondrocytes which are still surviving secrete more extracellular matrix in order to heal the damaged cartilage. The chondrocytes cells are present in the cartilage, and they function to maintain the cellular matrix of the cartilage.
The exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.
state the uses of excretory products in plants
Carbon dioxide, excess water produced during respiration and nitrogenous compounds produced during protein metabolism are the major excretory products in plants. Plants produce two gaseous waste products i.e. oxygen during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide during respiration.
Hope this helps :)
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
- So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.
