<span>Potatoes are also known as tubers and they commonly make up most of the carbohydrate needs that the body can get from food. It is made up of parenchyma tissue that makes the plant have the ability of cloning and low metabolic activity. They are commonly used for experimentation as a “model tissue” because of these characteristics. <span>

The correct answer would be A.) Urinary Bladder
Answer:
<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>
Explanation:
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.
Answer:
Jaundice is a symptom of cirhosis which is related to the chronic liver disease
Explanation:
Bilirubin is produced in the body when the hemoglobin protein in old red blood cells is broken down. Erythrocytes continuously undergo a (breaking apart) process. As the red blood cells disintegrate, the hemoglobin is degraded or broken into globin (the protein part), iron, and heme. The heme first breaks apart into biliverdin, a green pigment which is immediately reduced to bilirubin, an orange-yellow pigment. The bilirubin is then transported to the liver where it reacts with a solubilizing sugar called glucuronic acid. This more soluble form of bilirubin (conjugated) is excreted into the bile. The bile passes through the gall bladder then goes into the intestines where the bilirubin is converted into a variety of pigments.
Jaundice occurs when the diseased liver doesn't remove enough bilirubin, a blood waste product, from your blood. Cirrhosis, when in its late stages, can cause Jaundice. Cirrhosis occurs as a result of severe scarring of the liver caused by chronic liver disease. As a healthy liver tissue becomes damaged over time, it is replaced by scar tissue, which affects the structure of the liver and decreasing its ability to function.
