Cells are what make up everything which is why they are basic units, nut inside this basic unit is a whole functioning organism with parts in it that help make everything work. think of a cell like a clock. different gears move different things and if one was missing the clock wouldn't work. they all work together to make the clock (cell) run and do it's job, whatever that may be. idk if this answered your question but I hope it helps you understand better.

A very rare disease will cause damage to the ribosomes in cells. what would be the direct effect of this disease?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

A rare disease that causes damage to the cell's ribosomes will have as a direct effect the inability to perform protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are cellular organelles formed by proteins and a type of RNA called ribosomal RNA, whose function is to translate the genetic code of the mRNA codon sequence and convert it into amino acids. This implies the first step for protein synthesis to occur.

<em><u>If a rare disease could structurally or functionally affect the ribosomes, the translation of mRNA into amino acids could not occur, so protein synthesis in the cell would not be possible</u></em>.

The consequences of the lack of protein synthesis involve severe consequences on the structure and function of a living organism.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is - logistic growth.

Explanation:

The growth of bats is only limited by the fruit trees they feed on. It is an example of the concept of carrying capacity of an environment, so this is best modelled by logistic growth.

The Types 1-3 of survival growth are related to age, while exponential growth does not have any limits related to environmental capacity.

The correct answer is - logistic growth.
