Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Jimmy was right to say organisms grow because their cells grow.</em>

<u>The growth of organisms can happen in terms of an increase in the number of cells they have (through mitotic cell division) or an increase in the volume of the cells with or without an increase in the number of cells. </u>

A good example is found in plants, most of which undergo an increase in size without any increase in the number of cells in their bodies. The uptake and storage of water in the vacuole produces a pressure that pushes on the cell walls, causing an increase in length, girths, and other growth features of the cells of plants.

What part of the plant produces fruit and seeds? HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!∵
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The gynoecium of the flower(s) forms all or part of the fruit, which occurs from the maturation of one or more blooms. One or more ovules contain the egg cell of the megagametophyte, which is found inside the ovary/ovaries. These ovules will form seeds after double fertilisation.

Suppose scientists determine that a set of genes is significantly more prevalent in murderers than in the population at large. W
forsale [732]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

<u>That a gene is common to all murderers in the population does not mean that murderers are not at fault for their crimes. </u>

<em>Having a gene that correlates with murder just gives one a genetic tendency but the environment and personal choice still have to influence the decision to commit the crime. In other words, one might have the genetic tendency to commit murder but still has to be environmentally enabled and the ability to choose to either do it or otherwise. Nature, nurture, and personal choice would have to synergistically work together for the phenotypic expression of such a gene. </em>

In cellular respiration, a series of molecules forming an electron transport chain alternately accepts and then donates electron
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Release of electrons from reducing powers to O2 via four protein complexes allows release of small amount of energy at each step and makes the process energy efficient.

Explanation:

If NADH and FADH2 would reduce O2 directly, a large amount of energy would have been released in a single step. On the other hand, oxidation of these reducing powers through a series of electron carrier release a small amount of energy at each step which in turn is temporarily stored in form of proton motive force across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Transfer of a pair of the electron to O2 pumps four protons by complex I, four by complex III and two by complex IV. The resultant proton motive force effectively stores the energy of electron transfer. This energy is then used to drive ATP synthesis.
