Example 1:
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are like factories of cells. If we consider cell as a international clothing chain of companies, then ER are the ones which plan and design the clothing, sew those up, put additional buttons etc. on them, and then ship them on time. The workers (manual and automatic) do the whole procedure.
To understand it better in terms of cellular functions, ER create biomolecules essential for cells and the body as a whole. ribosomes are the workers which do the synthesis. With the help of ribosomes, ER makes the whole process of biomolecule synthesis, modification and delivery smooth, efficient and accurate.
Example 2:
Think of ER as Uber Eats. It provides you the catalogue of delicious food available and can be sent, then forwards your request to the restaurant, then sends a delivery person to wait and collect the order, and then orders the person to delivery food to the correct address on time.
Here, ribosomes would be the restaurants making the food.
**This is a simplification of the actual function of ER but I hope you get the gist. While talking about smooth and rough ER, the examples may change.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. Reduced levels of circulating estrogens.
Explanation:
Estrogens prevent the loss of calcium and ensure its proper mineralization, thus preventing the bones from becoming brittle, maintaining the consistency of the skeleton and preventing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease in which there is a decrease in bone mass density. Thus, the bones become more porous, the number and size of the cavities or cells that exist inside them increases, they are more fragile, they resist shocks worse and they break more easily. Menopause is the definitive cessation of ovarian function that, externally, results in the disappearance of the menses and usually occurs around 50 years (the interval goes from 45 to 55 years). It is the gradual loss of calcium in the bones, which accelerates in the first years of menopause due to estrogen deficiency. At the beginning of the disease, there are no symptoms and, as it progresses, there is a tendency to suffer fractures, which leads to a decrease in height.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
If a DNA sequence is altered from TAGCTGA to TAGTGA, the kind of mutation that has occurred is DELETION.
Deletion is a kind of small-scale mutation in which one or more nucleotides is removed from the DNA. This mutation can alter the reading frame of the gene, and it is irreversible.
Absorbation is the term for when water enters the ground because it is the ground absorbing the water.
Answer:
o determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. This is called the Rule of Superposition. ... With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years
