Answer: Stratum Corneum

Epidermis. The epidermis is the thin outer layer of the skin. It consists of 3 types of cells: Squamous cells. The outermost layer is continuously shed is called the stratum corneum

Explanation:

stratum corneum

The epidermis has no blood supply and depends on diffusion from the dermal cells for its metabolic needs. The dead-cell layer of the stratum corneum provides the protection from water loss that allows vertebrates to dwell on land

Explain how parasitism differs from commensalism.
babymother [125]
<span>Commensalism is an interaction in which one of those species would benefit, and the other one would not be affected. Parasitism is an interaction in which one of those species would benefit at the expense of the host organism. Thus, in commensalism we have one positive and one neutral result while in parasitism we have one positive and one negative result.</span>

Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins
Harman [31]


The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to  lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which  summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes  in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding  this information, which results in the making of  protein.

During glycolysis, what is the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP? A. the chemical bonds in pyruvic acid B. t
seropon [69]

During glycolysis, the source of the chemical energy that is captured in ATP:

B. the chemical bonds in glucose

Explanation:

  • Glycolysis  is also known as Embden-meyerhof pathway.
  • It is an oxidative process in which one mole of glucose is partially oxidized into two moles of pyruvate.
  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell in  both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
  • The breakdown of six-carbon glucose into two molecules the three-carbon pyruvate occurs in ten steps.
  • The first five steps of this pathway constitute the preparatory phase.This phase consumes energy during the phosphorylation of glucose.
  • The preparatory phase produces two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P).
  • The  two molecules of G3P are then converted to pyruvate in the next five steps that constitute the payoff phase.
  • The energy gain of glycolysis comes in this payoff phase.
  • The oxidation of G3P yields a high energy molegule 1,3 -bisphosphoglycerate .
  • The high energy phosphate on carbon 1 of this molecule is donated to ADP and ATP is produced.
  • This synthesis of ATP is called substrate level phosphorylation because ADP phosphorylation is coupled with exergonic breakdown of a high-energy bond.
