Number two is the answer

<u>Answer</u>: Option 4 The genes in each type of cell are being expressed differently

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Both skin cells and muscle cells are somatic cells i.e the cells that make up the body parts.
  • Since, both of them are somatic cells they both contain the <em>same number of chromosomes</em> which  in case of humans is  23 pairs.
  • The set of genes present in each type of cell in the body is the same and therefore, both muscle cell and skin cells have the same genes.
  • The reason why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same is that even though these cells contain the <em>same genes</em>, there is <em>differential expression of genes</em> in these cells.
  • Differential expression of genes basically means that different combination of genes are activated in a cell which plays a role of defining the purpose of the cell.
  • This means that the set of genes that are activated in the skin cells are different from that of the muscle cells.
  • As the <em>genes are being expressed differently</em> in the muscle and skin cells, both these cells acquire different characteristics and thus, look different and perform different functions.

So out of all the options, option 4 is the correct one.

What do you think the most interesting animal in the world is and why?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Humming birds are one of the most interesting animals in the world. Some of them are so small that they are often mistaken for bumblebees. They're known to dive underwater and quickly dive right out while flying, and they eat more than they weigh to prepare their travel across an entire ocean non-stop. On top of all of this, they can be pretty rare depending on where you live, and they're really fun to watch.

Hope this helps you out :)

g To answer this question, you may reference the Metabolic Map. Select the steps of glycolysis in which ATP is produced. phospho
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

a) Total of ATP produced in glycolysis is equal to 2

ATP produced:

i) 1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate → 3‑phosphoglycerate (2 ATP are produced)

ii) phosphoenolpyruvate→pyruvate (2 ATP are produced)

b) 26 pyruvate molecules.

Explanation:

a) Glycolysis consists of two steps in which ATP is consumed and two steps in which ATP is released.

ATP produced = 4

ATP consumed = 2

The total of ATP produced in glycolysis is equal to 2 (4-2)

ATP produced:

i) 1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate → 3‑phosphoglycerate (2 ATP are produced)

ii) phosphoenolpyruvate → pyruvate (2 ATP are produced)

b) In the sixth step of glycolysis, inorganic phosphate molecules are consumed:

glyceraldehyde-3‑phosphate → 1,3‑bisphosphoglycerate

2 pi are added in glycolysis. As each glucose molecule undergoes glycolysis, the pi required by the 13 glocosa molecules is 26 (13 * 2).  Glycolysis of each glucose produces 3 pyruvates, so 13 glucose molecules will produce 26 pyruvate molecules.

Please anyone?
Tju [1.3M]

Heat's effect on the wind cycle is most easily observed near the sea. During the day, the ocean absorbs heat from the surface, keeping the air above it cooler than above the land. When the warm air rises from the shore, the cooler air from the ocean blows in to take its place. At night, the land cools quickly, while the ocean radiates the heat it absorbed, keeping the air above warm. This reverses the effect, causing the air offshore to rise and creating a breeze from the land. Uneven heating can also occur due geographical features. A mountainside exposed to the sun will warm more than a shadowed valley below it, creating a wind that blows uphill during the day and downhill at night.

The same principle is responsible for global wind patterns. The polar regions receive less solar radiation than areas near the equator, resulting in a global shift in temperature according to latitude. This, along with differences in temperature and density in various layers of the atmosphere, creates global wind patterns like the jet stream that help drive weather systems.

Hope this helped
