Triss [41]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is - glucose is broken down into cellular energy (ATP).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the double membrane cell organelle presents in all eukaryotic cells that produce the energy by the process of cellular respiration from the food to the cell to perform its day to day functions.

The cellular respiration is the process that involves the braking of the sugars into simple molecules and these catabolic reaction produce energy with CO2 and water as waste. The energy is stored in the form of ATP which is generated in the inner membrane of mitochondria. ATP is used by the cell to perform its function.

Thus, the prower house of the cell is mitochondria.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Spinocerebellar tract axons carry sensory information into the cerebellum by the inferior cerebellar peduncle. This peduncle contains afferent and efferent tracts of the cerebellum.

The cerebral peduncles are responsible for learning motor skills, refining motor movements, etc.

The inferior cerebellar peduncle (also called the restiform body) is a thick strand that connects the cerebellum to other parts of the nervous system.

This peduncle (inferior cerebellar peduncle) is located ventromedially to the middle cerebellar peduncle.

A typical raindrop is much more massive than a mosquito and falling much faster than a mosquito flies. how does a mos quito surv
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Below are the questions:

A) A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 45 times as massive and falling at 8.9m/s , a typical raindrop speed. How fast is the raindrop, with the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward if the collision is perfectly inelastic? 

<span>B) Because a raindrop is "soft" and deformable, the collision duration is a relatively long 8.0 ms. What is the mosquito's average acceleration, in g's, during the collision? The peak acceleration is roughly twice the value you found, but the mosquito's rigid exoskeleton allows it to survive accelerations of this magnitude. In contrast, humans cannot survive an acceleration of more than about 10 g. 
</span>
Below are the answers:

a. <span>MU = (M + m)V; where M = 45 m, U = 8.9 m/s, find V = ?. V = (45/46)*8.9 = 8.7 m/s 
</span>
b. <span>F = m dV/dT = m 8.7/8E-3 = m 1.0875E+03; so G = 1.0875E+03/9.8 = 111 G's.</span>

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Viruses: Found in extreme environments. Cannot survive outside of a host cell, can only be seen with an electron microscope

Fungi: Obtain nutrition from organic or inorganic sources or carry out photosynthesis. It is not usually associated with human diseases. Eukaryote: It can be unicellular or multicellular.

Bacteria: They have cell walls that contain peptidoglycan. Found in extreme environments (via spores)

Explanation:

In the part of the answer, the answer was given by grouping the different characteristics of the microorganisms, classifying them into three groups.

Viruses are considered microorganisms that need the replicative machine to reproduce their RNA or DNA, this is how it is doubted whether they are living organisms or not.

Fungi belong to a very broad group of subtypes, but they all refer to the fungi kingdom, they are in the form of spores in the soil or in the air, those fungi that are considered pathogens for humans, such as the generators of histoplasmosis, or blastomycosis. Most fungi are not pathogenic to our body, so some are edible, such as yeast.

On the other hand, and finally we have bacteria, which are a family that is classified into many groups according to their genus and species, their shape is what determines their nomenclature, such as those coconuts, which are grouped together in a of bunch of grapes and are called thus streptococcus in synonymous to this method of colonization and form. Many bacteria are typical of our commensal flora or microbiota, others are not, thus generating opportunistic infections or severe infections.
