Answer:

Blood cells are a lot smaller than nerve cells and have a disc-shaped structure, both great traits for moving quickly through small spaces. Their disc shape also provides them with a big surface where lots of oxygen can enter the cell.

hope it helps

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Nerve cells:

They have a long fiber (axon) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances.

The axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath, the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron.

Branching at ends of the cell to connect with other nerve cells.

Red Blood Cells:

They contain haemoglobin, a red protein that combines with oxygen.

No nucleus to save space for more of this protein.

They are small and flexible so they can fit through narrow blood vessels

Biconcave shape, provides a large surface area.

Thin cell membrane to let things diffuse in and out easily.

Cells differ by shape and size for their specialized purposes.

In other words, cells have different shapes because they do different things. Each cell type has its own role to play in helping our bodies to work properly, and their shapes and sizes help them carry out these roles effectively.

Size (seen in both nerve cell is long red blood cell small)

Shape (red blood cell biconcaved nerve cell again slender and long with branching)

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 24, 24

Explanation:

In any type of cell division, there is an interphase stage before the actual process of division which is a preparatory process or stage that includes different substages like G1, S, and G2. S phase is a synthesis of the cell cycle responsible for duplication or replication of the DNA.

So, at the end of the S phase, the DNA amount becomes double its initial amount and remains the same in the G2 phase. So, if the initial amount is 12 picogram then it will be double in the S phase and remain 12 in G2 as well.

Like DNA, RNA contains four nitrogenous bases. Three of them are the same as those found in DNA. The one that is different is ca
densk [106]
The nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
The nitrogenous bases in RNA are adenine, guanine, uracil, and cytosine.
So the base in RNA that is different than in DNA is uracil.

Hope this helps.
