Answer:

To turn sugars into energy

Explanation:

\bf{ \underline{ \large{Functions \:  of  \: Mitochondria}}}

  • Mitochondria are main sites of aerobic respiration. They are miniature biochemical factories where food stuffs are completely oxidised to carbon dioxide and water.
  • The energy (ATP) produced in the mitochondria helps to perform various energy requiring processes.
  • Because of the formation of ATP in mitochondria it is called power house of the cell.

\bf{ \underline{ \large{Functions \:  of  \: Chloroplast}}}

  • Photosynthesis: Light reaction (in thylakoids), Dark reaction (in stroma).
  • Storage of starch.

How do genes get expressed in an organism?
ikadub [295]
In genetics, gene expression is the most fundamental level at which the genotype gives rise to the phenotype, i.e. observable trait. ... Such phenotypes are often expressed by the synthesis of proteins that control the organism's structure and development, or that act as enzymes catalyzing specific metabolic pathways.

In the polymerization of DNA, a phosphodiester bond is formed between a phosphate group of the nucleotide being added and which
valina [46]

Answer: B

Explanation:

During polymerization of nucleotides to form nucleic acids, the hydroxyl group on the phosphate group attaches to the 3’ carbon of a sugar of one nucleotide to form an ester bond to the phosphate of another nucleotide. The reaction forms a phosphodiester linkage and eliminates a water molecule.

The DNA strands generally runs from 5 prime to 3 prime direction.

Explain the respiratory system of a frog and the importance of "vacularization" of the skin and the mesentery
fredd [130]

 The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.

A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs. The mechanism of taking air into the lungs is however sligthly different than in humans. Frogs do not have ribs nor a diaphragm, which in humans helps serve in expand the chest and thereby decreasing the pressure in the lungs allowing outside air to flow in.

In order to draw air into its mouth the frog lowers the floor of its mouth, which causes the throat to expand. Then the nostrils open allowing air to enter the enlarged mouth. The nostrils then close and the air in the mouth is forced into the lungs by contraction of the floor of the mouth. To elimate the carbon dioxide in the lungs the floor of the mouth moves down, drawing the air out of the lungs and into the mouth. Finally the nostrils are opened and the floor of the mouth moved up pushing the air out of the nostrils.

Frogs also have a respiratory surface on the lining of their mouth on which gas exchange takes place readily. While at rest, this process is their predominate form of breathing, only fills the lungs occasionally. This is because the lungs, which only adults have, are poorly developed.
