Answer:

X in the diagram represents the cell membrane and performs the function of regulates the transport of materials.

Explanation:

The cell membrane, marked with X in the diagram, is a lipid bilayer with hydrophobic properties, which acts as a semi-permeable membrane to the passage of substances.

This membrane, that covers the cell and keeps it isolated from the extracellular space, has the function of controlling or regulating the passage of materials from the extracellular to the intracellular space, as well as the exit of substances from the interior of the cell. To fulfill this function it has several alternatives of transmembrane transport.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The cell membrane does not </em><em><u>control the energy released</u></em><em>. </em>
  • <em><u>Protein synthesis</u></em><em> occurs in the rugged endoplasmic reticulum. </em>
  • <em><u>Cellulose synthesis</u></em><em> occurs inside the cell, a process dependent on photosynthesis.</em>

Round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in
antoniya [11.8K]

Genotype - RR - 25%, Rr - 50%, rr - 25% (1:2:1)

Phenotype - Round seeds - 75%, Wrinkled seeds - 25% (3:1)

<h3>How explain your answer?</h3>

Let the letter "r" stand for the alleles, where R is round seeds and r is wrinkled seeds. A genotype is an individual's genes represented through alleles. Phenotypes are how the genes express themselves. In other words, genotypes will be written using letters, the alleles, and phenotypes will be the possible outcomes of the alleles.

Both of the parent seeds have the genotypes Rr and the phenotype of round seeds.

If you create punnet square (which had four boxes in total) 1 will have RR, 2 will have Rr, and 1 will have rr. These are the ratios for the genotypes. Each box represents 25%, so the percentages will be 25, 50, and 25. Finally, 3 of these boxes (RR and Rr) will result in round seeds because those are dominant. Only the genotype rr will result in wrinkled phenotype. Therefore, the ratio is 3:1 or 75% to 25%.

Thus, this could be the answer.

Explain the relationship between the processes of breathing and cellular respiration
Eduardwww [97]

Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release the energy stored in food.

Explanation:

In breathing living organisms take oxygen and release the carbon dioxide it is similar to the aerobic respiration.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide!
