Answer:
RER is involved in protein synthesis, folding, transport and modification.
Explanation:
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is an organnelle found in eukaryotic cells. They are of two types; Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, so named based on the appearance of their surface. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) obtains it rough appearance from the membrane bound ribosomes attached to it.
Due to the ribosomes that attach to them during protein synthesis, their function is very much associated with protein synthesis. They are primarily involved in protein production, which would either remain in their lumen for further modification/processing called Glycosylation (adding sugar to proteins to form glycoproteins) or be transported through secretory vesicles to the Golgi apparatus. They also fold this proteins in their inner membrane structure called cisternae.
The macromolecule must be starch.
Explanation:
Starch is a polymer of Glucose joined by glycosydic bond.
Starch is the main energy storage substance in green plants.
Starches react with iodine and give a bluish black or black color and thus iodine test is considered as a confirmatory test for starches.
In this experiment ,the solution turns very dark black on addition of iodine so we can be sure that the solution contained starch.
Metabolism: all chemical reactions within a cell
Answer:
The primary means for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body is the <u>spinal cord</u>.
Explanation:
The spinal cord is the main pathway of the nervous system. The impulses are transmitted to the brain through bundles of ascending nerve fibers, while the descending fibers transmit impulses in the opposite direction. Signals are transported to and from different parts of the body along the fibers of the pair of spinal nerves, which form intersections with the spinal cord through their dorsal and ventral roots; the sensory and motor fibers converge in the gray matter of the medulla.

Question: Impulses originating in the part of the brain called the medulla would most directly affect which body structure?
a. A leg muscle
b. A ligament
c. An arm bone
d. The heart
Answer:
d. The heart
Explanation:
The medulla oblongata contains a number of reflex centers for regulating vital body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and vasoconstriction. The medulla contains several nuclei, a collection of neuronal cell bodies.
For example, impulses originated in the cardiovascular center regulates the rate and force of the heartbeat and the diameter of blood vessels. Impulses from the cardiovascular center flow along sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. An increase in sympathetic stimulation from the cardiovascular center of medulla increases heart rate and contractility while a decrease in sympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate and contractility.
