Answer AND Explanation:
MALES
Testes: they are oval shaped structures that produce the male gametes and sex hormone called testosterone.
Seminiferous tubules: tubules where spermatogenesis occurs.
Vas deferens: are tubules which lead to the epididymis.
Epididymis: is along, coiled tube for storage of sperms. it contraction and relaxation pushes sperms out and allows ejaculation through the urethra.
Accessory glands like the seminal vesicles, cowper's gland and prostate gland produce seminal fluid that provides a nutrient medium for sperms to swim in.
Scrotum: contains the testes outside the body.
FEMALES
Ovary: these are oval-shaped structures that produce female gametes and sex hormones.
Oviduct: these are hollow structures with an expanded funnel-shaped opening which accepts the released ovum and directs it to the fallopian tube. Fertilization takes place in the oviduct forming zygote.
Uterus: has an inner layer called endometrium which becomes folded and vascularised to allow implantation. The endometrium nourishes the embryo..
Cervix: is a muscular ring between the uterus and the vagina. It secretes a plug of mucus, which prevents entry of pathogens and air
The vagina is a muscular copulatory canal into which penis enters. Vagina also allows passage of foetus during parturition.
Answer:
a) to provide NADPH for reductive biosynthesis and for dealing with oxidative stress
d) to provide ribose-phosphate for nucleotide and nucleic acid biosynthesis
Explanation:
During the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose 6-phosphate is oxidized into pentose phosphates. This pathway uses NADP as an electron acceptor and reduces it into NADPH. The products of this pathway, the pentose phosphates are used by the cells to synthesize nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The pentose phosphates are also used for the synthesis of nucleotides and coenzymes such as NADH, FADH2, etc.
These synthetic pathways are particularly occurring at a higher rate in the rapidly dividing cells such as the cells of bone marrow, skin. The NADPH formed during this pathway is used by cells as an electron donor for the reactions of reductive biosynthesis. Some of these pathways are the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and steroid hormones. NADPH is also involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species such as oxygen radicals. These ROS are responsible for oxidative stress.
Answer:
Warm air is cooling quickly.
Explanation:
Hot air rises and cool air sinks.
