Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

A cell removes a toxin it has produced through a chemical reaction. Which characteristic of living things is the cell demonstrat
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Sweating helps the human body maintain homeostasis by cooling the body when it starts to overheat so the internal temperature is kept more or less the same. When sweat evaporates from the skin, it uses up some of the excess heat energy on the skin, thus helping to keep the body cool.

According to cell theory, all living things are made of cells, and living cells come only from other living cells. Gene theory states that the characteristics of living things are controlled by genes, which are passed from parents to their offspring.

Sample answer: The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is maintained at 21 percent by a balance between two opposing processes: removal of oxygen from the atmosphere by most living things and addition of oxygen to the atmosphere by living things such as plants.

Sample answer: The human ability to sweat is an adaptation that helps maintain homeostasis in a hot environment by removing heat from the body when it evaporates. Like other adaptations, the ability to maintain homeostasis by sweating evolved by natural selection sometime in our evolutionary past.

a. Gene theory

b. Homeostasis

B

An adaptation is a trait that helps a living thing survive and reproduce in a given environment. Sample example. The chameleon’s ability to change color to match their background is an adaptation.

False

False

Humans began life as a single cell because we develop from a fertilized egg cell.

Gene theory states that genes are passed down from parents to their offspring. Genes determine the characteristics or traits of an organism. If these traits are particularly beneficial or adaptive, natural selection will cause the organisms with beneficial traits to produce more offspring compared to those without the beneficial traits. This results in a change in traits over time, which is called evolution.

No. Evolution is defined as a change in the characteristics of living things over time. Evolution through natural selection causes differences in the amount of offspring produced. Having offspring (or not) is, by definition, more than one generation.

Sample answer. I think that when ancestors of chameleons could change their color to match their background, they were less likely to be detected and killed by predators than those that couldn’t change their color. Therefore, the individuals that had the color matching ability were more likely to survive and reproduce than those that didn’t. This is an example of natural selection. Over time, this led to the population evolving the color changing ability, as those that didn’t have the ability died out.

What is the purpose
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. All known cellular life and some viruses contain DNA. The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information.

BARSIC [14]

Muscle cells require more energy than most other cells in order to function. Therefore, muscle cells would be expected to have more ________ and ________ than most other animal cells.

A) Glycogen; Mitochondria B) Peroxisomes; Fat C) Mitochondria; Starch D) Ribosomes; Glycogen E) Glucose; Nuclei.

Answer:

A) Glycogen; Mitochondria

Explanation:

Glycogen is the stored form of glucose present in the animal cells. In human beings, glycogen is mainly present in muscle cells and liver cells. Breakdown of glycogen releases glucose which in turn can be fueled into cellular respiration to produce the energy required for the muscle contraction.

The aerobic phases of cellular respiration are Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. Both of these occur in the mitochondria. Therefore, muscle cells are rich in glycogen storage and have plenty of mitochondria to ensure the supply of ATP required for their contraction. The contraction of muscles requires lots of ATP molecules as a source of energy.
