Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular and multicellular organisms. 2. Provide an example o
Ganezh [65]

(1)

For unicellular organisms, cell division is important for the reproduction of the population, Unicellular organism mainly use cell division, also called binary fission, for pollution growth. This is because unicellular organisms are only composed of one cell.

Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and reproduction. Cell division causes increase in the number of cells composing the organism hence its growth in size. Cell division is also used to create gametes that are used in reproduction by fertilization.

(2)

Even in fully developed organisms, cell division is important in tissue repair. In tissue homeostasis, there is a balanced rate of cell division and cell death .  An example in muscles. Due to the stress experienced by muscle cells, they usually have a lower life span and therefore the damaged cells are often replaced with new ones by cell division. This prevents tissue wastage.

(3)

Growth factors signal the growth of a cell. They usually bind receptors on the cell surface and indicate how the cell should grow and divide base don environmental stimuli. An example is during regular exercises. Growth factors indicate that the muscle cells should divide regularly and grow bigger to accommodate the higher stress in the muscles from the workout. This is how your muscles grow bigger and stronger with more exercise.  

(4)

Differentiation of cells occurs through the silencing of some gene allowing the cell to produce particular proteins (and other biomolecules) that align with its functions in the body. This especially critical in multicellular organisms.  An example is that while al the cells in your body have the same DNA, some cells differentiate into liver cells while others into lungs, stomach, heart, and etcetera.

What are some of the functions of photosystem i and photosystem ii in plants?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Photosystem I (PS-I )and photosystem II (PS-II ) are two multi-protein complexes. These complexes contain the pigments used to absorb, harvest and catalyze the photons and light energy in the photosynthetic reactions. The main purpose of photosynthesis reactions to produce high chemical energy compounds.

Photosystem I and II are different from each other because of their absorbing wavelength of light. PS-I absorbs the longer wavelength of light than PS-II.

PS-I plays the major role in the production of high energy carriers ATP and NADPH using light energy (700 nm).

PS-II plays its function in the hydrolysis of water and ATP synthesis using light energy (680 nm).
