what functions do pseudopodia perform for an Amoeba?​

Answers

Answer 1

Pseudopodia are an example of blunt transient processes employed by cells such as amoeba or the neutrophil leucocyte for locomotion and the uptake of food particles and /or other extraneous matter.

Pseudopods have two main functions: (1) locomotion and (2) capture of prey or engulfing of food. For instance, amoeba can crawl by extending the cytoplasm and the contraction of the filaments. The pseudopodbulge outward from the edge of the cell to pull in the entire organism as it goes forward.

Considering that a hydrophilic stain was used to stain the skin, explain why the fat vacuoles in adipocytes are white (Hint: Remember hydrophilic will color those areas that "like water", think about water`s relationship with fats).

Answers

Answer:

The hydrophilic nature of the stain explains that these molecules are polar and charge molecules. therefore, attracts the water molecule but due to their polar nature, it will avoid lipid or fat molecules.

Adipocytes are the cells that are made up of fat or lipids that are hydrophobic due to their non-polar nature and due to this fact, these hydrophilic stains will not be able to stain adipocytes and will not be colored by the stain.

Answers

Answer:

Due to short life cycle and mode of reproduction.

Explanation:

The main cause of the fast growth rate of Eichhornia is their mode of reproduction and shorter life cycle. Eichhornia reproduce through sexually and clonally. Its life cycle is only 10 days means that within 10 days the population of Eichhornia becomes double. It reproduces through sexual reproduction as well as asexual reproduction such as clonally which also contributes for the fast growth of eichhornia plant.

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales.

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

Answer:

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas.

Explanation:  

A cladogram is a branched diagram of characteristics shared by the organisms of a group, that represents the most probable evolutive history of the linage. Cladograms reflect the phylogenetic relationships among groups through phylogenetic trees.

In the phylogenetic tree, the taxonomic groups of interest are located in the extremes of the lines called branches. The ramification point, which is also called "node" or divergence point, represents the location of the most recent common ancestor.

The common ancestor position will determine how related are two species. If they have a recent common ancestor, they are closely related to each other. On the other hand, if the common ancestor is not recent and is located far away in the tree, then the two species will be less related to each other.  

A Hippopotamuses are more closely related to cows than to javelinas. TRUE. Hippopotamuses share a common more recent ancestor with cows than with javelinas. This means that the hyppopotamus is more related to cows than to javelinas. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Cows, and the common ancestor shared by Hippopotamuses and Javelinas.  

B Toothed whales are more closely related to mouse deer than to hippopotamuses. FALSE. Tooth whales are more related to the hyppopotamus. Their common ancestor is more recent than the common ancestor between toothed whales and mouse deer. The arrows in the cladogram (attached file) show the positions of the common ancestors.

C Javelinas and pigs are more closely related than baleen whales and toothed whales. FALSE. They are equally related.  

D Cows and mouse deer are more closely related than javelinas and pigs.

FALSE. They are equally related.

Explanation:

The high possibility of corn kernel colour is yellow if the yellow colour allele is dominant because the dominant trait or allele always appear in the offspring while on the other hand, the recessive allele does not appear in the shape and structure of the offspring so we can say that dominance is the reason for the appearance of colour in the seed or kernel.

Des a magnetic field flows though the inside of a magnet

Answers

Answer:

Magnetic field lines are defined to have the direction that a small compass points when placed at a location. (a) If small compasses are used to map the magnetic field around a bar magnet, they will point in the directions shown: away from the north pole of the magnet, toward the south pole of the magnet.

Explanation:

Answer:

However, the magnetic field lines do not just end at the tip of the magnet. They go right through it, so that inside the magnet the magnetic field points from the south pole to the north pole. Thus the magnetic field lines form a closed loop and do not have any ends.

B) Watching changes in weather patterns.

C) Using past earthquake patterns.

D) Predicting stress accumulation based on how recently an earthquake occurred.

Answers

Predicting stress accumulation based on how recently an earthquake occurred is not the method that has been used to predict earthquakes. The correct option is D.

What is earthquake?

Earthquakes typically result from subsurface rock breaking unexpectedly and rapid movement along a fault.

The seismic waves that cause the ground to tremble are brought on by this quick release of energy.

When two chunks of the ground abruptly slide past one another, an earthquake results. The fault or fault plane is the area where they slide.

Erratic animal behaviour, such as fearful or puzzled pets, or birdcalls not typically heard at night, can be a clue that an earthquake is about to happen. Water levels in wells or artesian bores suddenly change.

It hasn't been possible to anticipate earthquakes by basing stress accumulation on how recently an earthquake happened.

Thus, the correct option is D.

how does shell color work to protect the egg from sunlight?

Answers

Answer:

Birds that live in cool climates lay darker eggs, as darker colors absorb more heat from the sunlight

Birds that live in hotter climates lay lighter eggs to prevent the egg from overheating.

The pigmentation acts to thermo-regulate the internal temperature of the egg, acting as a buffer between the embryo and the outside world. It does this by preventing overheating of the egg, through reflecting the sunlight off the pigmentation, rather than allowing it to be absorbed through the shell

B. Multiple allele in which offspring recessive three allele from only one parent.

C. Polygenic in which offspring recessive three allele from each parent.

D. Polygenic in which offspring recessive three allele from only one parent.

Answers

Answer:

C. Polygenic in which offspring receive three allele from each parent.

Explanation:

In genetics, a polygenic inheritance is an inheritance that involves more than one gene i.e. more than one gene controls a particular trait. This is the case of the skin color trait in humans, which is controlled by three genes.

However, since each gene contains two alleles, each parent will contribute three alleles for the three genes to the development of an offspring i.e. three alleles from the father and three from the mother will result in three genes in the offspring, each containing two alleles.

Answer:D

Explanation:



(b) Explain how the addition of a phosphate group to certain amino acids of Brec likely affects the tertiary structure and function of Brec. Explain how

the addition of a small RNA could prevent the activation of kinase D?

Answers

Answer:

Protein phosphorylation can activate/deactivate protein function, while small RNAs can be used for repressing translation of mRNAs through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway

Explanation:

Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that acts to activate, inhibit, or reversibly switch on/off protein function. Protein phosphorylation confers a reversible and versatile process that cells use to transmit signals and respond to environmental stimuli. This PTM is well known to modify the tertiary structure of the protein and thus activate/inhibit protein functions such as, for example, signaling pathways associated with protein interactions. In consequence, protein phosphorylation can be used by a cell to regulate Brec activity. On the other hand, small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as, for example, microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), are regulatory molecules that bind by complementary base pairing to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in order to repress translation and/or trigger mRNA degradation through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The RNAi pathway is widely used in molecular biology to silence genes of interest (for example, in this case, the gene that encodes for the kinase D protein).

1. Adding the phosphate group to the amino acid chains is known as phosphorylation. This attachment affects the tertiary arrangement and function of Brec.

Amino acids join together to form the protein that needs to be stimulated and deactivated for proper functioning.

Protein phosphorylation is very crucial in post-translation modification.

For protein function, it acts as an activator, inhibitor, reversibly on and offs the switch.

Phosphorylation assures a reversible process to the cell to transmit signals for the cell functioning.

Therefore, Brec activity can be controlled by the phosphorylation of proteins.

2. Small RNA's are RNA fragments which is around 150 nucleotide in length.

Functionally significant small RNA's such as siRNAs, microRNAs scaRNAs and many other acts as regulatory molecules which target and adheres to the mRNA transcripts.

This binding inhibits the translation process or degrades the mRNA by activating the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway.

RNAi pathway is used to suppress the activation of the kinase D.

B. Cheetahs in current populations have better chances of survival today than they did in the past.

C. Cheetahs in current populations are less likely to become extinct.

D. Cheetahs in current populations are less likely to be able to adapt to environmental changes.


Answers

Answer:

Cheetahs in current populations are less likely to be able to adapt to environmental changes

Explanation:

i got the question wrong cuz some1 but im willing to help others this is the correct answer D is the correct answer:)

Cheetahs in current populations are less likely to be able to adapt to environmental changes. Therefore, option (D) is correct.

What is limited variation?

Less possible combinations of characteristics indicates a lower level of genetic diversity within the population. Because of this, there may be fewer genetic variations available to supply potentially beneficial characteristics that can aid in the survival of the population. This can have a detrimental impact on the population's ability to adapt to changes in its environment, which can have negative effects.

Because there is less genetic variation in the current population of cheetahs, it is possible that they will have a reduced ability to adjust to changes in their environment, such as the appearance of new diseases, shifts in climate, or the loss of habitat. This might make the possibility of the population going extinct significantly more likely. Hence, the solution that you should select is option D.
