Why a single ovum is produced by oogenesis

Biology
1 answer:
Tasya [4]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: The other ova become polar bodies.

Explanation: After meiosis I and II in oogenesis, there should be 4 eggs, but there aren't because the other eggs 3 eggs become these small cells called polar bodies that end up dying out through apoptosis. The reason why polar bodies are made is because they take out extra DNA that the single ovum is supposed to have.

So only 1 egg is made and the rest are polar bodies that get rid of extra DNA and then die by apoptosis.

How does ATP enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell membrane?​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

The ATP enables the movement of transport proteins to move the ions across a cell membrane by its getting fueled by its hydrolysis

<u>Explanation:</u>

The plasma membrane is a semi permeable membrane that is the movement of molecules across the membrane is constricted. There are 2 types of moment across the plasma membrane one is the active transport and the other is the passive transport. The active transport involves the help of ATP whereas the passive transport does not involve ATP to transport the materials.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

<h2>A</h2>

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is an inactive enzyme which is activated into active digestive enzyme known as pepsin. It is a digestive enzyme which causes breakdown of proteins. Active pepsin causes cleavage of more pepsinogen molecule by a positive feedback loop and leads to increase in the concentration of active pepsin molecule.

Its concentration increases according the requirement in the body which is controlled by feedback system.
