How does the structure of a distinctive layer that is used as a marker determine it's function?​

Biology

Answer:

Keratin has two main functions: to adhere cells to each other and to form a protective layer on the outside of the skin. In epithelial cells, keratin proteins inside the cell attach to proteins called desmosomes on the surface. The desmosomes act as anchors, holding the cells together.

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
larisa [96]
Large central vacuoles, chloroplasts, and cell walls are only found in plant cells.

Large central vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, but they also maintain the plants' structures.

Cell walls also maintain structure and rigidity.

Chloroplasts are used in the process of photosynthesis, which only occurs in plants.

1. Which of the following correctly compares the changes that take place in an ecosystem during primary succession and secondary
mr Goodwill [35]
The correct answers are as follows:
1. A.
There are basically two types of succession, they are primary and secondary succession. Primary succession refers to the type of succession that occurs in new and bare areas where the soil present is unable  to sustain the growth of plants. An example of primary succession area is an area with sand dunes that is freshly formed. Primary succession usually occur over a long period of time. Secondary succession is a type of succession that occur on a land which was disturbed by  hazardous events such as fire outbreak, flood, etc. Secondary succession occurs much faster than the primary succession.

2. D
There are two types of factors that affect any particular ecosystem, these are abiotic and biotic factors. The abiotic factors refers to non living factors such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, etc. while the biotic factors refer to the living factors. Looking at the options given above, one will see that only option D has living factor, which is predators. All other options have abiotic factors.

Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Fist sequence; Fourth sequence; Second sequence; Third sequence".

Explanation:

Inversion of DNA is a process that often occurs during evolution of chromosomes. It occurs when the breakage of a chromosome in two places, results in the reinsertion of a DNA but in a reversed fashion. The evolutionary order of predecessors of inversion of DNA can be established by looking on the number of nucleotides that are different in the sequences of DNA. In this case, the first sequence is the ancestor and it haves the sequence "ABCDEF". The second in the evolutionary order is the fourth sequence since it originates from the first sequence only by changing the "BC" nucleotides to the end of the sequence "ADEFBC". The third in the evolutionary order is the second sequence since it still starts in AB, but has the other four nucleotides different: "ABFEDC". The last in the evolutionary order is the third sequence, which is completely different and reversed respect to the first sequence: "FEDABC".

Your three blood cell types have different sizes, shapes, and functions. Yet they all started out alike. Within each cell of you
Stolb23 [73]

Ans.

In human body, three types of blood cells are present, which include red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Although these cells are started out alike, they show different shapes, sizes, and functions due to instructions that differentiate them into different types. These instructions are given by particular chromosomes present in the cells as the chromosomes consist of DNA that provides information to the cells, which is responsible for characteristic behavior of that cell.

Hence, the correct answer for the blank is 'B) chromosomes.'

Imagine you are in a laboratory. You are exploring the following reaction: A + B → C When the product C is created, bubbles form
Sloan [31]

Ok so in this experiment what we want to find is the catalyst for the reaction. Our original reaction is the following. A + B --> C, therefore to find which of the unknown substances (X, Y, and Z) is the catalyst reaction we simply have to do the following:


A + B + X --> C

A + B + Y --> C

A + B + Z --> C


The reaction that produces C much faster than our original reaction A + B --> C will be our catalyst. The reason being that one of the substances will increase the rate of the chemical reaction.


I hope it helps, Regards.
