Which type of cell adhesion is useful for anchoring cells together and defending against shear forces on tissues

Biology

Angelina_Jolie [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Desmosomes

Explanation:

Desmosomes are cellular structures that adhere to neighboring cells. Its function is to hold the epithelial cells together, associating the intermediate filament cytoskeletons of neighboring cells, thus forming a transcellular network with high resistance to mechanical traction. It thus allows the cells to maintain their shape and the epithelial sheet to exist in a stable form. Inside cells act as anchoring sites for intermediate rope-shaped filaments, which form a structural network in the cytoplasm providing a certain rigidity. Through these junctions the intermediate filaments of the adjacent cells are indirectly connected forming a continuous network that extends throughout the tissue.

aliya0001 [1]
Production of sperms is referred as spermatogenesis and production of ovum or egg is called oogenesis. Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are similar in a way in humans as bth these processes produce large numbers of sperms and eggs. Spermatogenesis is a continuous process where large numbers of sperms are produced at once and uses less energy. Ovulation is a process where only one egg or ovum matures at a time requires more energy. Not all the egg cells mature in females.

Even though plants cells photosynthesize, they still use their mitochondria for oxidation of pyruvate. This will occur in _____.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

All cells all the time.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process of the formation of organic nutrients, glucose in the presence of sunlight by fixing CO2. Cellular respiration is the oxidation of nutrients. The process forms ATP which in turn serve as energy currency for living cells.  

Plant cells perform cellular respiration to obtain the energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose. The energy obtained by cellular respiration is used to perform the vital functions by cells. Therefore, irrespective of photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all the cells of the plants all the time to fulfill the energy requirement for growth and development.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.

Explanation:

Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.

In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.
