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.

Alecsey [184]

C is incorrect

Both acids and bases produce ions in solution, are electrolytes, and conduct electricity in solution. Although red litmus is an indicator, it does not change color in an acid, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. Soaps often contain bases, not acids.

D) conduct electricity in water. is the correct answer

Given are five km values for the binding of substrates to a particular enzyme. which has the strongest affinity when k–1 is grea
solmaris [256]

Answer;

- 1.2 nM

Explanation;

-Smallest Km means highest affinity, can bind substrate better at lower concentrations. The relationship between rate of reaction and concentration of substrate depends on the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate. This is usually expressed as the Km (Michaelis constant) of the enzyme, an inverse measure of affinity

-Km is therefore, the concentration of substrate which permits the enzyme to achieve half Vmax. An enzyme with a high Km has a low affinity for its substrate, and requires a greater concentration of substrate to achieve Vmax.

A botanist has discovered a new plant species and is trying to classify the plant. Its seed has one cotyledon, it has six flower
lana66690 [7]

The best suited group for the mentioned plant is Angiosperms and monocot.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

As mentioned the seed of the plant has one cotyledon and the specific name for these type of plants whose seeds has one cotyledon is called Monocot, Suppose if the seed of the plant has two seeds, It is called dicot.

Hence we can conclude that the mentioned plant comes under monocot and not dicot.  On the other hand, Angiosperms refers to the plants that has flowers with it and gymnosperms usually includes plants without flowers and hence we can classify the plant as Angiosperm and monocot.
