Protected from the harmful effects of free radicals, often referred to as reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a by-product of metabolic reactions of cells that use oxygen (aerobic respiration) to produce energy from carbohydrates (food). The problem with H2O2 is that it can be toxic to cells, due to its free radical properties, as an ROS. Organisms protect themselves from this by using an enzyme called peroxidase, also known as cayalase.

The circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers in the highlighted structure perform which function?
puteri [66]

Answer:constriction of pupil

Explanation:the circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers in the highlighted structure ie the iris causes constriction of the pupil.

The iris basically has ciliary muscles that control Lens shape ,this happens when the ciliary muscles under the signal of the parasympathetic nervous system contract leading to the constriction of the pupil and when these muscles relax then dilation of the pupil will occur

If a person is heterozygous for the Δ32 allele of the CCR5 gene, how many of the four daughter cells produced by meiosis will ha
never [62]

Answer:

The correct option is B: 2

Explanation:

Before meiosis takes place, the entire genetic material within the cell is replicated, this results in 2 copies of the 2n DNA. Since the person is heterozygous for the mutated allele, there is one copy of it present within one 2n set of chromosomes. Two of the 2n chromosomal sets means there would be two copies of it present in total and when the segregation event happens to create haploid cells, two of the cells will inherit the mutated copy.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

If 84 J of work are exerted to pull a wagon, how much force does it take to pull the wagon 7.0 m? Round your answer to the neare
nirvana33 [79]
Work is said to be done when an object moves due to a force applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled due to the force. It is expressed as:

W = Force x distance

W = 84 J = F (7.0 m)
F = 12 N

Hope this answers the question.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

B) A little cellular respiration was taking place but not enough for growth.

Explanation:

Germination is a biological process that has a high energy demand, this requirement being fulfilled by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration enables the germinating seeds to convert chemical energy from oxygen (O2) molecules and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cells. Cellular respiration increases as seeds emerge and begin to germinate. In this case, cellular respiration was not enough to fulfill the energy requirements of the germinating soybean seeds, which can be measured by the amount of O2 consumed during this process.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

B cells are a type of white blood cells of a subtype called lymphocytes. They confer acquired or adaptive immunity. This means that B lymphocytes responses to infective microbes are from the memories of their previous encounter with the microbes or antigens.

B lymphocytes fight bacteria and viruses by making Y-shaped proteins called antibodies. These antibodies are specific for each pathogen encountered. They identify and lock on to the surface of invading pathogenic cells and mark and present them for destruction by other immune cells.

Oftentimes, these antibodies are enough to fight off most bacterial infections that we have and therefore there's no need for extensive treatment with drugs.
