The answer to this question would be: <span>producing large quantities of proteins for secretion

Cell with many smooth endoplasmic reticulum has a high protein synthesis capability. This will make the cell able to produce many proteins like enzyme. One example of this type of cell will be hepatocyte or cell in the liver. This cell will need many enzymes to detoxify toxin in the body.</span>

The right answer is synthesize large quantities of lipids.

It should be known that there are two types of endoplasmic reticulum: rough (contains ribosomes) and smooth (does not contain ribosomes).

The rough endoplasmic reticulum harvests in its light the proteins synthesized by the ribosomes attached to its surface. The proteins then move inside the light to be eventually transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they will complete their maturation and be distributed to the different compartments of the cell.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum carries, associated with its membrane, the enzymes necessary for the synthesis of lipids and lipoproteins (molecules associating a protein part and a lipid part). Very reduced in the majority of cells, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is very extensive in cells specialized in the synthesis of lipids (adipocytes) or in that of lipoproteins (hepatocytes for example).

.The pollen-producing structures of gymnosperms are locked away in cones and generally not accessible to insects. What mechanism
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Wind

Explanation:

Gymnosperms can be described as plants which lack flowers and fruits.

As they do not have flowers to attract insects like the angiosperms, they can, however, transfer their pollen through the wind. As pollen is very light in weight hence, it can be transported by the wind. The pollen transported by the wind usually results in self-pollination as the wind is not able to take the pollen to long distances.

As discussed in Investigating Life 15.1, why might bioluminescence be an advantage for some species of dinoflagellates?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Bioluminescence is the phenomenon which is seen in the dinoflagellates which is very common. It is caused due to chemical reactions that takes place inside the organism.

There is an influx of protons in the cell which drops the pH of the cell. It is the oxidation of luciferin which produces the glow.

This phenomenon acts as a shock for the predator because it is in the form of flash for less than 20 microseconds.This flash reduces the number of dinoflagellates which is being eaten by the predator.

What are the three parts of the body responsible for the excretion of excess water
hram777 [196]

The organs that are involved in the excretion of water from the body include:

1. Kidneys (Primary organ for water removal)

2. Skin

3. Lungs

The kidneys play a key role in maintaining the water balance of the body. The kidneys control the water levels in the body by conserve water when there is shortage, and they can expel excess water by diluting the urine.

The skin has water in it. This water gets lost to the atmosphere by the process of evaporation. This is independent of the process of sweating wherein the skin actively releases water in the form of sweat to cool the body.

Our breath has a lot of moisture in it. This moisture is present due to the evaporation process taking place within the lungs due to the heat of the body. Thus lungs also become a part of the water loss mechanism.
