Answer: d. carcinogens

Explanation:

A carcinogen is any substance or radiation which is likely to cause damage to the genome of the organism and disturbing the cellular metabolic processes. These causes mutation in the genome which is responsible for the proliferation and uncontrolled cell division of abnormal cells a condition called as cancer. Carcinogens are of the following types:

Biological (bacteria)

Chemical ( nicotine and asbestos)

Physical (UV radiations)

On the basis of the above explanation, the cancer causing agents are called carcinogens.

The crabs are salt water organisms, so they'll have a higher concentration gradient than the distilled water. In other words, they're hypertonic to the distilled water. This will cause them to take on water and expand; their cells bursting.

Explain how ligand A and ligand B can cause identical cellular responses in a cell?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Ligand A and ligand B can cause same cellular responses in a cell when they are attached to different receptors.

Explanation:

If two same ligands are attached to two different receptors, two different responses will occurs. Such type of response is present in acetylcholine, while when two different ligands attached to two different receptors, same response will occur. This type of response is present in glucagon and epinephrine etc. ligands are responsible for controlling the transcription process when it binds or attached to the DNA molecule of the cell.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
aksik [14]

Answer:

Just before the cat drops, it was stationery. Therefore it has energy of position called  potential energy.As it drops, the Gravitational potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy,The conversion mid- air is P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E, until it touches the ground. As it touches the  ground all the energy is converted to P.E energy of position.

As it runs after mouse the P.E is converted back to Kinetic , energy of motion. As it feeds on the mouse , the chemical energy obtained  as protein from mouse meat.This is later converted back to Mechanical energy as (kinetic and Potential  energy)   in the cat.

A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The interphase of the cell cycle includes three stages: G1, S, and G2. During the S phase of interphase, the cell enters the process of DNA replication. DNA replication duplicates the existing DNA molecule and doubles the DNA content of the cell. The cell accommodates the newly formed DNA in two sister chromatids of chromosomes. If a cell of grasshopper contained 200 units of DNA in the G2 phase, the cell would have 100 units of DNA in the G1 phase. The S phase would have doubled the DNA content and the G2 phase had 200 units.
