Answer:
a) Ribosomes
b) Please find the justification for the answer in (a) below.
Explanation:
According to this question, Hepatitis C is a virus that causes liver disease by attacking the liver. However, a REDUCTION IN ALBUMIN, which is a protein that regulates oncotic pressure of blood in humans- a process necessary for the regulation of fluids in vessels of the body and tissue repair, has been found to have to do with liver disease.
Since ALBUMIN is a protein produced by the liver, which when diseased causes a reduction to the blood-albumin level, the organelle in liver cells that is most likely being affected by hepatitis C is the RIBOSOME. This is because the RIBOSOME is the organelle/site for PROTEIN SYNTHESIS in any cell. Hence, the ribosome organelle of the liver cells are responsible for synthesis of Albumin protein.
Hence, a diseased liver due to attack by Hepatitis C virus means an attack on the RIBOSOMES of the liver cells producing the protein.
The steroids are produced by the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
The cells, which are involved in the secretion of the steroid molecules have an abundant number of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which is abbrevated as SER.
The cells present in the ovary and the testis have a large number of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The abundant number of smoothe endoplasmic reticulum allow them to produce a large amount of steroid molecule to produce the steroid hormones estrogen and testosterone.
Hence, in this case, the ovarian cells would have a large number of SER.
Answer:
The correct answer is "the temperature is above 23 °C but not exceeding 40 °C".
Explanation:
The main function of virgin queens in a bee's hive is reproduction. Normally virgin queens do not exit the hive except to perform mating flight(s), which normally are done with 10–20 drone bees and then return to the hive as mated queen bees. Usually virgin queens perform her mating flight(s) in ideal temperature conditions, which are with a temperature above 23 °C but not exceeding 40 °C.
