Correct Answer: Sarcomere
Explanation:
The myofibrils are composed of actin and myosin filaments, repeated in units called sarcomeres, which are the basic functional units of the skeletal muscle.
Correct Answer: FALSE
Explanation:
FALSE. Basophils number will not be increased when parasitic invasion occurs.
Basophils are a type of white blood cell. Although they're produced in the bone marrow, they're found in many tissues throughout your body. They're part of your immune system and play a role in its proper function.
Basophils appear in many specific kinds of inflammatory reactions, particularly those that cause allergic symptoms. If your basophil level is low, it may be due to a severe allergic reaction.
Basophils contain anticoagulant heparin, which prevents blood from clotting too quickly. They also contain the vasodilator histamine, which promotes blood flow to tissues.
Correct Answer: Binary Fission
Explanation:
Most bacteria divide by binary fission, a form of cell division in which DNA replication and segregation occur simultaneously. This process involves active partitioning of the single bacterial chromosome and positioning of the site of septation.
Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells.
Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two replicates. The bacterial cell then elongates and splits into two daughter cells each with identical DNA to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell.
Correct Answer: active transport
Explanation:
The only transport method that can move species against their concentration gradient i.e, from low to high concentration is called Active transport.
Facilitated diffusion only moves species down their concentration gradient i.e, from high to low concentration.
Correct Answer: Cerebellum
Correct Answer: nitrates and phosphates
Explanation:
The rungs or the sides of the DNA ladder is made of Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.
Correct Answer: Small intestine
Explanation:
The small intestine is the main area of the GI tract for absorption.
The small intestine has three separate sections. Theyare :
1. The duodenum
2. Jejunum and
3. Ileum.
Hence, the majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the duodenum and jejunum of small intestine.
Correct Answer: Breaking the bonds in a monosaccharide
Correct Answer: Cytoplasm
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration. This process breaks down glucose into two pyruvic acids, and produces 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
In eukaryotic cells, glycolysis and fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm.
Correct Answer: phosphates and sugars
Explanation:
In DNA, adjacent nucleotides are linked by a phosphodiester bond: a covalent bond is formed between the 5' phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3'-OH group of another.
Hence, in this manner, each strand of DNA has a "backbone" of phosphate-sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate.
