Biology Questions

A tissue is an ensemble of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same origin that together carry out a specific function.

Hence, Cells with similar markers stick together and function as tissues.

All the carbon atoms in glucose ultimately incorporated during cellular respiration into carbon dioxide molecules.

In the adult heart, blood in the right chambers of the heart cannot enter the left chambers without passing through the lungs is correct regarding mammalian heart.

The left atrium is the upper left chamber of the heart that receives blood from the pulmonary veins.

The heart is responsible for circulating blood throughout the body. The heart is divided into four chambers. The upper chamber is known as the atrium while the lower chamber is referred to as the ventricle.

Nucleotides are the building blocks of the DNA and RNA used as genetic material. Nucleotides also are used for cell signaling and to transport energy throughout cells.

Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are made up of nucleotides which consist of three parts::

1. Nitrogenous Base
2. Pentose Sugar
3. Phosphate Group.

The protein synthesis take place in a cell outside the nucleus in the structures called ribosomes. Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA molecules.

Cretinism is a disease caused by hypothyroidism(less thyroxine formation).The symptoms of the disease are retardation  of mental, physical and sexual developments. Potbellt, protruding tongue, dry skin etc are also indicative of this disease.

Sexual reproduction results in gametes that combine two cells from different individuals. Meiosis also produces gametes. Haploids contain one set of chromosomes in each of their cells. Diploids cells contain two chromosome sets. For plants, haploid and diploid cells divide via mitosis. The plants’ haploid phase is called the gametophyte, and the diploid phase is called the sporophyte.

Sporophytes are diploid plants that use meiosis to produce spores. These spores are haploid cells that grow into haploid gametophytes. Megaspores grow into female gametophytes, and microspores grow into male gametophytes.

Gametophytes are haploid plants that use mitosis to make haploid gametes. These gametes are female in the form of an ovum (egg) or male in the form of sperm.
