In an animal cell, what is the function of the lysosomes?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Release enzymes outside of the cell (exocytosis)
which may serve the purpose of destroying materials around the cell.Break-down 'digestion' of materials from inside the cell (autophagy) 
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from inside the cell. 
This could include digesting worn-out organelles so that useful chemicals locked-up in their structures can be re-used by the cell.Break-down 'digestion' of materials from outside the cell (heterophagy)
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from outside the cell.
This could include breaking-down material taken-in by phagocytes, which include many types of white blood cells - also known as leucocytes. Specific mechanisms of heterophagy can be:phagocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular debris, bacteria or other particles - only occurs in certain specialized cellspinocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular fluidendocytic - by which cells take-up particles such as molecules that have become attached to the outer-surface of the cell membrane.Recycle the products of biochemical reactions that have taken place following materials being brought into the cell by endocytosis (general term for this 'recycling' function: biosynthesis) 
Different materials (chemicals) are processed in different ways, e.g. some structures may be processed/degraded within lysosomes and others are taken to the surface of the cell.Completely break-down cells that have died (autolysis)

In general, the functions of lysosomes involve breaking-down i.e. processing to 'make safe' or make use of, or removing from the cell e.g. by exocytosis, useless and potentially harmful materials such as old worn-out parts of the cell or potential threats such bacteria. Lysosomes can therefore be thought of as the rubbish disposal units within cel

Unnatural occurrences can have the most significant impact on an ecosystem. True

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Unnatural occurences are those catastrophic events induced by humans which can exert drastic impact over the ecosystem. These may include deforestation, forest fire, intentional explosion, and others. This will result in loss of many species due to damage caused to the non-living physical environment.
If your question is true or false, my answer is True. 
Because any unnatural occurrences like building houses can change the ecosystem a lot. 
When we build a house we are destroying some animals house.

Neurons are highly specialized cells that have lost the ability to divide. What phase are neurons in? A) Telophase
B)G0 phase
C)Anaphase
D)Meiosis II

Answers

The right option is; B) G0 phase

Neurons are in the G0 phase.

The G0 phase is a stage in the cell cycle in which cells do not divide or prepare for division but continue to carry out its normal functions for the rest of the organism's life. This phase is the resting phase of the cell and it is seen either as an extended G1 phase or a different stage that occurs outside of the cell cycle. Cells in the G0 phase include neurons, liver cells and heart muscle cells.


the answer is G0 phase

A plant with round seeds is crossed with another plant with round seeds. Round are dominant over oval seeds. When two heterozygous round-seeded plants are crossed, what is expected of their offspring, assuming random chromosome segregation?

Answers

Because the plants are heterozygous their alleles will be Ss (for example) Therefore if you crossed them over your possible outcome would be SS, Ss, Ss, and ss. Because the round seeds are dominant (shown as the capital S) this means that if the S is shown then the plant will have ROUND seeds. Therefore in this situation 3/4 of all the offspring would have round seeds.

A critical period?A.begins and ends abruptly
B.begins and ends gradually
C.is unaffected by stimuli
D.is unlikely to impact development

Answers

A criticalperiod begins and ends abruptly. The correct option is A.

What is a critical period?

The term CriticalPeriod, coined by philosopher JohnFiske in 1888 with his book 'The Critical Period of AmericanHistory,' refers to the 1780s, a time immediately following the American Revolution when the future of the newly formed nation was in doubt.

The period between the adoption of the Articles of Confederation and the adoption of the FederalConstitution (1781-89) has been dubbed the "criticalperiod" of American history.

A variety of efforts were made to realize the republican ideals of the country.

Most states established new state governments, expanding voting and officeholding rights.

Many people were concerned during the "critical period" following the American Revolution that the Articles of Confederation were insufficient for the states to grow commercially and economically.

A critical period begins and ends abruptly.

Thus, the correct option is A.
