Answer:
SER, they are capable of synthesizing testosterone of Adrenocortical cells.
Explanation:
Adrenal smooth microsomal cells are enriched in smooth endoplasmic reticulum SER, membranes of which contain high levels of translocation apparatus and oligosaccharyltransferase complex proteins. STEROID-SECRETING CELLS are characterized by abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). These cells synthesize cholesterol as a precursor for steroid hormones or take up this substrate from plasma lipoproteins. Many of the enzymes for sterol and steroid synthesis are localized in the smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum. This organelle is particularly prominent in cells of the inner zones of the adrenal and fluctuates in amount and configuration in response to hormonal stimulation and sterol levels.
Answer:
1. Signaling molecule
2. Signaling receptors
Explanation:
Hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc. serve the function of signaling molecules for cells. These molecules are released by one cell and bind to the receptors present on/in the target cells to elicit the desired response. Thereby, the signaling molecules serve in cell-cell communication.
For example, insulin hormone synthesized and released from beta cells of pancreas binds to its cell surface receptors present on the surfaces of liver cells and muscle cells to stimulate the uptake of the glucose from the blood.
Likewise, neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic neuron bind to receptors present on the membrane of postsynaptic neuron and serve to carry the nerve impulse to the postsynaptic neuron.
Answer:
Genetic diversity is an advantage of sexual reproduction because it reduces the occurrence of unfavorable genetic traits and a variety of genes would lessen the chance of the extinction of a population due to environmental changes. The variation between a genetically diverse species will guarantee at least some of it survive when presented with different climates or challenges.
There are a few different names for Mitosis: Cell division and cellular division (these are the words that I can think of) I hope this helps.
Answer:
The ecosystem would collapse if producers were removed.
Explanation:
The primary consumers populating would decrease due to lack of food and if a species doesn’t have food they most likely won’t reproduce. The secondary consumers won’t have enough food either because their prey being the primary consumers would die off. All this leads to the down fall of ecosystem.
