- To determine:Whether the life of a cell ends after mitosis and cytoplasmic division.Introduction:Ever organisms present in the environment contains cell. The cell is the basic “fundamental unit” of life. Cell performs a number of important functions. These are termed as cellular activities. Reproduction is also an important cellular activity. All the new cells are formed from the old cell. The process by which a cell produces its progenies is termed as reproduction. Mitosis and cytoplasmic division are types of reproduction.arrow_forwardP ESC (Embryonic Stem Cell) has ability to proliferate and differentiate into various cell types. Determining right and wrongarrow_forwardA synthetic biology research team successfully created a new organism in the lab. Which of the following characteristics should this organism possess to be considered a living entity? Cellular organization Metabolism Inorganic composition Homeostasis Growth and reproduction Response to stimuli Its genetic material never undergoes mutation and is always identical to its parentarrow_forward
- Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm in which: proteins are deaminated. proteins are synthesized. proteins are packaged for export. energy-rich molecules are broken down, using oxygen, to provide energy for cell activities. proteins are united with carbohydrates to form glycoproteins.arrow_forwardWhich statement about cellular aging is TRUE? Cellular aging is unrelated to the first law of thermodynamics Oxidative stress prevents cellular aging. cellular aging is the result of an intracellular accumulation of damaged proteins Telomere length is maintained indefinitely in all cells, causing cellular aging.arrow_forwardThe image shows the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis during cellular respiration within a eukaryotic cell. The reaction shows the conversion of glucose into ATP and heat during eukaryotic cellular respiration. Which of the following is true regarding specialized cellular respiration occurring in newborns and hibernating mammals to maintain body temperature? Additional molecules of glucose are oxidized to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals. The cellular efficiency of ATP synthesis increases to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals. The cellular efficiency of the electron transport chain increases to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals. The electron transport chain and proton gradient efficiency are maintained without ATP synthesis to generate the additional body heat required for human infants and hibernating mammals.arrow_forward
- Your body stores energy in the form of fat and other organic molecules. When your body needs extra energy, it breaks apart the molecules of fat to release that energy (sometimes called "burning fat"). That energy is used to power cellular reactions or is lost as heat. The total amount of energy used by your body or lost as heat equals the amount of energy the molecules of fat originally stored before breaking apart. This process is an example of the _________law of thermodynamics. A. first B. secondarrow_forwardMost of cellular respiration occurs inside of which organelle?

- Ordinary cell division produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical. This type of cell division is important for all of the following functions EXCEPT cell replacement. growth of a multicellular organism. production of sperm and eggs. asexual reproduction.arrow_forwardIt is one of the processes that readies an organism for more complex processes wherein we see an arrangement of the cells in order to begin formation of our organs.arrow_forwardwhich cellular function is performed by only some types of cells? obtaining nutrients and chemical building blocks maintaining integrity of plasma division replacing cells through cell division disposing of wastesarrow_forward
