Autophagosomes are lysosomes that consume old and worn-out cellular organelles and pieces of their own cells in order to produce energy.

Gram-negative bacteria are more likely to have pilli. Long, filamentous projections called pili emerge from the surface of bacteria and serve a number of purposes, such as adhesion, movement, and conjugation. They are made up of protein subunits and can contribute to pathogenicity by enabling the attachment of bacteria to host tissues and cells.

Animal cells lack chloroplasts and a cell wall. In contrast to plant cells, which have big, permanent, central vacuoles, they contain tiny, transient vacuoles.

Atrial systole, ventricular systole, and complete cardiac diastole are the three main phases of every single heartbeat. The contraction of the atria that results in ventricular filling is known as atrial systole.

A cell organelle with two membranes is called a mitochondria. Numerous globular particles known as F1 particles are scattered throughout the inner membrane’s cristae, or folding.

Choice: B The cell body of a lower motor neuron is located in the grey matter’s anterior column.

During pregnancy, the ovary and placenta release the hormone relaxin, which relaxes pelvic ligaments and causes the cervix to soften and widen during childbirth. The granulosa cells in the ovaries secrete an inhibitor that prevents the anterior pituitary from secreting FSH. As a result, relaxin and inhibin are not antagonistic and serve distinct purposes.

The joint between the superior margin of the xiphoid process and the inferior margin of the sternum’s body is known as the xiphisternal joint, or less frequently, the sternoxiphoid joint. The lower end of the sternum, known as the xiphoid process, is unattached to any ribs.

The ductless glands (and occasionally neurons) produce hormones, which are chemical messengers that are carried to target cells through the bloodstream. They control metabolic functions. Hormones can be classified chemically as biogenic amines (such as thyroxine, adrenaline, etc.), proteinaceous or polypeptides (such as hypothalamic hormones, etc.), and steroids (such as adrenocorticoids and sex hormones).

Since neurons lack centrosomes, they are unable to divide. Organelles called centrosomes aid in the organization of microtubules, which are necessary for cell division. Neurons cannot divide correctly without centrosomes, which prevents them from self-repairing or replacing damaged cells.

Both the main and secondary cell walls include cellulose. Pectin and the sticky, gel-like calcium and magnesium salts (pectates) make up the middle lamella.

Physalia physalis, commonly known as the Portuguese man o’ war, is a colonial organism rather than a single biological entity. Like coelenterates, it is a member of the phylum Cnidaria.

(b) Every alveolar duct in the lung opens into the alveolar sac, also known as the infundibulum, a blind chamber. The latter is made up of a central passage that radiates air sacs, or alveoli, on all sides.The infundibulum resembles a tiny cluster of grapes due to the air sacs. The alveolar wall is made of simple moist, nonciliated, squamous epithelium and is extremely thin (0.0001 mm thick). Alveoli have an enormous surface area and an infinite number of them. The gaseous exchange in the alveoli is further accelerated by this.

To start a chemical reaction, the energy needed to break existing chemical bonds is known as “activation energy.” The bare minimum of energy needed for a reaction to take place is known as activation energy. It stands for the energy barrier that reactant molecules must cross in order to change into the product state.

The smallest distance between two spots that a person may still perceive as distinct pictures under a microscope is known as resolution.

Males are far more likely than females to suffer from X-linked recessive disorders because it is unlikely that females will have two mutated copies of this gene.

These bases join forces with complementary purines to form hydrogen bonds in DNA and RNA. The pyrimidines thymine (T) and cytosine (C) are thus paired with the purines adenine (A) and guanine (G) in DNA.Phosphate groups, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous bases are typically found in nucleotides.

The Phylum Porifera includes bath sponges and euplectells.

Hydra, jellyfish, and obelia are phylum cnidaria examples.

The heartstrings, also referred to as chordae tendinae (tendinous cords), are fibrous cords of connective tissue that resemble tendon and connect the papillary muscles to the heart’s tricuspid and mitral valves. are thus positioned in the ventricles, as the following diagram illustrates:

The excretory organs found in annelids like earthworms are called nephridia. For osmoregulation, protonephridia or flame cells are found in flatworms, cephalochordates, and rotifers.

A highly specialized synapse between a motor neuron’s nerve terminal and its muscle fiber is called a neuromuscular junction, and it is in charge of transforming electrical impulses produced by the motor neuron into electrical activity in the muscle fibers.

The proliferative phase starts after menstruation. The precise timing can vary, but it typically lasts from day 6 to day 14 of a 28-day cycle. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) promotes the growth of ovarian follicles, each of which contains an immature egg (oocyte), during this phase. The growing follicles produce increasing amounts of estrogen, which promote the uterine endometrial lining’s growth and multiplication.

The specialized photosystems, photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII), are found in the thylakoid membrane systems of cyanobacteria and plant and algal chloroplasts. Through photosynthetic electron transport (PET), the reaction centers in these systems photochemically convert light energy into chemical energy that can be used, such as ATP and NADPH.
