Biology Questions

A cytoskeleton is the frame that gives shape to a cell. And also it offers support, and facilitates movement through three main components:

microfilaments,

intermediate filaments, and

microtubules.

The cytoskeleton helps the cell move in its environment and controls the movement of all of the cell's interior workings.

• The yellow color of urine is due to the presence of a yellow pigment, urochrome.
  
• The color of normal urine is usually light yellow to amber.

• Generally the greater the solute volume the deeper the color.

The clotting of blood is a chain reaction initiated by the enzyme Thrombokinase produced by the platelets. This causes Prothrombin and calcium salts in plasma to join and produce thrombin. Thrombin combines with Fibrinogen to produce Fibrin threads which entangles the corpuscles  to create a clot.

Succus Entericus is the alkaline secretion produced by glands in the wall of the duodenum, consisting of water, mucoproteins, and hydrogencarbonate ions.

Succus Entericus is secreted by Crypts of Lieberkuhn.

It helps to counteract the highly acidic and proteolytic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach, and thus protects the duodenum from damage.

Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Major fructose sources include all fruits and honey.
