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.

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_forwardMitochondria 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_forward
- Which 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_forwardYour 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_forwardRespiration is the process of breaking down glucose to produce ATP to fuel activities that occur in living things. producing glucose by fixing atmospheric carbon to broken down water molecules using energy from the sun. catalyzing chemical reactions at a cellular level to speed up bodily functions.arrow_forward
